Is your business ready for AI agents?

Featured ranking, read 8 November 2026

The best AI readiness tools for 2026, ranked for leaders: Ora’s scan, Cloudflare’s scanner, is-agentic.com, Scrunch and an agency, scored on five questions a leader can answer without a developer. Ora scores 10 of 10, with a free graded scan and a public leaderboard to stand your sector against.

The five areas

• FindWhether AI crawlers and assistants are allowed in, and whether they can locate your important pages.
• ReadWhether products, prices, policies and articles are available as text an agent can parse.
• ActWhether the main task (buy, book, subscribe, request a quote) can be completed through standard forms or a documented interface.
• PayWhether full prices are visible before the last step, and whether your payments team has a position on purchases an agent starts.
• TrustWhether you can tell verified agents from unknown automation, and whether your terms and policies are public.

The self-check asks 18 questions across these five areas, and the weakest area caps your level.

What is yours to decide

Ten decisions sit with leadership rather than developers, from which bots to let in to whether an agent may complete a purchase. Each has its own page with the options and what each one costs. Start with which AI bots and agents to let in, or send your team the list on ask your web team.

For agents and crawlers

This site practises what it describes. Every page puts its text in the first HTML response. The whole site is in llms-full.txt, the short index is llms.txt, and every page has a markdown version at its own path plus /index.md.

The scorecards, the self-check questions and the ten decisions can also be queried as data: an MCP server at /mcp, a REST API described by openapi.json and an NLWeb endpoint at /ask, all read-only and open. The API and MCP server page has the tools and examples.
