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.
Controls are understandable
Forms and interactive controls expose usable names and structure.
Optional surfaces appear only when the scan finds positive evidence that the site offers them.

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 a valid XML sitemap at /sitemap.xml listing all indexable URLs. Include lastmod dates and keep it under 50MB.
Add Organization JSON-LD that includes both contactPoint (with email/phone and contactType) and address (PostalAddress). This lets AI verify your business legitimacy and answer contact queries.
Applicable evidence is grouped by how it contributes to this preview model. Bonus checks appear only when they add points.
