# Agent readiness KPIs for a leadership team

## In short

Track four numbers each quarter: your Ora score and grade, the gap to your sector's median, whether an agent finishes your main task, and your self-check level. Each has a source, an owner and a cadence below. Keep mentions in AI answers as a separate line, because it measures something else.

## The four numbers

| Number | What it tells the board | Where it comes from | How often | Owner |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ora score and grade | How readable and usable your public site is to agents | A scan at Ora, free; the score out of 100, the grade and four layer scores | After each fix and once a quarter | Web lead |
| Gap to the sector median | Where you stand against the sites Ora lists in your sector | The sector's median on the sector guide, from Ora's leaderboard | Once a quarter | Head of digital |
| Main task finished by an agent | Whether an agent can complete the job a customer wants done | Ora's Journey test, or your own walk-through as a guest from the one-hour audit | Once a quarter, on the same task | Ecommerce or product lead |
| Self-check level | Whether the decisions that belong to leadership are made | The self-check, scored in your browser | Once a quarter | The leader who owns agent experience |

Mentions in AI answers are a fifth line, kept apart. Visibility platforms track them by re-running prompts, and they answer a different question from whether an agent can finish a task. The [visibility platforms](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/by-type/visibility-platform) are listed with their prices and [what to ask a vendor](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/what-to-ask) covers the questions.

## Compare like with like

Ora's leaderboard entries were last scanned on 123 different days between 7 Apr 2026 and 5 Nov 2026. 1,974 of the 3,453 were scanned in the 30 days before 5 Nov 2026, and 567 more than 90 days before. A sector median is a good yardstick; a comparison with one named competitor is only fair if both were scanned the same week, so rescan yours before you quote the gap.

-   Do not blend the four numbers into one score. They move for different reasons.
-   Do not quote a one or two point move. Ora says the same scan agrees with itself within a couple of points.
-   Do not put scores from several scanners side by side. They measure different things; the [tool choice](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool) page says which one to use.

## How the line reads in a quarterly report

A fill-in version for the report, with the sector median from your guide and the dates of the scans:

Ora score \[score\] out of 100, grade \[grade\], scanned \[date\]. Sector median \[median\] (Ora's leaderboard, 5 Nov 2026), so we are \[above or below\] it by \[points\]. The weakest layer is \[layer\] at \[percent\]. An agent \[finished or did not finish\] the main task on \[date\], stopping at \[step\]. Self-check level \[level\], held back by \[area\].
