+
+<p class="lede">If you have been rated by us, you may display the badge. It is served from our
+domain and regenerated from the database, so it is not a picture you copy. It is a live reference
+to a record you do not control.</p>
+
+<h2>How it works</h2>
+<table>
+  <tr><th>The badge is</th><th>Which means</th></tr>
+  <tr><td>Served from <code>bigtech.sucks</code></td><td>A copy pasted onto your own server is not a badge and its link will not resolve.</td></tr>
+  <tr><td>Generated from the record</td><td>The score and date are not typed by anyone. They come out of the database.</td></tr>
+  <tr><td>Regenerated every build</td><td>Improve and your badge improves without asking. Regress and it regresses without warning.</td></tr>
+  <tr><td>Linked to the report</td><td>Anyone who clicks it lands on your evidence trail, not a marketing page.</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<h2>The rules, published plainly</h2>
+<p class="note">Only a rated product may display a badge. There is no badge for an unrated product,
+and we will not issue one as a favour. If a badge is used on a product that is not rated, or is
+altered to show a score we did not publish, we will say so publicly.</p>
+<p class="note">A badge is free. It always will be. It is marketing for you and it is receipts
+for your customer, and charging for it would make it worthless to both.</p>
+
+<h2>Available badges</h2>
+${examples || '<p class="note">Nothing rated yet, so no badges exist. That is the correct state.</p>'}
+
+<h2>Why you would want this</h2>
+<p class="note">Because every competitor who cannot show one is leaving a question on the table.
+A privacy claim in your own copy is a claim. A badge that links to a re-runnable audit is evidence,
+and it costs you nothing but the honesty of being measured.</p>`;

+<h1>The rating badge</h1>
+<p class="sub">Put it in your footer. It is not a sticker, and that is the point.</p>
+
+<p class="lede">If you have been rated by us, you may display the badge. It is served from our
+domain and regenerated from the database, so it is not a picture you copy. It is a live reference
+to a record you do not control.</p>
+
+<h2>How it works</h2>
+<table>
+  <tr><th>The badge is</th><th>Which means</th></tr>
+  <tr><td>Served from <code>bigtech.sucks</code></td><td>A copy pasted onto your own server is not a badge and its link will not resolve.</td></tr>
+  <tr><td>Generated from the record</td><td>The score and date are not typed by anyone. They come out of the database.</td></tr>
+  <tr><td>Regenerated every build</td><td>Improve and your badge improves without asking. Regress and it regresses without warning.</td></tr>
+  <tr><td>Linked to the report</td><td>Anyone who clicks it lands on your evidence trail, not a marketing page.</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<h2>The rules, published plainly</h2>
+<p class="note">Only a rated product may display a badge. There is no badge for an unrated product,
+and we will not issue one as a favour. If a badge is used on a product that is not rated, or is
+altered to show a score we did not publish, we will say so publicly.</p>
+<p class="note">A badge is free. It always will be. It is marketing for you and it is receipts
+for your customer, and charging for it would make it worthless to both.</p>
+
+<h2>Available badges</h2>
+
+    <div style="margin:1.5rem 0;padding:1rem;border:1px solid var(--rule);background:#111413">
+      <div style="display:flex;align-items:center;gap:1.25rem;flex-wrap:wrap">
+        <img src="/badge/signal-desktop.svg" width="260" height="56" alt="Signal Desktop rating">
+        <div>
+          <div style="font-size:.9rem">Signal Desktop &middot; <strong>76.4</strong> &middot; grade B</div>
+          <div class="tier">assessed 2026-10-29 &middot; weakest: local_data_exposure</div>
+        </div>
+      </div>
+      <pre style="margin:1rem 0 0">&lt;a href="https://bigtech.sucks/report/signal-desktop.html"&gt;
+  &lt;img src="https://bigtech.sucks/badge/signal-desktop.svg"
+       width="260" height="56"
+       alt="Signal Desktop: bigtech.sucks rating 76.4/100"&gt;
+&lt;/a&gt;</pre>
+    </div>
+
+<h2>Why you would want this</h2>
+<p class="note">Because every competitor who cannot show one is leaving a question on the table.
+A privacy claim in your own copy is a claim. A badge that links to a re-runnable audit is evidence,
+and it costs you nothing but the honesty of being measured.</p>
+<footer>Generated from <code>bigtech.db</code> on 2026-10-29.
+Method btr-0.1. Every number recomputes from its evidence or the build fails.</footer>
