# OpenOSINT — Sponsorship Prospectus

OpenOSINT is an open-source AI-powered OSINT framework used by security researchers, OSINT practitioners, and developers evaluating intelligence APIs. This document describes the sponsorship tiers, the referral funnel, and current audience metrics.

## Audience

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| GitHub stars | 607 |
| GitHub forks | 105 |
| PyPI downloads / month | 4,500 |
| Website visits / month | <!-- TODO: from analytics --> |
| Content reach | <!-- TODO: TikTok 300k, dev.to, freeCodeCamp, LinkedIn --> |

## Referral funnel

OpenOSINT's documentation and interactive REPL link users directly to each provider's API sign-up or pricing page during the configuration step. The path from "install" to "paying customer" has four stages:

1. User installs OpenOSINT from PyPI or source.
2. User reads the Configuration table or tool documentation.
3. Links route them to the provider's sign-up or pricing page.
4. User sets an API key and activates the integration.

**Featured Integration** sponsors are named as the recommended provider for their category, appearing in the badge row, the Integrations table, and the tool-specific documentation — maximizing visibility at every stage of this funnel.

## Tiers

|------|-------|----------|
| **Featured Integration (Yearly)** | $2,000/year (billed annually) | Recommended/default provider for a tool category; logo + badge in README, website, and docs; "Featured (sponsored)" label in the Integrations table; listed first among providers for that category; API shown to OSINT practitioners at the moment of adoption |
| **Featured Integration (Monthly)** | $220/month | Same Featured Integration benefits, billed monthly |
