# blog.cfi.co — Retired Estate

> This is a retired estate. blog.cfi.co was published between 2019 and 2026, largely outside CFI.co's editorial process: much of it was templated, and part of it was supplied through a third-party content agency's account. It also carried republished CFI.co editorial material. It is not governed by the CFI.co governance file and it is not part of CFI.co's hashed public archive. Publishing here stopped on 30 July 2026.

## Status
- Publishing on this subdomain stopped on 30 July 2026. No further content will be added.
- Nothing has been deleted or unpublished. Every page remains at its original address; no post, page, media file or category has been removed, and no URL on this subdomain has been redirected away or made to return 404/410.
- This subdomain is outside the perimeter of the [CFI.co governance file](https://cfi.co/ai/) and is not part of CFI.co's hashed, counter-signed public archive (see below).
- 193 links across 139 posts on this subdomain were commercial placements and carried no disclosure at the time they were published. In July 2026 each was marked and a dated editorial note was added to the affected post itself, in place, without removing or altering the surrounding content.
- The full finding is recorded in [CFI.co's known-open register](https://cfi.co/known-open/).

## The governed estate
blog.cfi.co is not part of it. For the estate that is — hashed, GPG-signed, counter-signed by two independent keys, and verifiable end to end — see:

- [cfi.co/llms.txt](https://cfi.co/llms.txt): the machine-readable entry point for CFI.co's governed properties, AI access policy, and public transparency archives.
- [cfi.co/archive/](https://cfi.co/archive/): what the governed archive contains and how to verify it.

## AI access
This subdomain carries the same [CFI.co Open AI Access Licence](https://cfi.co/licence/oaal-1.0) welcome group in `robots.txt` as the rest of CFI.co's properties — nothing here is blocked to AI crawlers. The retirement above is a statement about editorial governance and provenance, not about access: the content may still be read, crawled, indexed, and cited, on the understanding of what it is.

Notice added 30 July 2026.
