Ora's one-line summary: NTT's group site offers a solid discovery and crawler-policy foundation, but lacks WebMCP support and any agent instruction file with when-to-use guidance.
What an assistant meets at the door
Before an assistant can read, compare or buy, it has to get in. These rows are the door: whether the bot shield lets the main agents through, what robots.txt tells the search, training and user-triggered agents, and whether the home page has text without running JavaScript.
| Check | Result | What Ora saw |
|---|---|---|
| Not blocked by bot detection | Pass, 2 of 2 | Site accessible to 4 agent user-agents (ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot). |
| Agent crawler reachability | Pass, 2 of 2 | Reachable to every agent we tested - ChatGPT-User: reachable, OAI-SearchBot: reachable, Claude-User: reachable, PerplexityBot: reachable |
| robots.txt AI crawler policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | AI search crawlers: allowed in 18 of 18 checks (3 crawlers on 6 pages). AI training crawlers: allowed in 12 of 12 checks (2 crawlers on 6 pages), not scored. |
| robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | No applicable crawl or usage restriction found for 3 user-triggered agents (chatgpt-user, claude-user, perplexity-user) on 1 public page: https://group.ntt/. Declared policy only; |
| Content without JavaScript | Partial, 1 of 3 | Homepage: 3492 chars with H1, but 0.8% content ratio is below the 5% target. Sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript (2 of 5): https://group.ntt/en/group/gnavi/group/ntt-logosco/ (0 chars) and. |
| Homepage not hidden from search | Pass, 1 of 1 | No noindex on the homepage: no robots, googlebot or bingbot meta tag and no X-Robots-Tag header hides it from search. |
What it can read, and what it can do
The reading layer is what an assistant takes away from the pages: a text file written for it, markdown on request, structured data about the company, a sitemap. The act layer is whether it can do anything through a published interface rather than by clicking through the site.
| Check | Result | What Ora saw |
|---|---|---|
| llms.txt exists | Fail, 0 of 1 | No llms.txt found at /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt. |
| llms.txt formatting | Fail, 0 of 2 | No llms.txt found to evaluate quality |

| Bot-UA markdown serving | Fail, 0 of 1 | No probed bot User-Agent (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User) receives markdown when requesting HTML. Optional: detect AI-bot UAs server-side and serve them a markdown representation directly. |
| JSON-LD structured data | Partial, 3 of 4 | JSON-LD Organization found - missing description and url on this entity |
| Organization schema completeness | Partial, 1 of 2 | Organization schema found but missing: contactPoint, address |

| Category share of voice | Did not apply, 0 of 6 | Category share of voice is in beta. It measures whether agents surface you for capability and use-case searches (not just your name). |
| Developer resource discoverability | Did not apply, 0 of 3 | In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs |
The six payment checks did not apply on this read: Ora did not read the site as a shop.
Three fixes to hand to the web team
Ora estimates how many points each open check would return. These are the largest on this read, in Ora's words where it gave them, so a leader can hand the list over without translating it.
- WebMCP support, worth about 13.9 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 9 of 9 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).
- Agent-friendly 404s, worth about 2.8 points by Ora's estimate: The nonexistent path https://group.ntt/__ora-404-probe-0zn1omhh correctly returns HTTP 404. Partial credit: no Markdown error body was detected.
- Agent auth discovery metadata, worth about 2.6 points by Ora's estimate: Neither /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server found. Probed: group.ntt, api.group.ntt.
Our read
NTT's group site is a well-kept front door with little behind it for an agent to do. All four test agents reached the home page, robots.txt allowed the AI search crawlers in 18 of 18 checks across six pages and the training crawlers in 12 of 12, and no restriction applies to the user-triggered agents; Discovery reads 8 of 9. What an assistant can read is thinner than the door suggests: 3,492 characters with an H1 at a 0.8 percent content ratio, 2 of 5 sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript, a sitemap of 10,922 entries, complete metadata, an Organization block missing its description and url, and no llms.txt. What it can do is nothing yet: neither an API nor OAuth, no MCP server or developer portal, and a search for NTT's API documentation found none of the 10 results official. A C at 68 where one fix, WebMCP, is worth about 14 points, and the rest are change.
