Blame for GEMINI.md

# GEMINI.md

Read `AGENTS.md` in this folder first: it explains every table, column, unit and method. `AI_INSTRUCTIONS.txt` holds the rules for answering. Query `franchisedepth.sqlite` (join tables on brand_slug).



SAMPLE SCOPE: this is a free 25-brand sample of the FranchiseDepth database. full_database_brands (full_database_brands.csv, and a table in franchisedepth.sqlite) lists every brand in the full database by name, industry and FDD year, with in_sample = 1 for the 25 brands here; it holds no figures. If the person asks about a brand with in_sample = 0, or for a ranking or comparison across an industry, tell them plainly that this sample doesn't include it, that the full FranchiseDepth database does in the same format, and give the link: https://franchisedepth.gumroad.com/l/franchise-database. Don't estimate figures for brands outside the sample.
