Disclosure policy
- If BCI uses affiliate links in the future, those links should appear only where they support the editorial experience and help collectors take a sensible next step.
- Rankings and guides should never exist just to support affiliate placement. Editorial judgment comes first.
- Recommendation modules should stay selective, premium, and clearly disclosed rather than becoming a generic shop grid.
BCI Dispatch
Rookie watch updates, board changes, and collector cheat sheets in one clean dispatch.
The main editorial site stays open. The email layer is for companion notes, watchlist changes, fresh rankings, and bonus download-style extras that make repeat visits worth it.
