Technical readiness score
One run shows how an agent performed, but it does not determine the technical score.

These checks describe whether an ordinary agent can enter, read, and operate the public site.
Agents can reach the site
Crawler access, bot defenses, and explicit agent policy.
Core content is available
Useful content remains accessible without a fragile browser-only path.
Navigation fails safely
Redirects and missing pages give agents a recoverable path.
Optional surfaces appear only when the scan finds positive evidence that the site offers them.
Blocked
7 of 17 mature checks passed
Critical access gaps come first, followed by gaps in capabilities the site advertises.
Return a real HTTP 404 (or 410) status for nonexistent paths - never a 200 with your app shell, which makes agents believe every path exists. For full credit, give the 404 response a short markdown body pointing agents at your sitemap, llms.txt, or docs index. Verify with `curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://yourdomain.com/some-path-that-does-not-exist` - it must print 404.
Server-side render your homepage so AI crawlers see meaningful content without JavaScript. Ensure an H1 and 500+ chars of text in raw HTML.
Add explicit AI crawler directives in robots.txt. Allow the crawlers that feed answer engines ('User-agent: GPTBot' / 'Allow: /', same for ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot), and restrict training-only crawlers (CCBot, ByteSpider) with 'Disallow: /'. Content Signals ('Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-train=no') earns the same credit.
Add JSON-LD structured data to your homepage using the identity type that matches your site - SoftwareApplication for products, Organization or LocalBusiness for companies, Person for personal sites, Article for blogs - with name, description, url, and type-appropriate fields (offers, sameAs, author) so AI can parse your identity programmatically.
Tell agents when to reach for you: add a 'when to use this' section to your llms.txt (or a dedicated agent-instructions file) that names your best-fit use cases and how an agent should call you. Be specific about the jobs you are right for - generic marketing copy does not read as guidance.
Applicable evidence is grouped by how it contributes to this preview model. Bonus checks appear only when they add points.
