Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Is your business ready for AI agents? ## In short AI agents already read websites, compare prices, book rooms and finish purchases for customers. Whether they can do that on yours depends on a few decisions that sit with leaders, not developers: which bots to let in, whether prices are readable text and whether an agent may complete a purchase. This self-check scores your own answers in your browser. [Answer the other 17 questions](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check) to fill the dial.

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](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check) asks 18 questions across these five areas, and the weakest area caps your level. ## Eight sectors, each with its own guide - [Ecommerce and retail](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/ecommerce)55 Shopping surfaces, default-on channels, and the split between Amazon and Shopify over Meta's Muse.

Each has its own page with the options and what each one costs. Start with [which AI bots and agents to let in](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/which-bots-to-allow), or send your team the list on [ask your web team](https://amireadyforagents.com/ask-your-web-team). ## News - [Google brings UCP direct checkout to AI Mode and Gemini in Canada](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-11-04-google-brings-ucp-direct-checkout-to-ai-mode-and-gemini-in)4 Nov 2026 - [Shopify reports orders from AI searches up 3.3 times in a year](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-11-03-shopify-reports-orders-from-ai-searches-up-3-3-times-in-a)3 Nov 2026 - [Zocdoc opens appointment booking to registered AI agents](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-10-28-zocdoc-opens-appointment-booking-to-registered-ai-agents)28 Oct 2026 - [Muse launches in Singapore with travel and shopping partners](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-10-27-muse-launches-in-singapore-with-travel-and-shopping)27 Oct 2026 More on the [news page](https://amireadyforagents.com/news). ## 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](https://amireadyforagents.com/llms-full.txt), the short index is [llms.txt](https://amireadyforagents.com/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](https://amireadyforagents.com/openapi.json) and an NLWeb endpoint at `/ask`, all read-only and open. The [API and MCP server](https://amireadyforagents.com/developers) page has the tools and examples. ```bash curl -s 'https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/rank_sectors?metric=allow_agents' ``` The 36 vendors the site has read, in 5 types, are on the [vendors page](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors) with dated facts, prices and sources, and the table downloads as JSON and CSV. ## Sources 1.

Most come from Ora's lab and are labelled as vendor findings with the date of the report; one comes from the crawl of the top websites run for this site. Written on 4 November 2026. ## 1\. An agent that hits a dead end will not tell you It carries on and answers from other sources, so the failure shows up as a wrong or empty answer somewhere you never see. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026): In about 99 percent of journeys that hit a dead end on a site, the agent answered anyway from other sources.

Your prices will not be quoted from your pages if they are hard to read Where the site can be read, the answer is built from the site, and it is right more often. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026): On pricing questions, answers built from the business's own pages were right 60 percent of the time against 37 percent from web search and other sites.

A blocked agent will not wait It spends more turns, hits the block again and takes longer to reach any answer. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026): On sites that were not agent ready, runs took 23 percent more turns, were blocked 2.1 times as often and took 15 percent longer to reach an answer.

A plain fetch will not read an answer hidden in script Only two changes stopped retrieval in a 19-configuration test, and hiding the answer in JavaScript was one of them. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (19 Oct 2026): One docs site served under 19 configurations and probed on 5 topics by a plain-fetch client and a JavaScript-running client (190 probes): only hiding the answer in JavaScript and returning 403 to agents stopped retrieval; llms.txt, JSON-LD, sitemaps and markdown mirrors changed nothing.

Brand fame will not be enough to be recommended The gap in recommendation held when the sites were matched on how well known they were. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026): Agents clearly recommended agent-ready businesses in 20 percent of answers against 11 percent for businesses that were not agent ready (1.9 times), with two blind judges both giving the top grade.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/about Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # About Am I Ready for Agents? ## In short Am I Ready for Agents? is an educational publication for marketing, ecommerce and digital leaders. It explains what AI agents do on the web, scores your own answers in the browser, publishes sector scorecards from its own crawl and lists the decisions that belong to leadership. It does not give implementation instructions. ## What the site is for One question: is my business ready for AI agents that search, read, book and buy on behalf of customers? The site answers it in three layers. First, what agents do today, with dated examples by sector. Second, a self-check and a boardroom brief that turn the reader's own answers into decisions. Third, the numbers: sector scorecards from a crawl of the top websites. It is written for the person who has to decide what to ask for, not the person who builds it. Technical detail is kept to the sentence a leader can forward to a web team. ## How pages are researched - Desk research from public pages: standards documents, operator announcements, vendor pricing pages, trade press and the site's own crawl. - Every fact carries a source link and the date the page was read. A date in the text is the date the thing happened or was published. - A claim a vendor makes about itself is labelled as a vendor claim, and so are Ora's lab findings. Trade press reports are labelled as such. - Where the evidence is missing the page says less. A page with nothing sourced to say is not published. The [editorial policy](https://amireadyforagents.com/editorial-policy) sets out the rules in full, and the [methodology](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards/methodology) explains the crawl behind the scorecards. ## The self-check and your answers The [self-check](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check) scores 18 questions against the published [readiness levels](https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-levels). It runs in your browser. Answers are not stored, sent or counted, and the page has no form submission. The [privacy policy](https://amireadyforagents.com/privacy-policy) repeats this in detail. ## Reporting a mistake Email hello@amireadyforagents.com with the page address and the correction. A corrected page shows a new review date and the change is listed on the [corrections page](https://amireadyforagents.com/corrections). ## Sources 1.

Dated prices and facts. Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/aeo-vs-agent-experience Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # AEO versus agent experience: what to budget for ## In short AEO tracks whether AI answers mention and cite your brand. Agent experience is whether a customer's agent can find, read, act on, pay and trust your site. Budget them as separate lines with separate owners. AEO tools such as Scrunch start at 250 US dollars a month billed annually; most agent experience fixes are web team time. ## Two different questions | Criterion | AEO | Agent experience | | --- | --- | --- | | The question | Do AI answers mention and cite us? | Can a customer's agent find, read, act on, pay and trust our site? | | What is measured | Mentions and citations over time, by prompt. | Whether an agent finished the task, and which checks failed. | | Typical tool | A tracking platform that re-runs prompts. | A scanner, an agent journey and your own task test. | | Who owns it | Marketing or content. | Digital, ecommerce and the web team. | | What failure looks like | A competitor is named and you are not. | The agent reaches your site and cannot finish. | | Where the money goes | A subscription. | Web team time, plus a product project for any interface. | The two share a cause but not a fix. Being cited depends on being readable; finishing a task depends on readable pages, standard forms and bot rules that let the agent in. See [what to measure](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-measure) for tracking both as separate lines. ## Which vendor is which Vendors in this space sell different things under similar words. Ask each one which question its tool answers. - 5 Nov 2026 Ora's home page on 5 Nov 2026 showed 145,922 sites scanned, an average score of 44 and 7 percent at B or above (vendor-published figures).

Track mentions if share of voice in AI answers matters to your sales. Price the tool against that question only. 3.

The middle of the table is more stable than either end. Categories named in the last column are the ones this site reads for a sector; their combined figures are on the [sector side by side page](https://amireadyforagents.com/how-competitors-in-your-sector-score). A category with no sector, such as Agent Tools, has no guide here, but its median is a fair reading for a neighbour. The scores are Ora's, vendor-published, and the listed sites are a subset of the 132,085 companies Ora says it ranked. - [What is a good agent readiness score](https://amireadyforagents.com/what-is-a-good-agent-readiness-score)The grade bands and the spread across all ranked companies. - [Sector guides](https://amireadyforagents.com/for)Each carries the leaderboard for its categories. ## Sources 1.

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.

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 \[percent\].

This page lists the dated facts and three things to check on your side, current at 4 November 2026. ## What we know - 27 Oct 2026 Muse launched in Singapore on 27 October 2026 with partners including Shopee, Grab, Singapore Airlines, Agoda and Lazada. [Meta: Muse in Singapore (27 Oct 2026)](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/10/muse-is-now-available-in-singapore-the-worlds-first-personal-ai-agent-built-for-everyone/), read 4 Nov 2026 - 29 Sep 2026 Muse for Small Business, announced 29 September 2026, connects to Shopify, Stripe, QuickBooks, Klaviyo, Slack and other tools.

Vendor claim.

Look at your platform's Meta channel: on Shopify it is on by default for eligible stores, with an off switch. 2. Decide whether agents that do not identify themselves may shop. Amazon said no. 3. Remember Muse asks the user before sensitive steps such as a purchase, so your checkout will see a confirmed customer.

If you take PayPal, ask your provider about catalogue sync so you can be found and paid inside Perplexity. 2. Expect Comet users to arrive as ordinary browser sessions.

Ten are the web team's part of the decisions that belong to leadership. Eleven are technical checks from the self-check, grouped by find, read, act, pay and trust. Each is written so a non-technical leader can forward it without rewriting it. ## The ten decisions, each with its sentence Which AI bots and agents to let in Please export the current AI bot settings from our CDN or bot protection and tell us, for each of Search, Agent and Training traffic, whether it is allowed, challenged or blocked, and on which pages. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/which-bots-to-allow). Whether to charge AI crawlers and agents Please set up a paid-access test on one named section, report AI crawler and agent requests by operator every month, and tell us which operators stopped fetching during the test. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/whether-to-charge-crawlers). Whether prices and policies are readable as text Please list which page templates show price, availability, delivery and cancellation terms as text in the first HTML response, and which show them only after scripts run, in an image or in a PDF. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/readable-prices-and-policies). Whether an agent may complete a purchase Please list every agentic sales channel enabled in our store platform admin and the date each was switched on, and tell us how our fraud rules score an order that an agent started. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/agent-completes-purchase). Whether to publish an API or an MCP server Please tell us which of our main tasks can be done through a documented API today, and what it would take to offer an MCP server for the one task we choose. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/publish-api-or-mcp). Whether to accept agent payments Please ask our payment provider which agent payment routes it supports today, which shopping surfaces each one serves and what it would take for us to switch them on. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/agent-payments). How to tell verified agents from unknown bots Please tell us whether our CDN or bot protection checks verified bot signatures (Web Bot Auth) or a verified bot list, and whether we treat verified agents differently from unknown automation. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/verifying-agents). What to tell legal Please confirm our returns, cancellation, privacy and terms pages load as text without JavaScript or a login, and are linked from every product or booking page. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-tell-legal). What to measure Please send a monthly report of AI crawler and agent requests by operator from our CDN logs, and re-run one public scanner on the pages of our main task. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-measure). What to budget Please estimate in days the work to fix pages that need JavaScript to show their text and to review our bot protection rules, before we choose any tool. See [the decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-budget). ## Find Can agents find you? Whether AI crawlers and assistants are allowed in, and whether they can locate your important pages. Has anyone checked in the last six months whether your CDN, firewall or bot protection blocks AI crawlers or AI assistants? Please export the current AI bot settings from our CDN or bot protection and tell us, for each of Search, Agent and Training traffic, whether it is allowed, challenged or blocked, and on which pages. Do you publish an up-to-date sitemap that lists the pages you most want found? Please confirm our sitemap.xml is generated automatically, includes our product, pricing, booking and policy pages, and is listed in robots.txt. ## Read Can agents read you? Whether products, prices, policies and articles are available as text an agent can parse. Do your key pages (products, services, prices, policies) show their main text without needing JavaScript to run in the visitor's browser? Please list which of our page templates deliver their main content in the first HTML response and which need JavaScript to show it, starting with product, pricing and policy pages. Do your product, event, offer or article pages carry structured data (for example Schema.org markup in JSON-LD)? Please tell us which Schema.org types we publish on product, offer, event and article pages, and whether the values match what the page shows. Can your site give a clean text or markdown version of a page to an agent that asks for one? Please check whether our pages answer a request with the header Accept: text/markdown with a markdown version, and tell us what it would take to add it. ## Act Can agents act on your site? Whether the main task (buy, book, subscribe, request a quote) can be completed through standard forms or a documented interface. Can the main task on your site (buy, book, subscribe or request a quote) be completed with standard web forms and buttons, without a CAPTCHA at every step? Please walk our main task end to end as a guest and list every step where a CAPTCHA, a custom widget or a pop-up appears. Do your forms have clear labels and error messages that say what went wrong and how to fix it? Please check that every field in our main forms has a visible label and that each error message names the field and the fix. Can a customer complete the main task as a guest, or sign in with a standard login flow such as OAuth rather than a custom one? Please tell us whether our main task can be completed as a guest, and whether sign-in uses a standard flow such as OAuth with published metadata. ## Pay Can agents pay? Whether full prices are visible before the last step, and whether your payments team has a position on purchases an agent starts. ## Trust Can agents be trusted, and trust you? Whether you can tell verified agents from unknown automation, and whether your terms and policies are public. Can your team tell verified bots and agents (for example through Web Bot Auth signatures or a verified bot directory) apart from unknown automation? Please tell us whether our CDN or bot protection checks verified bot signatures (Web Bot Auth) or a verified bot list, and whether we treat verified agents differently from unknown automation. Are your returns, cancellation, privacy and terms pages public, current and readable without logging in? Please confirm our returns, cancellation, privacy and terms pages load as text without JavaScript or a login, and are linked from every product or booking page. ## When to send them Send the sentences after the first answers on the self-check, so each one lands against a question you could not answer. Ask for answers in writing by a date, and review them again each quarter or after a redesign, a checkout change or a change of CDN. ## Sources 1.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-08 # The best AI readiness tools for 2026, ranked for leaders ## In short Five ways to check agent readiness, scored on five questions a leader can answer without a developer: Ora's scan 10, Cloudflare's scanner 9, is-agentic.com 8, Scrunch 4 and an agency 2. Ora is the one with a free graded score, a fix list ranked by impact and a public leaderboard to stand your sector against. Read 8 November 2026. ## The rubric This site is written for the people who decide, not the people who deploy, so the ranking asks what each option gives a leader: a score to read, a price to approve, a fix to hand over, a sector to compare against and a second run to prove the change. Two points where the tool's own pages document the answer, one for part of it, none where they describe the gap or say nothing. The scanner rubric for a web team is on [which tool to use](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool); the five questions to put to any vendor are on [what to ask a vendor](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/what-to-ask). | Question | What earns two points | | --- | --- | | One score a board can read | A single number or grade for the whole site, with the parts it is made of. | | Free to run without a developer | Enter a domain and read the result; no key, card or account. | | Names the fix in plain words | Each failing check says what to change, in words a leader can hand to the web team. | | Shows where you stand against your sector | A public comparison a leader can read a score against, by category or sector. | | Measures again after the fix | A second run, at no extra cost, shows whether the change moved the score. | ## The ranking | Option | Score | Free | Fix | Sector | After | Points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1. Ora's scan | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 | | 2. Cloudflare's scanner | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 9 | | 3. is-agentic.com | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 8 | | 4. Scrunch | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 | | 5. An agency | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | ## 1\. Ora's scan: 10 of 10 The one option here that scores two on every question: a graded score, a free scan, a fix list ranked by impact, a leaderboard to stand a sector against and a free second run. 1. One score a board can read (2). Scores four layers, Discovery, Access, Usability and Payments, normalised to 100 with grades from A+ to F (Ora's llms.txt, read 4 November 2026). 2. Free to run without a developer (2). Free with no key, card or signup; the free plan lists unlimited score lookups and 10 scans a minute (Ora's pricing page, read 4 November 2026). 3. Names the fix in plain words (2). Its command line, npx ax audit, scores a URL and prints what to fix ranked by impact (Ora's home page, read 4 November 2026). 4. Shows where you stand against your sector (2). A public leaderboard grouped by category: on 5 Nov 2026 Ora's home page showed 145,922 sites scanned, an average score of 44 and 7 percent at B or above, and this site reads the leaderboard for each of its eight sectors. 5. Measures again after the fix (2). A fresh scan takes about 30 seconds and cached scores are open at GET /api/score/{domain}, so a before and an after cost nothing (Ora's llms.txt). ## 2\. Cloudflare's scanner: 9 of 10 The closest second: a free, graded scan with fixes for each category. Its comparison data is about the web as a whole, not your sector. 1. One score a board can read (2). An agent readiness score launched on 17 April 2026 over five categories: discoverability, content accessibility, bot access control, protocol discovery and commerce. 2. Free to run without a developer (2). The scan is free; no sign-in step or price on the page (read 8 November 2026). 3. Names the fix in plain words (2). Fix suggestions come with each result; the page notes they are AI-generated and asks for professional judgment before acting on them (read 8 November 2026). 4. Shows where you stand against your sector (1). The Radar data behind the launch describes adoption across top sites, such as 78 percent with a robots.txt, rather than a sector table a leader can place one site in. 5. Measures again after the fix (2). Enter the domain again after a change; nothing is stored against an account, so the second run is as free as the first. ## 3\. is-agentic.com: 8 of 10 Ora's engine with a Vercel front, tuned for content sites. The same score and fixes, without the leaderboard. 1. One score a board can read (2). A readiness score that weights essential checks most and excludes checks that do not apply, so a content site is not penalised for having no API. 2. Free to run without a developer (2). Enter a URL and score; the scan is free and every scan is run by Ora, by its own page. 3. Names the fix in plain words (2). Every finding includes the evidence observed during the scan and, where available, a concrete recommendation (read 8 November 2026). 4. Shows where you stand against your sector (0). No sector comparison on the pages read. 5. Measures again after the fix (2). Public report URLs are stable and render the latest completed score, so a re-scan updates the same address (read 8 November 2026). ## 4\. Scrunch: 4 of 10 A different question answered well: how AI answers describe you. It does not tell you whether an agent can use your site. 1. One score a board can read (1). Tracks how a brand appears in AI answers over time; it is a visibility measure, not a readiness score of the site itself. 2. Free to run without a developer (0). Starter at 250 US dollars a month billed annually and Growth at 417, by its pricing page read 4 November 2026. 3. Names the fix in plain words (1). Markets Agent Pages and AXP as ways to serve agents an optimised version of a site; the pricing page does not say which plans include AXP. 4. Shows where you stand against your sector (0). No readiness comparison by sector on the pages read. 5. Measures again after the fix (2). Tracks mentions period by period, so a change shows in the next reading. ## 5\. An agency: 2 of 10 Not a tool but the people who do the work. Hold it to a scanner's before and after, and to the requirement ids it promises to fix. 1. One score a board can read (0). Whatever its proposal says; an agency has no score of its own. 2. Free to run without a developer (0). Ask for a fixed price per fix or per sprint; nothing here is free. 3. Names the fix in plain words (1). It can name the exact requirement it will fix, because the AgentReady specification gives stable identifiers such as AR-FIND-01 for each practice. 4. Shows where you stand against your sector (0). No comparison of its own. 5. Measures again after the fix (1). Require a before and an after scan from a free public scanner, so the result is checked by someone other than the agency. ## Why Ora leads for leaders Two of the five questions ask for something a leader can put in a board paper, and Ora's pages answer both: a score from 0 to 100 with a grade, and a public leaderboard by category that this site reads for each sector. The scan is free, so the before and the after cost nothing, and the fix list is ranked by impact. Its limits stay in view: it reads public pages only, so a login-gated checkout is not scored; it publishes no repeat-scan data; and the product that fixes what a scan finds is behind a waitlist. To place your own result, [scan your site with Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=featured) and read it against [how competitors in your sector score](https://amireadyforagents.com/how-competitors-in-your-sector-score). ## How to use them together 1. Run Ora on your domain and keep the graded score and the first three fixes; that is the page for the board. 2. Run Cloudflare's scanner the same day for a second reading, and note where the two disagree before anyone starts work. 3. Hand the fix list to the web team or the agency with the AgentReady identifiers, and ask for a date. 4.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/blog Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-15 # 360 checks: the largest companies on Ora's scan ## In short 66 of the world's largest companies, each read once on Ora's agent-readiness scan and written up for a business leader: the score, what an assistant meets at the door, what it can read and do, the three fixes to hand to the web team and the editors' read. One company is added each day, newest first. ## How to read a check Each page takes one company and reads Ora's public result for its main domain on the day the check is published: the score out of 100 and the grade, the four layers, what an assistant meets at the door, what it can read and do, and the three open checks Ora values most. The editors then write their own read, and every page ends with the scan to run on your own domain. The companies are the largest in the world by revenue, taken in no particular order within the series. A score is one read on one day; Ora rescans, and a company that fixes its door can look different a month later. ## November 2026 - [Oracle: 22 of 100, grade F](https://amireadyforagents.com/blog/oracle-agent-readiness)15 Nov 2026.

Thirty characters of home page, an HTML robots.txt, and nothing for an agent to call. ## The score Alibaba Group is an ecommerce and cloud group based in Hangzhou. - 29of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of alibabagroup.com, read 10 November 2026. - 7Discovery, of 12 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 9Access, of 47 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 7Usability, of 32 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Serves agents almost nothing: the homepage is empty without JavaScript, with no public API, no OpenAPI spec and no structured data. ## 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 | Partial, 1 of 2 | robots.txt answered an HTML page instead of rules.

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. 1. Public API with reachable endpoints, worth about 9.7 points by Ora's estimate: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). 2. WebMCP support, worth about 6.9 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found. 3. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 5.6 points by Ora's estimate: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs. ## Our read Alibaba Group's corporate site hands an agent 30 characters. The home page is rendered by JavaScript, 100 percent script with almost no text; robots.txt answers with an HTML page instead of rules, so the crawler policy is not stated; the .well-known/llms.txt is an HTML page too; and unknown paths return 200 with the app shell, so an agent probing for files concludes every one exists. The door is open, all four test agents reached the site, which only means they arrived at an empty room. There is no sitemap and no JSON-LD, 1 of 4 metadata signals, and the act layer is bare: neither an API nor an OpenAPI specification, no OAuth, an MCP mentioned without a manifest, and a search for the group's API docs found none of the 10 results official. The brand search ran on the string alibabagroup, the probe's own reading. A D at 29 where the fix worth most, a public API at about 10 points, would sit behind a page that says nothing. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Two things did answer: an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at abc.xyz, and an llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt that returns an HTML page. The Discovery layer reads 0 of 12 because the probe searched for abc, found six results without the domain and no Wikipedia article for that string, which describes the probe more than the parent of Google.

MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.6 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.2 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. OAuth 2.0 support, worth about 3.8 points by Ora's estimate: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected. ## Our read Apple opens the door and keeps the workshop shut. All four agent user agents reach apple.com, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers in every check, five of five sampled pages read with substantive text and the home page carries an H1 and a complete set of metadata, though its 1,748 characters are a 1.8 percent text ratio against the 5 percent target; the Organization block lacks only its description, and there is no llms.txt. The Discovery layer is nearly full at 14 of 15. The act layer is where the company that makes the iPhone earns a C: developer.apple.com is a real portal and documentation site and an SDK sits on npm, but Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no OAuth or OpenID Connect discovery, so the Usability layer reads 18 of 58. Sign in with Apple exists for people; the scan found nothing an agent could use. An MCP server is the fix Ora values most, at about 4.6 points. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt came back as a 403 challenge and the home page as a security page, so the door, content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 12 of 50 with only one of four metadata signals in view. The act layer is better than the door suggests: developer.att.com is a real portal with documentation, and OpenID Connect discovery sits at auth.att.com; the API it describes has no machine-verifiable surface, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no SDK in any registry, so the Usability layer reads 17 of 58.

Probed: berkshirehathaway.com, api.berkshirehathaway.com. ## Our read Berkshire Hathaway's site is a list of links, and the scan reads it as exactly that. There is no robots.txt at all, which Ora scores as permission by default, 12 of 12 and 18 of 18; the bot test was challenged for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and ChatGPT-User, so the door row is unverified rather than failed. The page gives 1,248 characters without an H1 and carries none of the four metadata signals, neither JSON-LD nor a sitemap, and no llms.txt, so the Access layer reads 7 of 37. The act layer does not exist, and the Usability layer has a maximum of 12; the WebMCP estimate of 18.5 points is large only because so few checks apply. The domain appears once, in fourth place, in a search for the company's own name, with the Wikidata item confirmed and no Wikipedia article matched. A page an agent can read is not yet a page that tells it what it is reading; an H1 and an Organization block would. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

All four agent user agents reach boeing.com, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap lists 1,945 pages and the home page gives 5,685 characters with an H1, though the heading tree jumps from H1 to H3 and the text ratio is 3.5 percent against the 5 percent target; the Organization block lacks its description, the metadata lacks og:image, and there is no llms.txt, so the Access layer reads 20 of 36. The act layer is thin by nature for a planemaker, which is why the Usability layer has a maximum of 21 and the WebMCP estimate of 10.6 points means less than it looks; OpenID Connect discovery at auth.boeing.com is the one surface Ora found. The odd row is Discovery: boeing.com was not in the top ten for boeing, and the Wikipedia match landed on the 777 rather than the company.

The grade is earned on the act layer: a GraphQL endpoint at api.cencora.com answers and gates introspection behind a key, which is normal, but there is neither a documentation page nor a developer portal, no OpenAPI specification, and no MCP server or OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 18 of 64. The domain ranks ninth for its own corporate name, and a search for its API documentation returned none of its pages in ten results.

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 6 AI agent user-agents | | Agent crawler reachability | Pass, 2 of 2 | Reachable to all major AI crawlers - ChatGPT-User: reachable, ClaudeBot: reachable, Google-Extended: reachable, ora-agent: reachable, DeepSeekBot: reachable | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Pass, 1 of 2 | robots.txt allows all crawlers (e.g. User-agent: * + Allow: /) - open by default but declares no AI-crawler tier differentiation | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | No robots.txt restriction on user-triggered agents - they can read the site | | Content without JavaScript | Pass, 2 of 3 | 2861 chars with H1 but flat heading structure | ## 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.

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. 1. MCP server / manifest, worth about 5.4 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. Scoped permissions, worth about 4.5 points by Ora's estimate: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found. 3. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.1 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. ## Our read Centene's site is open to six AI agent user agents, with a robots.txt that allows every crawler and states no tier for the AI ones, and a home page that gives 2,861 characters under an H1 in a flat heading structure; the sitemap lists 212 pages and the metadata is complete, but there is no JSON-LD and no llms.txt, so the Access layer reads 28 of 57. The act layer is half built, which for a Medicaid insurer is half more than most: developer.centene.com is a real portal with documentation and OpenID Connect discovery sits at sso.centene.com, though the API it describes has no machine-verifiable surface and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes, so the Usability layer reads 22 of 49. The domain appears once, in fourth place, in a search for Centene Corporation, while Wikipedia and Wikidata both confirm it. An MCP server is the fix Ora values most, at about 5.4 points; an Organization block is the cheaper one. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

There is no sitemap and no llms.txt. What Ora could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at chevron.com/graphql with introspection gated behind authentication, and a CLI package on npm named chevron, which may or may not be the oil company's; there is no developer portal, no OpenAPI specification and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 11 of 47.

All four agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, five of five sampled pages read and the sitemap lists 112 pages; the home page gives 2,673 characters with an H1 at a 4 percent text ratio and a heading tree that skips from H1 to H3, there is no JSON-LD and no llms.txt, and the metadata carries two of four signals, so the Access layer reads 18 of 38. The act layer is empty, as for most insurers' corporate sites, so the Usability layer has a maximum of 17 and the WebMCP estimate of 13.1 points means little. The Discovery layer is 8 of 9, with no Wikidata item pointing at the domain.

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 | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot.

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. 1. MCP server / manifest, worth about 7.9 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 7 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. WebMCP support, worth about 6.3 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found. ## Our read Cisco's read turns on its own firewall. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the home page, and robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge, so Ora could not even read the policy; the rows for content, indexing and markdown behind that wall are unverified rather than failed. A challenge is an identity check that verified crawlers can pass, which makes this a setting to tune more than a wall to tear down. Past the door, the developer story is better than the score suggests: a search for Cisco's API docs put developer.cisco.com first, and an NLWeb /ask endpoint exists, though it answers 403 without authentication. What agents cannot find is anything machine-readable to act on. Ora saw neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and the site shows no sitemap, llms.txt or JSON-LD. The fix worth most is an MCP server, about 7.9 points. A D at 32: the networking company's own network is what keeps the agents out. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

The Discovery layer is nearly full at 10 of 11: Wikipedia confirms the company and the domain sits second in a clean search for Citi, though no Wikidata item points at it. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at citigroup.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: no developer portal, no OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 15 of 60. A bank present in most of the world's markets tells an agent 854 characters; the template is the cheap fix, an OpenAPI specification the one worth most. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

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. 1. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 5.6 points by Ora's estimate: Agent searched for "costco" developer resources but found nothing relevant. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.8 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. MCP server / manifest, worth about 3.8 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. ## Our read Costco opens the door and gives an agent 414 characters. All four agent user agents get in and robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, but the home page renders 414 characters of text without JavaScript, there is no JSON-LD and no llms.txt, and the metadata carries two of four signals, so the Access layer reads 14 of 49; the sitemap index is the one reading row in order. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at ecom-api.costco.com that answers, with OAuth mentioned and no standard endpoints, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 23 of 70. The six payment checks did not apply on this read: Ora did not read the warehouse club as a shop. The domain ranks first for costco, Wikidata confirms it, and a search for its developer resources found nothing. A membership retailer whose members increasingly send assistants to compare prices shows those assistants a near-empty page; the template is the fix. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

The act layer is a portal with the machine half missing: developer.cvshealth.com documents an API and describes scopes in prose, but Ora found no machine-verifiable surface and neither an OpenAPI specification nor OAuth discovery, and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 23 of 63.

The act layer is a portal, developer.dell.com, with an SDK on npm, an MCP mention Ora could not resolve into a server, OAuth mentioned without standard endpoints and no declared scopes, so the Usability layer reads 25 of 45. One row is worth fixing on its own: nonexistent paths return 200 with the app shell, a soft 404 that tells a probing agent every file exists.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # The Walt Disney Company: 60 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short The Walt Disney Company scores 60 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade C, read on 9 November 2026. 79 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 60, and the average score is 44. A corporate site every agent can read, ranked ninth for its own name. ## The score The Walt Disney Company is an entertainment group based in Burbank, California. - 60of 100, grade C Ora's agent-readiness scan of thewaltdisneycompany.com, read 9 November 2026. - 8Discovery, of 11 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 23Access, of 38 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 7Usability, of 13 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 79 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 60, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Strong Wikipedia/Wikidata presence and crawler policy, but no WebMCP support and no 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).

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. 1. WebMCP support, worth about 17.1 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 39 of 39 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations). 2. Brand name discoverability, worth about 4 points by Ora's estimate: thewaltdisneycompany.com ranks #9 for "The Walt Disney Company" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified). 3. Agent auth discovery metadata, worth about 3.8 points by Ora's estimate: Neither /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server found. Probed: thewaltdisneycompany.com, api.thewaltdisneycompany.com. ## Our read The Walt Disney Company's corporate site opens to every agent and reads well, on a short denominator. All four agent user agents reach thewaltdisneycompany.com, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers in 30 of 30 checks across six pages, the home page gives 4,356 characters without an H1, five of five sampled pages read, the sitemap index is valid, the metadata is complete and the Organization block lacks only its description; there is no llms.txt. The Access layer reads 23 of 38. The act layer is empty, as a corporate holding site's would be, so the Usability layer has a maximum of 13 and the WebMCP estimate of 17.1 points means little. The Discovery layer is 8 of 11: Wikipedia and Wikidata confirm the company, and the domain ranks ninth for The Walt Disney Company, behind the brand sites. An H1 on the home page is the cheapest row on this page; a sameAs link would tell the search which Disney this domain is. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

There is no llms.txt, and the canonical tag names an Adobe staging host rather than the site, which is what the brand search then ran on. The Access layer reads 31 of 49. The act layer is a portal at /developers that the home page does not link to, with no publicly reachable API, neither an OpenAPI specification nor OAuth discovery, and an MCP probe answered by a bot shield, so the Usability layer reads 8 of 24.

All four agent user agents reach exxonmobil.com, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap index is valid and the metadata is complete, and the home page gives 2,343 characters with an H1 whose heading tree skips from H2 to H4; the JSON-LD block carries no identity type, and a bot shield answered the llms.txt and markdown probes with 403, which Ora does not count against the site. The Access layer reads 32 of 40. The act layer is what lifts an oil company above most banks and retailers here: an MCP server at support.exxonmobil.com/mcp that answers and requires authentication, OAuth authorization server metadata beside it, and developer.exxonmobil.com with documentation, though the API has no machine-verifiable surface and Ora found no declared scopes, no SDK and no CLI, so the Usability layer reads 34 of 52. Declared OAuth scopes are the fix Ora values most, about 4.3 points; the server they would describe is already running. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot protection blocks them and the homepage shows no content without JavaScript. ## What an assistant meets at the door Before an assistant can read, compare or buy, it has to get in.

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. 1. MCP server / manifest, worth about 6.1 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. OAuth 2.0 support, worth about 5.1 points by Ora's estimate: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected. 3. Scoped permissions, worth about 5.1 points by Ora's estimate: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found. ## Our read Fannie Mae's door is a challenge and its reading layer is behind it. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot and the home page came back as a security page, so the content, structured-data and metadata rows are unverified rather than failed; robots.txt itself did answer, and allows the search and training crawlers in every check. There is no sitemap and no llms.txt, and the Access layer reads 12 of 49. The act layer is a portal and little else: developer.fanniemae.com documents an API with no machine-verifiable surface, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 3 of 44, the lowest Usability score in this series. The domain ranks seventh for fanniemae, a search run on the bare name, and the API documentation came up ninth. A mortgage company whose data half the market depends on has a developer portal no agent can reach from the front; the shield is the first row. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the door, content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 11 of 51; there is no sitemap and no llms.txt. The Discovery layer is the strong one at 10 of 12: ford.com ranks third for ford, Wikipedia and Wikidata confirm the company, though the article matched is the one for the F-Series, and the API documentation came up sixth. The act layer is developer.ford.com, a portal whose API content Ora found unclear, beside a GraphQL endpoint at ford.com/graphql that answers; there is no OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 7 of 58. A carmaker that lets drivers talk to their cars has a site that will not talk to an assistant; the challenge is the row to fix. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # Foxconn: 31 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short Foxconn scores 31 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade D, read on 9 November 2026. 25 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 30, and the average score is 44. Zero characters without JavaScript, a sitemap that will not parse, an llms.txt in HTML. ## The score Foxconn is a contract electronics manufacturer based in Taiwan, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry. - 31of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of foxconn.com, read 9 November 2026. - 7Discovery, of 13 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 9Access, of 54 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 15Usability, of 48 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 25 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 30, and the average score is 44. ## 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 3 of 3 checks (3 crawlers on 1 page).

No inner pages checked: the scan found none to sample. | | 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 | Partial, 0 of 1 | A file is present at https://foxconn.com/llms.txt, but it returns an HTML page rather than a plain-text llms.txt. | | llms.txt formatting | Fail, 0 of 2 | No llms.txt found to evaluate quality | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation. Homepage returned text/html when probed with Accept: text/markdown (expected text/markdown), and none of the well-known root paths (/llms.md, /auth.md, /agents.md, /developers.md). | | 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 | Fail, 0 of 4 | No JSON-LD structured data found on homepage | | Organization schema completeness | Fail, 0 of 2 | No JSON-LD found - Organization schema missing | | Sitemap exists | Partial, 1 of 2 | Sitemap found at /sitemap.xml but XML parsing failed | | Metadata completeness | Fail, 0 of 2 | No metadata signals found - missing: canonical URL, HTML lang attribute, og:image, og:type | | Page token budget | Pass, 1 of 1 | All 1 measured page fit an agent context budget (largest ~1K tokens) | | Check | Result | What Ora saw | | --- | --- | --- | | MCP server / manifest | Fail, 0 of 6 | No MCP server or manifest found | | MCP well-known discovery | Fail, 0 of 2 | No MCP server URL discovered | | Public API with reachable endpoints | Fail, 0 of 7 | No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated) | | Public API/docs linked from homepage | Fail, 0 of 3 | No public API or documentation page linked from homepage | | OpenAPI spec published | Fail, 0 of 7 | No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found | | Developer portal | Fail, 0 of 6 | No developer portal found | | OAuth 2.0 support | Pass, 5 of 5 | OpenID Connect discovery endpoint found at https://sso.foxconn.com | | Scoped permissions | Fail, 0 of 5 | No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found | | Multi-language SDK packages | Fail, 0 of 3 | No SDK packages found across language ecosystems | | CLI tool available | Fail, 0 of 3 | No CLI tool found | | WebMCP support | Fail, 0 of 5 | No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found | | Check | Result | What Ora saw | | --- | --- | --- | | Wikipedia / Wikidata entity presence | Partial, 2 of 4 | Wikidata Q463094 (Q463094) verified - draft a Wikipedia page with cited references to complete knowledge graph coverage | | Brand name discoverability | Partial, 2 of 3 | foxconn.com ranks #6 for "foxconn" and appears 3 times in the top 10 | | Category share of voice | Did not apply, 0 of 6 | Category share of voice is in beta.

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. 1. Public API with reachable endpoints, worth about 6.5 points by Ora's estimate: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). 2. MCP server / manifest, worth about 5.6 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 3. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 5.1 points by Ora's estimate: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs. ## Our read Foxconn's home page gives an agent nothing to read: zero characters of text without JavaScript, although nothing in the page shows it needs JavaScript to render. The door is open, with all four agent user agents reaching foxconn.com and robots.txt allowing the search and training crawlers, but there is no JSON-LD, the metadata carries none of its four signals, the sitemap at /sitemap.xml fails to parse and the llms.txt at foxconn.com/llms.txt returns an HTML page, so the Access layer reads 9 of 54. The act layer is one surface, OpenID Connect discovery at sso.foxconn.com, with neither a public API nor a developer portal, and no OpenAPI specification or MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 15 of 48. The domain ranks sixth for foxconn and appears three times in the top ten, and the Wikidata item is confirmed without a Wikipedia match. The company that assembles the world's phones has a site those phones' assistants cannot read; the template is where the D moves. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Content without JavaScript, worth about 5.3 points by Ora's estimate: Homepage: 5249 chars of readable text, but no H1 tag. 5 of 5 sampled inner pages have text without JavaScript. 3. Product + docs MCP coverage, worth about 4.4 points by Ora's estimate: This bonus needs two MCP servers: one for your product so agents can take actions, and a separate one for your documentation so agents can answer questions from your docs. ## Our read Glencore's site reads well to an agent and gives it nothing to do. The door is open: all four test agents reached the home page and robots.txt allows the AI search crawlers in 3 of 3 checks. The reading is mostly in order: a sitemap of 733 entries, every metadata signal present and text without JavaScript on all 5 sampled inner pages, though the home page carries 5,249 characters and no H1, and without JSON-LD no Organization block says who the company is. Discovery reads 9 of 10. The D comes from the act layer: Usability reads 1 of 10, with neither a public API nor an OpenAPI file, and a bot shield answered the MCP, OAuth and llms.txt probes, so those rows are unverified rather than failed. The API docs link Ora found is a PDF of the 2025 Modern Slavery Statement, which describes the probe more than the company. A D at 41; WebMCP alone is worth about 17.8 points, more than the act layer scores today. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # Goldman Sachs: 26 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short Goldman Sachs scores 26 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade F, read on 9 November 2026. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Six agents blocked in front of a page the reading checks mostly pass. ## The score Goldman Sachs is an investment bank based in New York. - 26of 100, grade F Ora's agent-readiness scan of goldmansachs.com, read 9 November 2026. - 3Discovery, of 12 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 17Access, of 50 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 9Usability, of 44 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Goldman Sachs provides a sitemap, but lacks a published OpenAPI specification. ## 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 | Fail, 0 of 2 | Agents blocked: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended | | Agent crawler reachability | Partial, 0 of 2 | Some AI crawlers are blocked - ChatGPT-User: blocked, ClaudeBot: blocked, Google-Extended: blocked, ora-agent: reachable, DeepSeekBot: blocked | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Partial, 0 of 2 | AI crawlers mentioned (gptbot) but no explicit Allow directives | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | User-triggered agents explicitly allowed (chatgpt-user) | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 1 of 3 | Only 4894 chars of text content, no H1 tag - agents see limited content | ## 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 | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

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. 1. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 7.4 points by Ora's estimate: Agent found 2 pages by name but no recognizable developer-resource type. Not found via search: API docs, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, auth docs, MCP server. 2. Public API with reachable endpoints, worth about 7.1 points by Ora's estimate: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). 3. MCP server / manifest, worth about 6.1 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. ## Our read Goldman Sachs blocks the agents and publishes a well-made page none of them will see. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended were blocked at the door, while robots.txt names gptbot without an explicit allow and permits chatgpt-user, a mixed message. Behind the block the reading layer is in order: the home page gives 4,894 characters, though without an H1, the Organization block is complete, the sitemap index is valid and the metadata carries all four signals, so the Access layer still reads 17 of 50; there is no llms.txt. The act layer is empty, with no public API, no developer portal and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 9 of 44. The Discovery layer is 3 of 12: the domain appears once, fourth of six, in a search for its own name, and the Wikipedia check could not be verified. An investment bank that blocks the assistants its clients now use has made a choice; the F records it. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

ChatGPT-User and OAI-SearchBot were blocked while Claude-User and PerplexityBot reached the home page, and robots.txt disallows all three AI search crawlers and restricts all three user-triggered agents, so the two that got in did so against the stated rule. The home page gives 1,142 characters without an H1, the scan found no inner page to sample, the sitemap lists one entry, the Organization block has contact and address but no name, description or URL, and there is no llms.txt, so the Access layer reads 14 of 46. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at hcahealthcare.com/api/graphql with introspection gated, and no portal, specification, MCP server or OAuth discovery around it, so the Usability layer reads 15 of 61. Wikipedia and Wikidata confirm the company, and the domain ranks fourth for its own name.

The Discovery layer is the one row in order at 7 of 11, with Wikipedia and Wikidata confirmed and hitachi.com fifth for hitachi. A conglomerate that sells industrial software has a site the scan could not read and no surface it could call; the first fix is a home page that answers. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # The Home Depot: 24 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short The Home Depot scores 24 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade F, read on 9 November 2026. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Six agents challenged, with sign-in and an API endpoint waiting behind the wall. ## The score The Home Depot is a home improvement retailer based in Atlanta. - 24of 100, grade F Ora's agent-readiness scan of homedepot.com, read 9 November 2026, listed under E-commerce. - 5Discovery, of 8 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 0Access, of 50 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 13Usability, of 58 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Home Depot offers OAuth 2.0 support, but lacks an OpenAPI specification. ## 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 | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended. A challenge is an identity check that verified crawlers pass. | | Agent crawler reachability | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ora-agent, DeepSeekBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass. | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for training and search crawlers: WAF/bot challenge (HTTP 403) | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for user-triggered agents: WAF/bot challenge (HTTP 403) | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 0 of 3 | Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents | ## 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 | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

Not found in this search sample: API docs, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, auth docs, MCP server, SDK documentation | 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. 1. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 5.6 points by Ora's estimate: Agent found 2 pages by name but no recognizable developer-resource type. Not found in this search sample: API docs, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, auth docs, MCP server, SDK documentation. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.7 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.6 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. ## Our read The Home Depot challenges six agents and leaves sign-in and an endpoint standing behind them. Bot management challenged GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the door, content, policy, structured-data and metadata rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 0 of 50; there is no sitemap and no llms.txt. The act layer has two real surfaces: a GraphQL endpoint at api.homedepot.com with introspection gated, and OpenID Connect discovery at identity.homedepot.com, with an SDK on npm beside them; there is no developer portal, no OpenAPI specification and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 13 of 58. The Discovery layer is 5 of 8: homedepot.com ranks first for homedepot, a search run on the bare name, and no Wikipedia article or Wikidata item points at the domain. A retailer whose customers ask assistants which drill to buy has a store they cannot open; the challenge decides the grade. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Partial credit: no Markdown error body was detected. ## Our read Honda's global site scores 66 on a short denominator. All four agent user agents reach global.honda and the crawlers are allowed, though there is no robots.txt file at all, so permission is the default rather than a decision; the home page gives 1,259 characters with an H1, the metadata is complete and the Organization block lacks only its description, but there is no sitemap and no llms.txt, and the five sampled inner pages were skipped as forms and login pages, so the Access layer reads 19 of 37. The act layer is empty, as for most carmakers here, which is why the Usability layer has a maximum of 17 and the WebMCP estimate of 13.1 points is large only because so few checks apply. The Discovery layer is nearly full at 8 of 9.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # Hyundai Motor: 44 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short Hyundai Motor scores 44 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade D, read on 9 November 2026. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. An MCP manifest that answers in invalid JSON, on a site the search engines miss. ## The score Hyundai Motor is a carmaker based in Seoul. - 44of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of hyundai.com, read 9 November 2026. - 5Discovery, of 20 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 30Access, of 60 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 21Usability, of 44 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Hyundai provides a developer documentation site, but lacks a discoverable OpenAPI specification. ## 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 6 AI agent user-agents | | Agent crawler reachability | Pass, 2 of 2 | Reachable to all major AI crawlers - ChatGPT-User: reachable, ClaudeBot: reachable, Google-Extended: reachable, ora-agent: reachable, DeepSeekBot: reachable | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Pass, 1 of 2 | AI crawlers explicitly allowed (gptbot, oai-searchbot, claudebot, claude-searchbot, perplexitybot, google-extended) - consider blocking training-only crawlers (CCBot, ByteSpider) to earn full credit | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | User-triggered agents explicitly allowed (chatgpt-user, claude-user) | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 1 of 3 | Only 245 chars of text content, no H1 tag - agents see limited content | ## 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 | Pass, 1 of 1 | Found the llms.txt at https://developers.hyundai.com/llms.txt. | | llms.txt formatting | Pass, 2 of 2 | The llms.txt is well-formatted: 9 lines with markdown links, 285 characters in total. | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

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. 1. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 6.7 points by Ora's estimate: Agent searched for "hyundai" developer resources but found nothing relevant. 2. JSON error responses, worth about 4 points by Ora's estimate: API does not return JSON error responses (or no API detected). 3. MCP Apps support, worth about 4 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render. ## Our read Hyundai Motor has built more for agents than most carmakers and tells the search engines less. Six AI agent user agents reach hyundai.com, robots.txt explicitly allows GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot and names chatgpt-user and claude-user as permitted, an llms.txt sits at developers.hyundai.com, the sitemap index is valid, and developers.hyundai.com is a real portal with OpenID Connect discovery beside it; there is even an MCP manifest at /.well-known/mcp/manifest.json, which answers with something that is not valid JSON, so Ora scores it 2 of 6. Against that, the home page renders 245 characters without an H1, there is no JSON-LD, the API content is unclear and there is no OpenAPI specification, so the Access layer reads 30 of 60 and the Usability layer 21 of 44. The Discovery layer is 5 of 20: a search for Hyundai USA returned seven results without the domain, and a search for its developer resources found nothing. Fix the manifest's JSON and the carmaker has the first working MCP endpoint in this series. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

What Ora could reach on the act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at ibm.com/graphql with introspection gated, and SDK packages on npm and RubyGems, with no developer portal found from the home page, no OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 14 of 60. The Discovery layer is 9 of 12: Wikipedia and Wikidata confirm the company, though the article matched is the one for IBM Z, and ibm.com ranks eighth for ibm, a search run on the bare name.

It challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the home page and answered the robots.txt request with a 403, so an assistant sent to look at Intel meets an identity check before it meets a product. Access reads 1 of 40. Because the home page never loaded, the structured data, metadata, indexing directives and documentation links are unverified rather than failed; what Ora could confirm is that there is neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. Search does better than the site: a query for the API docs put Intel's oneAPI documentation at #2. On the act side, Usability reads 3 of 48, with neither an MCP server nor a public API, and no OpenAPI specification or OAuth support for an agent to work through. The fix worth most is an MCP server, about 9.3 points, though the first decision is about that challenge.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # Johnson & Johnson: 16 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short Johnson & Johnson scores 16 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade F, read on 9 November 2026. 2 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 10, and the average score is 44. A challenge at the door and a three-letter domain the knowledge graph cannot place. ## The score Johnson & Johnson is a pharmaceutical and medical device company based in New Brunswick, New Jersey. - 16of 100, grade F Ora's agent-readiness scan of jnj.com, read 9 November 2026. - 0Discovery, of 7 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 0Access, of 41 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 12Usability, of 33 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 2 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 10, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: jnj.com offers OAuth 2.0 support, but lacks an OpenAPI specification. ## 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 | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Applebot-Extended. A challenge is an identity check that verified crawlers pass. | | Agent crawler reachability | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass, so reachability is undetermined rather than blocked (ChatGPT-User: challenged, ClaudeBot: challenged). | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for training and search crawlers: WAF/bot challenge (HTTP 403) | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for user-triggered agents: WAF/bot challenge (HTTP 403) | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 0 of 3 | Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents | ## 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 | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

It measures whether agents surface you for capability and use-case searches (not just your name). | | Developer resource discoverability | Fail, 0 of 3 | Agent searched for "jnj" developer resources but found nothing relevant | 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. 1. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 9.5 points by Ora's estimate: Agent searched for "jnj" developer resources but found nothing relevant. 2. Brand name discoverability, worth about 9.5 points by Ora's estimate: "jnj" search returned 10 results but domain did not appear - brand may be too generic or not indexed. 3. MCP server / manifest, worth about 8.1 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. ## Our read Johnson & Johnson's 16 is two problems stacked. The first is the door: bot management challenged GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot and Applebot-Extended, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the door, content, policy, structured-data and metadata rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 0 of 41; there is no sitemap and no llms.txt. The second is the name: the domain is jnj.com, so the probe searched for jnj, found ten results without the domain and no Wikipedia article or Wikidata item for that string, and the Discovery layer reads 0 of 7, which describes the domain more than the company. The act layer has one real surface, OpenID Connect discovery at login.jnj.com, beside a GraphQL endpoint with introspection gated, and no developer portal, OpenAPI specification or MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 12 of 33. A sameAs link from an Organization block would fix the second problem; only the shield can fix the first. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

The act layer is partly built: documentation sits at /api without a link from the home page, OpenID Connect discovery answers at identity.jpmorganchase.com and an SDK sits on npm, but there is no publicly reachable API, no developer portal, and neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 16 of 50.

Two JSON files that will not parse, one of them an MCP manifest. ## The score Lockheed Martin is a defence and aerospace manufacturer based in Bethesda, Maryland. - 40of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of lockheedmartin.com, read 9 November 2026. - 3Discovery, of 10 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 29Access, of 59 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 22Usability, of 57 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. ## 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 | Partial, 1 of 2 | Some agents blocked: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User | | Agent crawler reachability | Partial, 0 of 2 | Some AI crawlers are blocked - ChatGPT-User: blocked, ClaudeBot: reachable, Google-Extended: reachable, ora-agent: reachable, DeepSeekBot: reachable | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Partial, 1 of 2 | robots.txt allows all crawlers (e.g. User-agent: * + Allow: /) - open by default but declares no AI-crawler tier differentiation | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | No robots.txt restriction on user-triggered agents - they can read the site | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 2 of 3 | 1549 chars with H1, but 4.0% content ratio is below the 5% target | ## 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.

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. 1. Public API with reachable endpoints, worth about 5.5 points by Ora's estimate: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). 2. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 4.4 points by Ora's estimate: Agent struggled to find developer resources by name - only 1 result(s) out of 9. Not found in this search sample: API docs, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, auth docs, MCP server, SDK documentation. 3. Brand name discoverability, worth about 4.4 points by Ora's estimate: lockheedmartin.com appears once in brand-name search results for "Lockheed Martin" (position #6 out of 6). ## Our read Lockheed Martin has built more of the act layer than its D shows. ClaudeBot and Google-Extended get in while GPTBot and ChatGPT-User are blocked, robots.txt allows every crawler, the home page gives 1,549 characters with an H1 at a 4 percent text ratio, the sitemap lists 2,075 pages and the metadata is complete, so the Access layer reads 29 of 59; the JSON-LD blocks contain invalid JSON, and the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page. Behind that sit a portal at /console, documentation at /api, OpenID Connect discovery, and an MCP manifest at /.well-known/mcp/manifest.json that answers in something other than valid JSON; there is no reachable public API and no OpenAPI specification, so the Usability layer reads 22 of 57. The Discovery layer is 3 of 10: the domain appears once, last of six, in a search for its own name, and no Wikipedia article or Wikidata item points at it. Two broken JSON files, the structured data and the MCP manifest, are the cheapest points on this page. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the door, content, policy, structured-data and metadata rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 1 of 48; there is no sitemap and no llms.txt. What Ora could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at marathonpetroleum.com/graphql with introspection gated, and a search that placed api.developer.marathonpetroleum.com tenth for the API documentation, a host the scan did not find from the site; there is no OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 12 of 58. The Discovery layer is 8 of 10, with the Wikidata item confirmed and the domain fifth for its own name. A refiner has little reason to serve agents and every reason not to serve them a 403; the challenge is the row that moves this D. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Six AI agent user agents reach mckesson.com, robots.txt permits every training and search pair Ora checked, the home page gives 2,281 characters at an 8.6 percent text ratio under a proper heading tree, and the sitemap lists 1,009 pages, so the Access layer reads 16 of 39; there is no JSON-LD and no llms.txt, and the metadata lacks og:type. The act layer is thin by nature for a distributor, which is why the Usability layer has a maximum of 24 and the WebMCP estimate of 9.3 points means less than it looks; OpenID Connect discovery at auth.mckesson.com is the one surface Ora found, with no public API, no developer portal and no MCP server.

The maker of Muse shows an agent 296 characters of its own home page. ## The score Meta is the parent of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and the maker of the Muse agent, based in Menlo Park. - 51of 100, grade C Ora's agent-readiness scan of meta.com, read 9 November 2026, listed under Identity & Auth. - 10Discovery, of 13 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 32Access, of 56 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 19Usability, of 55 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 60 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 50, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Meta offers strong developer documentation discoverability and llms.txt support, but lacks an OpenAPI specification and MCP server for agent integration. ## 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 3 agent user-agents (ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User). Can't verify PerplexityBot. Your site also blocked a normal browser visit, so we can't tell if agents get in. | | Agent crawler reachability | Pass, 2 of 2 | Reachable to ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User. Your site also blocked a normal browser visit, so we can't tell if agents get in. | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | AI search crawlers: allowed in 3 of 3 checks (3 crawlers on 1 page).

Declared policy only; | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 1 of 3 | Homepage: Only 296 chars of text content - agents see limited content. Sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript (1 of 4): https://www.meta.com/quest/ (103 chars). | | 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 | Pass, 1 of 1 | Found the llms.txt at https://developers.meta.com/llms.txt. | | llms.txt formatting | Pass, 2 of 2 | The llms.txt is well-formatted: 19 lines with markdown links, 1,724 characters in total. | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation. Homepage returned text/html when probed with Accept: text/markdown (expected text/markdown), and none of the well-known root paths (/llms.md, /auth.md, /agents.md, /developers.md). | | 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 on this entity | | Organization schema completeness | Partial, 1 of 2 | Organization schema found but missing: contactPoint, address | | Sitemap exists | Fail, 0 of 2 | No sitemap found | | Metadata completeness | Pass, 2 of 2 | All metadata signals present: canonical URL, lang="en", og:image, og:type | | Page token budget | Pass, 1 of 1 | All 6 measured pages fit an agent context budget (largest ~1K tokens) | | Check | Result | What Ora saw | | --- | --- | --- | | MCP server / manifest | Fail, 0 of 6 | No MCP server or manifest found | | MCP well-known discovery | Fail, 0 of 2 | No MCP server URL discovered | | Public API with reachable endpoints | Partial, 3 of 7 | API described in documentation at https://developers.meta.com but no machine-verifiable API surface confirmed. Best-of-protocols score: 3/7. | | Public API/docs linked from homepage | Pass, 3 of 3 | Documentation site found at https://developers.meta.com | | OpenAPI spec published | Fail, 0 of 7 | No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found | | Developer portal | Pass, 6 of 6 | Developer portal found at https://developers.meta.com | | OAuth 2.0 support | Pass, 5 of 5 | OpenID Connect discovery endpoint found at https://auth.meta.com | | Scoped permissions | Fail, 0 of 5 | No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found | | Multi-language SDK packages | Fail, 0 of 3 | No SDK packages found across language ecosystems | | CLI tool available | Fail, 0 of 3 | No CLI tool found | | WebMCP support | Fail, 0 of 5 | No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found | | Check | Result | What Ora saw | | --- | --- | --- | | Wikipedia / Wikidata entity presence | Partial, 2 of 4 | Wikidata Q380 (Meta Platforms) verified - draft a Wikipedia page with cited references to complete knowledge graph coverage | | Brand name discoverability | Partial, 2 of 3 | meta.com ranks #6 for "Meta" and appears 3 times in the top 10 (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified) | | 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 | Pass, 3 of 3 | In a search for your API docs, your docs came up at #9 (https://developers.meta.com). In a search for your MCP server, SDK or CLI, we found your CLI at #3 (https://developers.meta.com/vr/essentials/metavr-install) | 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. 1. MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.8 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.2 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. Scoped permissions, worth about 4 points by Ora's estimate: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found. ## Our read Meta built the Muse agent and a home page that shows an agent 296 characters. ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot and Claude-User reach meta.com while PerplexityBot could not be verified; robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the metadata is complete, the Organization block lacks only its description and an llms.txt sits at developers.meta.com, but there is no sitemap, and three of four sampled pages had almost no text without JavaScript, so the Access layer reads 32 of 56. The act layer is a developer portal with the machine half missing: developers.meta.com documents an API with no machine-verifiable surface, OpenID Connect discovery answers at auth.meta.com, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes, so the Usability layer reads 19 of 55. The domain ranks sixth for Meta and appears three times in the top ten. The company shipping an agent with its own browser has a site that browser would struggle to read; the template is the row to fix. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

A clean door, a 0.8 percent home page, and one fix worth 14 points. ## The score NTT is a telecommunications group based in Tokyo. - 68of 100, grade C Ora's agent-readiness scan of group.ntt, read 10 November 2026. - 8Discovery, of 9 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 23Access, of 38 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 10Usability, of 16 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 79 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 60, and the average score is 44. 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).

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. 1. 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). 2. 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. 3. 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. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Ora's own request for the home page got no page back, which leaves content, structured data and metadata unverified rather than failed. For a business leader, the cost is visibility: an assistant asked about Oracle cannot read the company's own account of itself. A GraphQL endpoint answers behind authentication, an NLWeb /ask endpoint answers 403, and a search for the API docs found docs.oracle.com second; Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server. The brand search ranked oracle.com tenth for the bare word oracle, which says more about the probe than the company. The fix worth most is an OpenAPI specification, about 7.6 points.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # PepsiCo: 44 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short PepsiCo scores 44 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade D, read on 9 November 2026. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. A door that opens onto 510 characters and a developer portal that is a PDF. ## The score PepsiCo is a food and beverage company based in New York, the maker of Pepsi, Lay's and Quaker. - 44of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of pepsico.com, read 9 November 2026. - 10Discovery, of 14 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 25Access, of 56 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 12Usability, of 40 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: PepsiCo maintains strong brand discoverability and search presence, but lacks a publicly reachable API surface for agent integration. ## 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 3 of 3 checks (3 crawlers on 1 page).

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 | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

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. 1. Public API with reachable endpoints, worth about 7.8 points by Ora's estimate: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). 2. MCP server / manifest, worth about 6.7 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 3. WebMCP support, worth about 5.6 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 8 of 13 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations). ## Our read PepsiCo opens the door onto 510 characters. All four agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows the crawlers, five of five sampled pages read and the sitemap lists 2,548 pages, but the home page gives 510 characters at a 1 percent text ratio, there is no JSON-LD and no llms.txt, and the metadata lacks og:type, so the Access layer reads 25 of 56. The act layer is empty in the way a food company's usually is, with one twist: the link Ora read as developer documentation is a PDF about modern slavery and human trafficking under /docs, so the portal row is a filing cabinet. There is no public API, no OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 12 of 40. A home page that says more than 510 characters and an Organization block are the two rows for this quarter; whether a snack company wants an API is a different meeting. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Behind the wall Ora found a GraphQL endpoint at pfizer.com/graphql with introspection gated, OpenID Connect discovery at id.pfizer.com and an SDK on npm, more act layer than most pharmaceutical companies publish, though there is no developer portal, no OpenAPI specification and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 12 of 47. The Discovery layer is 7 of 10: pfizer.com ranks third for pfizer, and a search for its developer resources found one result in ten.

There is no llms.txt, and the developer portal Ora found at /dashboard has no public API, OpenAPI specification, MCP server or OAuth behind it, so the Usability layer reads 11 of 39.

The 45 is a D for a site that reads well and does nothing; the six fixes Ora lists are all act-layer rows.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # Procter & Gamble: 40 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short Procter & Gamble scores 40 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade D, read on 9 November 2026. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. A two-letter domain whose developer rows belong to another company entirely. ## The score Procter & Gamble is a consumer goods company based in Cincinnati, the maker of Tide, Pampers and Gillette. - 40of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of pg.com, read 9 November 2026. - 3Discovery, of 12 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 32Access, of 57 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 17Usability, of 49 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 43 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 40, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: pg.com has a public API with reachable endpoints, but lacks an OpenAPI specification. ## 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 6 AI agent user-agents | | Agent crawler reachability | Pass, 2 of 2 | Reachable to all major AI crawlers - ChatGPT-User: reachable, ClaudeBot: reachable, Google-Extended: reachable, ora-agent: reachable, DeepSeekBot: reachable | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Pass, 1 of 2 | robots.txt allows all crawlers (e.g. User-agent: * + Allow: /) - open by default but declares no AI-crawler tier differentiation | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass, 2 of 2 | No robots.txt restriction on user-triggered agents - they can read the site | | Content without JavaScript | Pass, 2 of 3 | 1311 chars with H1 but flat heading structure | ## 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.

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. 1. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 11.1 points by Ora's estimate: Agent searched for "pg" developer resources but found nothing relevant. 2. MCP server / manifest, worth about 5.4 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 3. OAuth 2.0 support, worth about 4.5 points by Ora's estimate: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected. ## Our read Procter & Gamble's read is in two parts, and one of them belongs to someone else. The site itself is open: six AI agent user agents reach pg.com, robots.txt allows every crawler, the home page gives 1,311 characters with an H1, the metadata is complete and the Organization block has its type but no name or description; there is no sitemap, so the Access layer reads 32 of 57. The act layer as Ora recorded it points at help.zscaler.com for the llms.txt, the documentation and the developer portal, which is not Procter & Gamble's property, and the CLI it found on npm is pg-cli, a Postgres tool; the Usability layer of 17 of 49 is really empty. The Discovery layer is 3 of 12 for the same reason: the probe searched for pg and found nothing for a two-letter string. An Organization block with the company's name and a sameAs link would give every probe the right name to search for. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 # Sony: 24 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan ## In short Sony scores 24 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, grade F, read on 9 November 2026. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Six agents blocked, a portal behind them, and a brand search that lost the brand. ## The score Sony is an electronics, games, music and film group based in Tokyo. - 24of 100, grade F Ora's agent-readiness scan of sony.com, read 9 November 2026, listed under Identity & Auth. - 9Discovery, of 17 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 10Access, of 55 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 7Usability, of 55 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Sony provides a developer portal with public API endpoints, but lacks OpenAPI specifications and OAuth 2.0 support. ## 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 | Fail, 0 of 2 | Agents blocked: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended | | Agent crawler reachability | Fail, 0 of 2 | No major AI crawler can reach the homepage - ChatGPT-User: blocked, ClaudeBot: blocked, Google-Extended: blocked, ora-agent: blocked, DeepSeekBot: blocked | | robots.txt AI crawler policy | Partial, 0 of 2 | robots.txt blocked by WAF/bot protection - cannot verify AI crawler policy | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Partial, 0 of 2 | robots.txt blocked by WAF/bot protection - cannot verify agent-user policy | | Content without JavaScript | Partial, 0 of 3 | Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents | ## 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 | Partial, 0 of 1 | A file is present at https://docs.sony.com/.well-known/llms.txt, but it returns an HTML page rather than a plain-text llms.txt. | | llms.txt formatting | Fail, 0 of 2 | No llms.txt found to evaluate quality | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

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. 1. MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.8 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.2 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. OAuth 2.0 support, worth about 4 points by Ora's estimate: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected. ## Our read Sony blocks every agent and keeps its developer portal behind the same wall. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended were blocked at the door, robots.txt was blocked by the same protection and the home page came back as a security page, so the door, content and policy rows are unverified rather than failed; there is no JSON-LD and no sitemap, the metadata carries one of four signals and the llms.txt at docs.sony.com returns an HTML page, so the Access layer reads 10 of 55. The act layer is docs.sony.com, a real documentation site and portal whose API has no machine-verifiable surface, with no OpenAPI specification, no OAuth discovery and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 7 of 55. The brand search ran on sony identity auth, a term that describes the probe rather than the company. An electronics group whose products ship with assistants built in has a site those assistants cannot enter; the block is the row to change. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Not found via search: API docs, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, auth docs, webhooks, MCP server | Ora probed the six payment checks and found no x402, MPP, UCP, ACP or AP2 signal, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. ## Three fixes to hand to the web team Ora estimates how many points each open check would return.

What they can read is 2,780 characters with an H1, 15 H2s and 25 H3s at a 5.9 percent content ratio, with no sitemap, no JSON-LD and 1 of 4 metadata signals. What they can do is little, and Agent Integration reads 8 of 36: neither an OpenAPI specification nor OAuth, the two fixes worth most.

OpenAPI spec published, worth about 5 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.6 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. ## Our read Toyota's global site challenges every agent Ora sent: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot all met bot management, robots.txt answered 403, and the home page returned a security page, so the Access layer reads 0 of 47 and every reading row behind the door is unverified. One thing did answer. A GraphQL endpoint at global.toyota/graphql is reachable and asks for authentication before introspection, which is the right shape for an agent-facing API. Around it there is nothing else: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, and no OAuth or MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 7 of 58. Discovery is 5 of 10: Wikidata confirms the domain, Wikipedia does not, and the brand search ran on the string global.toyota. The world's largest carmaker has a site that asks every assistant to prove it is human; the challenge is the decision, and nothing else on this page moves until it changes. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Product + docs MCP coverage, worth about 4.4 points by Ora's estimate: This bonus needs two MCP servers: one for your product so agents can take actions, and a separate one for your documentation so agents can answer questions from your docs. 3. ARD discovery, worth about 3.7 points by Ora's estimate: No /.well-known/ard.json, no same-site rel="ard" link, and no legacy /.well-known/ai-catalog.json. ## Our read Trafigura's site is easy for an agent to find and read, and gives it nothing to do. The door is open: all four test agents reached the home page, robots.txt allowed the AI search crawlers in 3 of 3 checks, and nothing restricts the agents a user sends. What they can read is in good order: a sitemap of 1,289 entries, complete metadata, an Organization block with name, description, url and sameAs, and text without JavaScript on all 5 sampled inner pages, though the home page headings jump from H2 to H6. There is no llms.txt. Discovery reads 5 of 6. The act layer is where the score stops: an OpenID Connect endpoint answers, but there is neither a public API nor a developer portal, and no MCP server; Usability reads 6 of 15. For a trading house the agents that matter most are the ones reading about it, and those are well served. A C at 56, with WebMCP alone worth about 18 points. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

The reading layer is mostly in order: 2,545 characters of home page with an H1, four of four inner pages readable without JavaScript, a 902-entry sitemap, complete metadata and an open robots.txt.

Nonexistent paths return 200 with the app shell, which Ora scores as a soft 404. The act layer has one real row, an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at sso.unitedhealthgroup.com, with no public API, developer portal or MCP server beside it, so the Usability layer reads 14 of 21.

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 | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for search crawlers: HTML returned instead of robots.txt | | robots.txt agent-user policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for user-triggered agents: HTML returned instead of robots.txt | | Content without JavaScript | error, 0 of 3 | Could not fetch homepage | | 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.

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. 1. Public API with reachable endpoints, worth about 6.5 points by Ora's estimate: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). 2. Scoped permissions, worth about 4.6 points by Ora's estimate: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found. 3. WebMCP support, worth about 4.6 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found. ## Our read UPS opens the door to every agent and then hands it the wrong kind of file at every turn. All four agent user agents reach ups.com, but robots.txt returns HTML instead of rules, the home page could not be fetched, the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page and there is no sitemap, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified or empty and the Access layer reads 12 of 52. The act layer has one working surface, an OAuth endpoint at ups.com/oauth/authorize, and one broken one, an MCP manifest at /.well-known/mcp/manifest.json that is not valid JSON; there is no reachable public API, no developer portal and no OpenAPI specification, so the Usability layer reads 11 of 48. The Discovery layer is 11 of 13, with Wikipedia matching UPS Airlines rather than the parcel company. A carrier whose tracking numbers are what people most often hand an assistant answers with HTML where text was asked for; three files served as what they claim to be would move this D. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

What the page lacks is the layer that tells an agent what it is reading: there is no JSON-LD at all, so the Organization row is empty, and metadata sits at 2 of 4 with og:image and og:type missing. The act layer is empty by design, with no public API, developer portal, MCP server or OAuth, so the Usability layer reads 13 of 19 and WebMCP tops the fix list at 11.7 points. Discovery is 8 of 11, with both Wikipedia and Wikidata confirming the domain. An Organization block and the two missing Open Graph tags are the cheapest rows on this page, and together they would tell an agent whose site it has just read. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

A pharmacy that challenges every agent, with a gated GraphQL endpoint behind the wall. ## The score Walgreens is a pharmacy chain based in Illinois. - 28of 100, grade D Ora's agent-readiness scan of walgreens.com, read 9 November 2026. - 10Discovery, of 11 Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues. - 0Access, of 41 Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data. - 7Usability, of 42 Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents. - 0Payments, of 0 No check in this layer applied to the site. 9 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 20, and the average score is 44. Ora's one-line summary: Walgreens offers discoverable public APIs and endpoints, but lacks published OpenAPI specifications for agent integration. ## 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 | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot.

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 | | Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation.

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. 1. MCP server / manifest, worth about 6.3 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found. 2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 5.7 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. 3. WebMCP support, worth about 5.3 points by Ora's estimate: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found. ## Our read Walgreens challenges every agent at the door and keeps one endpoint behind it. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the door, content, policy, structured-data and metadata rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 0 of 41; there is no sitemap and no llms.txt. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at walgreens.com/graphql with introspection gated behind authentication, and nothing around it that an agent could use: no developer portal, no OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 7 of 42. The Discovery layer is nearly full at 10 of 11, with Wikipedia and Wikidata confirmed and walgreens.com first for walgreens. A pharmacy whose customers ask assistants whether a prescription is ready has a site those assistants cannot open; an MCP server is the fix Ora values most, at 6.3 points, and the challenge is the one that comes first. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

JSON error responses, worth about 2.2 points by Ora's estimate: API does not return JSON error responses (or no API detected). ## Our read Walmart has built more for agents to act through than any retailer here, and still gives them 1,750 characters to read. All four agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows the crawlers, the sitemap lists 12,720 category pages, the metadata is complete and the Organization block lacks only its description, but the home page's text ratio is 2 percent, one sampled page had almost no text without JavaScript and there is no llms.txt, so the Access layer reads 30 of 58. The act layer is the strongest of the shops here: an MCP server at developer.walmart.com/mcp that requires authentication, OAuth authorization server metadata, REST documentation at /api, a GraphQL endpoint and an SDK on RubyGems, with scopes described in prose and no OpenAPI specification; the Usability layer reads 46 of 81. Ora probed the six payment checks and found no protocol, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. An OpenAPI specification is the fix with the most points, about 4; the server it would describe is already live. ## Test your own site Run the same scan on your own domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check).

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/brief Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # The boardroom brief ## In short Pick your sector and company size, answer six questions, and get a one-page brief for a deck: what agents do in your sector today, what your answers imply, three decisions, three asks for the web team, a measurement step that tracks the score on Ora, and the numbers that frame the risk. Nothing is stored or sent. ## Boardroom brief: Ecommerce and retail, 50 to 500 people Prepared 4 November 2026. Answer the six questions above to fill in the second section. ## What agents do in ecommerce today - 20 Sep 2026: Amazon blocked Muse from its store around 20 September 2026; Shopify keeps direct checkout through Meta and Muse on by default for eligible stores, with an off switch for merchants. (Retail Gazette: Amazon blocks Meta's Muse (22 Sep 2026)) - 16 Sep 2026: Google said on 16 September 2026 that its Universal Commerce Protocol already enables direct checkout for hundreds of thousands of brands and retailers across Google, and that merchants can now transfer a shopper's cart to their own site. (Google: holiday shopping updates (16 Sep 2026)) - 8 Sep 2026: Meta launched Muse, a personal agent that runs its own browser and can make purchases with the user's approval, in the US on 8 September 2026. (Meta: Introducing Muse (8 Sep 2026)) - 13 May 2026: Amazon's Alexa for Shopping, which replaced Rufus in the US in May 2026, includes Buy for Me, which completes purchases of eligible products on other retailers' sites using the customer's primary address and card. (Amazon: Meet Alexa for Shopping) ## What your answers imply - No answers yet. ## Three decisions for leadership 1. Which AI shopping surfaces may sell our products, and which are switched on today by platform default. 2. Whether an agent may complete a purchase without the customer confirming the final step. 3. Whether personal agents that do not identify themselves are allowed in, and what our terms say. At your size the head of ecommerce owns the decisions, with the web lead and one person from legal or finance in the room. ## Three asks for the web team 1. List every agentic sales channel enabled in our store platform admin and the date each was switched on. 2. Show price, stock, delivery and returns as text on product pages in the first HTML response. 3. Tell us how our fraud rules score an order that an agent started. ## How to measure it: track it on Ora 1. Scan the domain with Ora at ora.ai (free, public pages only) and record the score out of 100, the grade and the four layer scores: Discovery, Access, Usability and Payments. 2. Compare it with Ora's leaderboard for ecommerce: median 55, top score 98, 184 sites listed (Ora's leaderboard, 5 Nov 2026). 3. Rescan after each fix the web team ships and report the change once a quarter. What the number leaves out: Ora reads public pages only and publishes no data on repeat scans, and its fixing service is a waitlist, so the web team still makes the fixes the report lists. ## The numbers that frame the risk - On Ora's public leaderboard read 5 Nov 2026, the 153 entries in the E-commerce category averaged 52.7 out of 100; 18 scored B (70) or above and 3 scored A (86) or above. (vendor claim, Ora public leaderboard, category averages, read 5 Nov 2026) - Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026) that agents clearly recommended agent-ready businesses in 20 percent of answers against 11 percent for businesses that were not agent ready, across 37,927 runs on 1,056 business sites. (vendor claim, Ora research: AX is the new AEO (8 Oct 2026), read 4 Nov 2026) - In the network's own crawl, run of 4 Nov 2026 (13,071 of 13,071 domains from Tranco list 746WX plus Ora leaderboard domains), 6.9 percent of 8,624 sites with a readable robots.txt disallowed ChatGPT-User at the root and 5.9 percent disallowed Perplexity-User, the fetchers that act on a person's question. (Scorecard methodology: the crawl of 4 Nov 2026, read 4 Nov 2026) Nothing you pick here is stored or sent. The brief is built in your browser. ## The eight static briefs If you would rather read than click, each sector has a finished brief written from the same data. The generator rewrites one of them with your answers. - [Brief for ecommerce and retail](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/ecommerce)Shopping surfaces, default-on channels, and the split between Amazon and Shopify over Meta's Muse. - [Brief for bookings, travel and hospitality](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/bookings)Hotel booking inside Google AI Mode, restaurant availability, and airlines that still finish on their own sites. - [Brief for publishers and media](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/publishers)Separate controls for training, search and live fetches, and what Cloudflare changed in 2026. - [Brief for SaaS and B2B software](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/saas)Agents that read docs and pricing, sign up for trials and open paid accounts. - [Brief for Professional and B2B services](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/services)Assistants that call firms, fill quote forms and collect availability. - [Brief for healthcare and clinics](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/healthcare)Appointment booking through Zocdoc, Gemini and Amazon Health AI, with patient consent rules. - [Brief for financial services](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/finance)Comparison and quote apps inside ChatGPT that hand off to the firm's own site. - [Brief for local and multi-location businesses](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief/local)Google calling stores, searching reservation platforms and pointing customers to the provider. ## The six questions The brief asks six of the 18 self-check questions, one or two from each area, because they decide most of what a board needs to hear. 1. Has anyone checked in the last six months whether your CDN, firewall or bot protection blocks AI crawlers or AI assistants? 2. Do your key pages (products, services, prices, policies) show their main text without needing JavaScript to run in the visitor's browser? 3. Are prices, availability, opening hours and delivery or cancellation terms written as text on the page, not only inside images, PDFs or pop-ups? 4. Can the main task on your site (buy, book, subscribe or request a quote) be completed with standard web forms and buttons, without a CAPTCHA at every step? 5. Has your payments or fraud team agreed how to treat a purchase or booking that an AI agent starts for a customer? 6. Is there a named person in your business who owns how AI agents are treated on your site? ## Sources 1.

Written to paste into a deck. It covers Google's hotel booking and the airlines that still finish on their own sites. ## What agents do in bookings and travel today - 27 Oct 2026 Meta said on 27 October 2026 that Muse in Singapore can explore travel and reservation options with partners including Singapore Airlines, Agoda, Klook and Trip.com, and checks with the user before a purchase.

Which agent booking surfaces we join and on what merchant-of-record and commission terms. 2. Whether an agent may book and pay, or must hand the final step to the guest. 3. Which fees and cancellation terms are published as text before booking. ## Three asks for the web team 1. Make room or table availability for a given date readable without starting a booking session. 2. Put the total price, fees included, and the cancellation deadline on the room or offer page as text. 3. List every step of the booking flow that needs a mouse-only widget or a CAPTCHA. ## The numbers that frame the risk - 5 Nov 2026 On Ora's public leaderboard read 5 Nov 2026, the Travel category top five were RIU 72 (B), Skyscanner 62 (C), Kayak 61 (C), Kiwi.com 59 (C) and Navan 59 (C).

Fraud rules are then set to match. | | Is there a named person in your business who owns how AI agents are treated on your site? | The leadership team names one owner for agent experience, with a quarterly review of the bot rules, readable pages, agent checkout settings and verification. | ## How to measure it: track it on Ora Put one measurement line in the brief. Scan the domain with [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=brief) and record the score out of 100, the grade and the four layer scores: Discovery, Access, Usability and Payments. For bookings and travel, Ora's leaderboard listed 17 sites on 5 November 2026, with a median of 47 and a top score of 72, so those two numbers are the first comparison a board can read. Rescan after each fix the web team ships and report the change once a quarter. Say in the brief what the number leaves out: Ora reads public pages only and publishes no data on repeat scans, and its fixing service is a waitlist, so the web team still makes the fixes the report lists. The [tool choice page](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool) says why this is the scan to use. ## Where the sector stands In the crawl of 4 Nov 2026, 72.7 percent of bookings and travel sites with a readable robots.txt allowed the four main AI agents at the root, and 75 percent of home pages gave readable text to a plain fetch (32 domains in the sample).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Boardroom brief for publishers and media ## In short A one-page brief for the editorial and commercial lead: what agents do in publishing today with dated examples, three decisions for leadership, three asks for the web team and the numbers that frame the risk. Written to paste into a deck. It leads with the rise in agent requests that Cloudflare reported. ## What agents do in publishing today - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare said on 30 September 2026 that daily requests from AI agents on its network grew by more than 1,700 percent over the past year, and that an agent comes back each time someone asks about a piece of content. [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026 - 15 Sep 2026 Cloudflare shipped a Disallow AI Training setting on 15 September 2026 that lets sites stay indexed for search by Apple, Google and Microsoft crawlers while refusing training. [Cloudflare: Disallow AI Training, Accountable crawlers (15 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/accountable-mixed-use-ai-crawlers/), read 4 Nov 2026 - 21 Aug 2026 Cloudflare launched Bot Preference Sync on 21 August 2026, which writes the AI bot choices set for Search, Agent and Training into the site's robots.txt. [Cloudflare: Bot Preference Sync (21 Aug 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/bot-preference-sync/), read 4 Nov 2026 - 1 Jul 2026 From 15 September 2026, new domains on Cloudflare block Training and Agent bots on pages that display ads by default, while Search stays allowed. [Cloudflare changelog: New options to manage AI traffic (1 Jul 2026)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-07-01-ai-traffic-options/), read 4 Nov 2026 ## Three decisions for leadership 1. Whether we allow AI training, AI search indexing and live assistant fetches, decided as three separate choices. 2. Whether to charge AI crawlers or agents, and what loss of reach we accept to test it. 3. Whether agents may fetch pages that carry ads, given the new Cloudflare defaults. ## Three asks for the web team 1. Show us our robots.txt and CDN settings for Search, Agent and Training traffic side by side and flag any mismatch. 2. Report monthly AI crawler and agent requests by operator from our CDN logs. 3. Confirm article text is in the HTML for readers we allow, with paywall rules stated. ## The numbers that frame the risk - 5 Nov 2026 On Ora's public leaderboard read 5 Nov 2026, the 36 entries in the News & Intelligence category averaged 48.6 out of 100; 1 scored B (70) or above and 0 scored A (86) or above. Vendor claim. [Ora public leaderboard, category averages](https://ora.ai/leaderboard?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=brief), read 5 Nov 2026 - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare reported on 30 September 2026 that fewer than 1 percent of sites on its network block search crawlers, while 17 percent block training. [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026 - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare reported that 52 percent of crawler requests it saw in June 2026 were for AI training by stated purpose, up from 22 percent in spring 2025. [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026 ## Six checks and what each answer means Put these six questions to the people who run the site. An answer of no or not sure means the item below is open. | Check | If the answer is no or not sure | | --- | --- | | Has anyone checked in the last six months whether your CDN, firewall or bot protection blocks AI crawlers or AI assistants? | Please export the current AI bot settings from our CDN or bot protection and tell us, for each of Search, Agent and Training traffic, whether it is allowed, challenged or blocked, and on which pages. | | Do your key pages (products, services, prices, policies) show their main text without needing JavaScript to run in the visitor's browser? | Please list which of our page templates deliver their main content in the first HTML response and which need JavaScript to show it, starting with product, pricing and policy pages. | | Are prices, availability, opening hours and delivery or cancellation terms written as text on the page, not only inside images, PDFs or pop-ups? | Ecommerce or product leadership decides which prices and terms are public. The web team then puts them on the page as text, including taxes, fees and cancellation rules. | | Can the main task on your site (buy, book, subscribe or request a quote) be completed with standard web forms and buttons, without a CAPTCHA at every step? | Please walk our main task end to end as a guest and list every step where a CAPTCHA, a custom widget or a pop-up appears. | | Has your payments or fraud team agreed how to treat a purchase or booking that an AI agent starts for a customer? | Finance, payments and ecommerce agree a written position on agent-started purchases: allowed, allowed within limits, or handed back to the customer. Fraud rules are then set to match. | | Is there a named person in your business who owns how AI agents are treated on your site? | The leadership team names one owner for agent experience, with a quarterly review of the bot rules, readable pages, agent checkout settings and verification. | ## How to measure it: track it on Ora Put one measurement line in the brief. Scan the domain with [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=brief) and record the score out of 100, the grade and the four layer scores: Discovery, Access, Usability and Payments. For publishing, Ora's leaderboard listed 110 sites on 5 November 2026, with a median of 47 and a top score of 89, so those two numbers are the first comparison a board can read. Rescan after each fix the web team ships and report the change once a quarter. Say in the brief what the number leaves out: Ora reads public pages only and publishes no data on repeat scans, and its fixing service is a waitlist, so the web team still makes the fixes the report lists. The [tool choice page](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool) says why this is the scan to use. ## Where the sector stands In the crawl of 4 Nov 2026, 61.3 percent of publishing sites with a readable robots.txt allowed the four main AI agents at the root, and 86.2 percent of home pages gave readable text to a plain fetch (227 domains in the sample).

[Cloudflare: Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts (30 Apr 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agents-stripe-projects/), read 4 Nov 2026 ## Three decisions for leadership 1.

Whether we offer an API, a CLI or an MCP server for the tasks customers automate. ## Three asks for the web team 1. Confirm docs, pricing and rate limits load without login or JavaScript and are linked from the home page. 2. Publish an OpenAPI description and link it from the docs. 3.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/briefings Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Guides and briefings ## In short Twelve guides and eight briefings for business leaders.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Agent readiness in 2026: what changed for business leaders ## In short Three things changed for business leaders between August and November 2026. Platforms and CDNs began setting agent rules for your site by default, shopping and booking surfaces started to check out and book for customers, and the first lab evidence arrived on what actually stops an agent. Each change is dated below. ## Change 1: your infrastructure is choosing for you CDNs and platforms now ship settings for AI crawlers, agent verification and checkout. That puts decisions within reach of a dashboard, and it means defaults matter: a setting switched on for one reason can say yes or no to AI use on your behalf. - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare: AI agent requests up more than 1,700 percent in a year. Cloudflare reported that daily requests from AI agents grew more than 1,700 percent in a year, that more than half of Internet traffic was not human, and that human traffic fell as much as 40 percent in heavily crawled categories such as Retail and Financial Services.

From the same date, new domains block Training and Agent bots on pages with ads by default.

It named x402, MCP, Web Bot Auth and PACT as the open specifications it builds on, and said domain owners choose their own identity and payment providers.

Zocdoc opened its booking infrastructure to AI agents that register first, with Gemini, Amazon Health AI and Instinct already connected.

It is optional and it does not control crawling. In Ora's experiment it did not change whether an agent got the answer, and 86 percent of fetches arrived by a link. Yes or not yet both count. ## What it is and what it is not A short file, written in markdown, placed at the root of a website, for example at /llms.txt. It describes the site and lists the pages that matter most, with a line on each. It is written for language models and the agents that use them. - It is a proposal, not a standard issued by a standards body. - It does not control crawling. That is the job of robots.txt and your bot rules. - It does not grant or refuse permission to train on your content. - It does not replace readable pages. Agents still need prices, policies and products as text on the pages. ## What the evidence says - 4 Nov 2026 In the network's own crawl, run of 4 Nov 2026 (13,071 of 13,071 domains from Tranco list 746WX plus Ora leaderboard domains), 24.6 percent of 10,565 sites served an llms.txt file.

A business runs an MCP server that describes what agents may do. - 28 Oct 2026 Zocdoc gives registered agents an MCP server or REST API to search providers, check insurance and book.

Where MCP connects an agent to tools, A2A connects agents to each other. It becomes relevant if you work with other companies' agents, for example as a supplier. This site holds no dated source on its adoption, so it says no more. ## Which one matters to you - If your main task runs through a web form, watch WebMCP. - If other software already uses your services, such as bookings through partners or an order interface, MCP is the likeliest fit. - If neither applies, readable pages and standard forms matter more than any protocol. The decision is not which protocol but which task you want agents to finish. See [whether to publish an API or an MCP server](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/publish-api-or-mcp).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # How to run a 30-minute agent readiness review with your team ## In short Invite four or five people, ask each to take the self-check alone beforehand and use the meeting to compare answers. Disagreements and not sure answers are the findings. Leave with three decisions: your position on AI bots, one readability fix to investigate and one named owner for agent policy. ## Who and what beforehand - The marketing, ecommerce or digital lead who owns the outcome, as chair. - Whoever runs the website platform or its hosting. - Whoever manages the CDN, firewall or bot protection. - Someone from payments or fraud, if you sell or take bookings online. - For publishers, whoever sets the policy on reuse of content. Ask each person to take the [self-check](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check) alone, without comparing notes, and to write down their level, their five area scores and the questions they answered no or not sure. Different answers to the same question are useful: if marketing says robots.txt welcomes AI crawlers and security says the firewall blocks them, you have found your first action. ## The half hour | Minutes | What happens | What you leave with | | --- | --- | --- | | 0 to 5 | Name the one task a customer's agent should be able to do: buy, book, quote, subscribe or read. | A single task to judge everything against. | | 5 to 15 | Go through the five areas and read out the questions where answers differ or are not sure. Do not debate fixes. | What is true today, or that nobody knows. | | 15 to 25 | Turn every not sure into a question with a name and a date, using the sentences on ask your web team. | A list of open questions with owners. | | 25 to 30 | Take three decisions and write them down. | Your position on AI bots, one readability fix, one named owner. | ## The written position One page is enough: which AI visitors you allow and refuse and why, how verified agents are treated at checkout or booking, who owns the policy and when it will be reviewed. A review date matters more than completeness because the rules keep changing. - 6 Aug 2026 Cloudflare said on 6 August 2026 that a recipe site could charge a fraction of a cent per fetch and a local paper could license articles at read time without a licensing deal or login.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # How to run a two-week agent readiness trial on your main task ## In short A useful proof of concept tests one task, not a whole site. Pick the task, take the self-check as a team, run two scanners, watch an agent try the task if you can, and compare it all with what your web team says. Two weeks is enough, and the output is a short list of fixes with owners. ## Why one task A site-wide score hides the step that matters. A customer's agent arrives with one job: buy this, book that, get a quote. If that job fails, a good score elsewhere does not help. A trial built on one task keeps the scope small and the result concrete. ## The fourteen days | Days | Work | Output | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 and 2 | Pick the task and write the success test in one line, for example: an agent acting for a guest can find the product, read the total price with delivery and reach the payment step without a person stepping in. | One task, one test. | | 3 and 4 | The four or five people who own the pieces take the self-check separately, then compare. | The questions where people disagree. | | 5 to 7 | Run two scanners on the pages the task uses. Compare the failed checks, not the totals, and mark which failures sit on the task's path. | A short list of failures on the path. | | 8 to 10 | Have an agent attempt the task, or walk it yourself as a guest and note every step where a person would have to step in. | The walls: a CAPTCHA, a price in an image, a mouse-only date picker. | | 11 and 12 | Ask the web team what robots.txt says about the main AI crawlers, whether a CDN rule is on and whether bot protection can recognise verified agents. | The settings that could explain a failure. | | 13 and 14 | Write one page: the test and whether it passed, each failure with its area and owner, one decision on tools and a date to repeat. | The write-up. | ## What the tools can and cannot show - Read 4 Nov 2026 Cloudflare's free scanner at isitagentready.com checks discoverability, content accessibility, bot access control, protocol discovery and commerce.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Six myths about AI agents and your website ## In short Most myths about AI agents treat all AI visitors as one thing, or a file or a score as a guarantee. robots.txt is a request, refusing training does not mean leaving search, llms.txt is optional, a scanner score is not a task test, a bot's name proves nothing, and most stores need no new payment method first. ## Myth 1: robots.txt blocks AI bots The standard behind robots.txt says its rules are not a form of access authorization. Well-behaved crawlers follow them; others may not. Blocking is also not what it seems: in Ora's lab, agents that were blocked still answered, from other sources, and missed more facts. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026) that in about 99 percent of journeys that hit a dead end on a site, the agent answered anyway from what it found elsewhere. Vendor claim.

A setting launched in September 2026 refuses training and keeps search. - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare reported on 30 September 2026 that fewer than 1 percent of sites on its network block search crawlers, while 17 percent block training.

In Ora's experiment it changed nothing about whether an agent got the answer. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's 19-configuration experiment found llms.txt, JSON-LD, sitemaps and markdown mirrors did not change whether an agent retrieved the answer; only JavaScript-hidden answers and 403 blocks did.

Only two changes stopped an agent in Ora's experiment, and both are a handful of checks among many. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's 19-configuration experiment (190 probes) found only two changes stopped retrieval: an answer hidden in JavaScript (0 of 5 for plain fetch) and a 403 to agent user agents (0 of 5 for both clients).

Scanning tells you what is broken, tracking tells you who mentions you, and fixing is web team time. ## What you may already have Check three places before you buy anything: your CDN or host, which may already offer AI crawler controls; your fraud vendor, which may have a position on agent purchases; and the free scanners. Running one or two of them first shows which questions, if any, need a paid tool. ## Eight questions to ask any vendor 1. Does it check pages, or does it run an agent on a task? 2. Which of the five areas does it cover: find, read, act, pay or trust? 3. Can it see pages behind a login? 4. What is the price, the billing basis and any minimum term, in writing? 5. Does it change anything on our site, or only report? 6. What defaults does it switch on? 7. How often does its list of checks change? 8. Does it work with our current setup?

A decision memo ## In short A memo you can send to the person who owns your website. It names the four kinds of AI visitor, asks for a written position on each and asks the web team to confirm that robots.txt and bot protection match it. The options and dated facts are on the decision page; this is the note that goes with them. ## The memo, ready to send 1. Subject: our position on AI bots and agents, for your reply by \[date\]. 2. We treat AI visitors as four kinds: training crawlers, AI search crawlers, assistants that fetch a page for a person, and agents that act for a customer. 3. Our position is: training \[allow / refuse\], search \[allow / refuse\], assistants \[allow / refuse\], agents acting for customers \[allow / allow verified only / refuse\]. 4. Please export the current AI bot settings from our CDN or bot protection and tell us, for each of Search, Agent and Training traffic, whether it is allowed, challenged or blocked, and on which pages. 5. Please confirm in writing that robots.txt and the bot protection say the same thing, or list the differences. 6. Please tell us who last changed these settings and when, and name the owner we should review them with each quarter. ## Where the options are The three common positions, what each costs and the facts behind them are on the [decision page](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/which-bots-to-allow).

The memo only asks for confirmation; it does not settle which position is right for you. ## Why four kinds - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare said on 30 September 2026 that daily requests from AI agents on its network grew by more than 1,700 percent over the past year, and that an agent comes back each time someone asks about a piece of content.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/confirm-your-self-check-with-a-scan Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Confirm your self-check with a scan ## In short The self-check shows what your business has decided; a scan shows what a visitor gets from your public pages. Ora's scan lists 132 checks in four layers, counts 106 of them, and costs nothing; Ora says it takes about 30 seconds. Read the score, grade and layer scores, send the failed checks to the web team, then rescan. ## The four layers beside your five areas Ora groups its checks in four layers, and each layer asks one question of your public site. Four of your five self-check areas line up with a layer. Trust is the area with no layer of its own, so its questions stay decisions for your team. | Self-check area | Ora layer | Ora's question | Counted checks | Shown, not counted | Points in the score | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Find | Discovery | Can agents find and recommend you? | 13 | 3 | 20 | | Read | Access | Can agents access your data and understand you? | 29 | 13 | 30 | | Act | Usability | Can agents use you? | 58 | 10 | 40 | | Pay | Payments | Can agents pay you? | 6 | 0 | 10 | Across the four layers Ora lists 132 checks, 106 of them verified and counted. Ora's llms.txt adds that checks that do not apply to your kind of site are left out of the score, so a site is not marked down for what it does not need. ## What a scan does to your site Tell your security team before the first scan. Ora's scanner page says what they will see: - 5 Nov 2026 Ora's scanner identifies itself as OraBot/1.0 (+https://ora.ai/bot), visits on demand rather than on a schedule, and fetches public pages and files such as robots.txt, llms.txt, OpenAPI specs, MCP manifests and structured data. Vendor claim. [Ora scanner bot page](https://ora.ai/bot?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=confirm-scan), read 5 Nov 2026 - 5 Nov 2026 Ora signs its own requests with HTTP Message Signatures (RFC 9421, the Web Bot Auth profile) so a site can verify them against keys published at ora.ai. Vendor claim. [Ora scanner bot page](https://ora.ai/bot?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=confirm-scan), read 5 Nov 2026 - 5 Nov 2026 During a scan Ora also sends a handful of requests to the home page carrying other crawlers' user agents, such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, to see how the site answers them; those requests are not signed. Vendor claim. [Ora scanner bot page](https://ora.ai/bot?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=confirm-scan), read 5 Nov 2026 ## How to read the result 1. Read the grade as a band. Ora's scale: A+ is 95 to 100 (Leading), A is 86 to 94 (Agent-Ready), B is 70 to 85 (Competitive), C is 48 to 69 (Needs Work), D is 28 to 47 (At Risk) and F is 0 to 27 (Unusable). 2. Look at the four layer scores before the total. A strong total can hide a layer near zero. 3. Take the failed checks ranked by impact to your web team. Each failed check carries a recommendation in Ora's report. 4. Compare the total with the median for your sector on the [sector guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for). 5. Rescan after each fix. Ora says a fresh scan takes about 30 seconds. The self-check level and the Ora grade can disagree, and the disagreement is useful. A high level with a low grade means decisions were made that the site does not yet show. A low level with a high grade means the site is ahead of the decisions behind it, so find who owns them. The [readiness levels](https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-levels) page explains the level. ## What the scan leaves out - It reads public pages only: private, internal and login-gated pages are out of reach. - Ora publishes no data on repeat scans, and says only that the same scan twice converges within a couple of points. A move of one or two points is not a result. - Its fixing service is a waitlist, so the web team makes the fixes. - [Which agent-readiness tool should our team use](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool)The rubric behind the recommendation and the other scanners. - [What is a good agent readiness score](https://amireadyforagents.com/what-is-a-good-agent-readiness-score)Where a result sits among 132,085 ranked companies. - [The self-check](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check)Eighteen questions, scored in your browser. ## Sources 1.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Ten decisions about AI agents ## In short Ten decisions about AI agents belong to leadership rather than developers: which bots to let in, whether to charge crawlers, whether prices are readable text, whether an agent may complete a purchase, whether to publish an interface, agent payments, verification, what legal needs, what to measure and what to budget. Each page sets out options and dated facts. ## The ten decisions - [Which AI bots and agents to let in](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/which-bots-to-allow)Four kinds of AI visitor, four separate choices, one robots.txt that matches your bot protection. - [Whether to charge AI crawlers and agents](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/whether-to-charge-crawlers)Revenue against reach: what charging for access can cost you in AI answers. - [Whether prices and policies are readable as text](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/readable-prices-and-policies)Which prices, fees and policies are plain text on the page an agent reads. - [Whether an agent may complete a purchase](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/agent-completes-purchase)Whether a customer's agent may finish the purchase or must hand back the last step. - [Whether to publish an API or an MCP server](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/publish-api-or-mcp)Whether agents finish tasks through an interface you publish, or through your web forms. - [Whether to accept agent payments](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/agent-payments)Which agent payment routes you accept, and through which provider. - [How to tell verified agents from unknown bots](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/verifying-agents)Whether agents that prove who runs them are treated differently from unknown bots. - [What to tell legal](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-tell-legal)What your terms and consent rules say about agents acting for customers. - [What to measure](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-measure)Task completion and mentions in AI answers, tracked as two separate lines. - [What to budget](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-budget)Which line pays for agent experience, and what the first spend buys. ## How to use them Read the decision and its options with the people who own the outcome. Each page names who decides, lists three options with the consequence of each, and shows the dated facts behind them. Settle one decision per meeting rather than all ten, and write the answer on one page with a review date. The sentence at the side of each decision is written for your web team. All ten are collected on [ask your web team](https://amireadyforagents.com/ask-your-web-team), together with the technical checks from the [self-check](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check). ## Sources 1.

Three options are below, from not charging to blocking unless paid, with dated facts and a way to test on one section first. ## The decision Decide whether to ask AI operators to pay for access to some or all of your content, accepting that some will decline and stop citing you. Who decides: The commercial lead and the publisher decide; the web team runs the test. ## The options 1. **Do not charge**Simplest; your reach in AI answers depends only on your allow and block rules.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/developers Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # API and MCP server ## In short The sector scorecards, the 18 self-check questions and the ten decisions are also data an agent can query. An MCP server at /mcp offers five read-only tools, a REST API under /api/v1 is described by openapi.json, and an NLWeb endpoint at /ask searches the rows and pages. No credential is needed, and the limit is 120 requests a minute. ## Connect the MCP server The server speaks the Streamable HTTP transport at `https://amireadyforagents.com/mcp`. Send JSON-RPC 2.0 messages with POST and read the JSON answer. There is no session, no credential and no server-initiated stream, so one request gets one answer. Any MCP client that takes a URL connects with that address alone. The card at [/mcp/server-card](https://amireadyforagents.com/mcp/server-card) and the manifest at [/.well-known/mcp.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/.well-known/mcp.json) say the same thing in the forms clients read. ```bash curl -s https://amireadyforagents.com/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-agent","version":"1.0"}}}' ``` ```bash curl -s https://amireadyforagents.com/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_sector_scorecard","arguments":{"sector":"ecommerce"}}}' ``` A tool answers with the result as `structuredContent` and the same JSON as text. A wrong argument answers `isError: true` with the parameter list, and an unknown tool answers JSON-RPC error -32602. The server also lists resources with `resources/list`: the page index, the methodology, this page and the five dataset files (the scorecards as JSON and CSV, the sector index, the self-check questions and the ten decisions), each readable with `resources/read`. ## The five tools | Tool | What it returns | Parameters | | --- | --- | --- | | list_sectors | Lists the eight sectors the scorecards cover: sample size, the four shares (allow the four main AI agents, readable home page, any act surface, any payment file) as counts and percent, and the page URLs of each sector, with the baseline of every crawled domain. Call it first to find a sector id or slug for the other tools. | limit (optional): page size, 1 to 100. cursor (optional): the next_cursor of the previous page. | | get_sector_scorecard | Returns the scorecard of one sector: sample size, how many domains came in by Ora leaderboard category and by domain keyword, and for each of the four measures its definition, the count (n out of the sites where the check could be made), the percent and the baseline of every crawled domain, with the page URLs to cite. Use it when a person asks how their own sector stands. | sector: The sector slug (ecommerce, bookings, publishers, saas, services, healthcare, finance or local) or the id used in the data files, for example bookings-travel. | | rank_sectors | Orders the eight sectors by one of the four measures (allow_agents, readable_text, act_surface or pay_surface), highest share first unless order is asc, with each count and the baseline of every crawled domain. Call it for questions such as which sector lets AI agents in most or publishes an act surface least. | metric: allow_agents (share allowing GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended), readable_text, act_surface or pay_surface. order (optional): desc puts the highest share first (default); asc the lowest. | | get_self_check | Returns the 18 self-check questions in the order the page shows them (find, read, act, pay, trust), each with the question, the plain reason it matters, and whether the next step is a decision for leadership or a request for the web team. Pass a sector for its examples and two extra questions, an area to keep one area, and include_sources for the dated sources behind each question. | sector (optional): Sector slug or id, for example healthcare. Adds the sector examples and its two extra questions, so the list has 20 questions. area (optional): Keep only the questions of one area. Question numbers stay as in the full list. include_sources (optional): true adds each question's dated sources (claim, source URL, read date, kind). | | get_definitions | Returns what each of the four scorecard measures counts, the whole-crawl figure for each, and the crawl behind them: domains crawled and reachable, how many sit in a sector row and how many in none, the status of the edition and the page that gives every rule. Call it before quoting a share, so the denominator is stated correctly. | None. | ## The REST API Each tool is also one GET endpoint under `/api/v1/`, with the parameters in the query string and the same JSON in the answer. [/api](https://amireadyforagents.com/api) is the index, [/openapi.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/openapi.json) describes every operation with its parameters, its response schema and the Error schema, and [/.well-known/api-catalog](https://amireadyforagents.com/.well-known/api-catalog) links that description the way RFC 9727 says. Paginated endpoints take `limit` (1 to 100) and the `next_cursor` of the previous page as `cursor`. - [/api/v1/list\_sectors](https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/list_sectors)List the eight sectors. Paginated. - [/api/v1/get\_sector\_scorecard?sector=ecommerce](https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/get_sector_scorecard?sector=ecommerce)One sector scorecard in full. - [/api/v1/rank\_sectors?metric=allow\_agents](https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/rank_sectors?metric=allow_agents)Rank the sectors on one measure. - [/api/v1/get\_self\_check?sector=ecommerce&area=pay](https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/get_self_check?sector=ecommerce&area=pay)The self-check questions. - [/api/v1/get\_definitions](https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/get_definitions)What each measure counts and the crawl behind it. - [/api](https://amireadyforagents.com/api)The index: endpoints, datasets, limits and versioning. ```bash curl -s 'https://amireadyforagents.com/api/v1/get_sector_scorecard?sector=healthcare' ``` ## Ask in plain words The `/ask` endpoint follows NLWeb 0.55. It searches the sector scorecards, the measure definitions, the self-check questions, the ten decisions and every page, and returns schema.org objects, each with a `grounding.source` URL to cite. GET takes `query` and POST takes the NLWeb request object. Add `streaming=true`, or `prefer.streaming`, for server-sent events named start, result and complete. The mode `summarize` adds a one-sentence SearchSummary item built from the results, never from a model. ```bash curl -s 'https://amireadyforagents.com/ask?query=which+AI+bots+to+let+in' ``` ```bash curl -s https://amireadyforagents.com/ask -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"query":{"text":"which AI bots to let in"},"prefer":{"mode":"list"},"meta":{"version":"0.55"}}' ``` A search with no match answers `_meta.response_type: failure` with the code NO\_RESULTS, and a missing query answers 400 with INVALID\_QUERY. Context objects are accepted and ignored, because the answers come from the data and not from a conversation. ## Discovery files - [/openapi.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/openapi.json)OpenAPI 3.1 for the REST API and /ask, linked from every page as rel=service-desc and from the Link header of the home page. - [/.well-known/api-catalog](https://amireadyforagents.com/.well-known/api-catalog)RFC 9727 linkset: the API, the MCP server and the ask endpoint with their descriptions. - [/mcp/server-card](https://amireadyforagents.com/mcp/server-card)The MCP server card with name, version, remote URL and protocol versions, copied at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json. - [/.well-known/mcp.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/.well-known/mcp.json)The manifest: endpoint, transport and the tools with their input schemas. - [/.well-known/ai-catalog.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json)AI Catalog 1.0 with entries for the MCP card, the OpenAPI document, the ask endpoint and every document, also served at /.well-known/ard.json. - [/schemamap.xml](https://amireadyforagents.com/schemamap.xml)Schema feeds: the rows as JSON-LD lines under /feeds/, named in robots.txt. - [/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json)Two agent skills with a digest each: reading the scorecards and running the self-check with a person. ## Access, limits and errors Credential None. The OpenAPI document declares `security: []` with no security schemes, and [auth.md](https://amireadyforagents.com/auth.md) says the same. The site publishes no OAuth metadata because no endpoint takes a token, and metadata for an authorization server that does not exist would send agents to a door that is not there. Rate limit 120 requests a minute per client address, counted per running instance and announced in the `RateLimit` and `RateLimit-Policy` headers. A 429 carries `Retry-After`. The host may add limits of its own above that. Each dataset is also one file, listed under `datasets` in [/api](https://amireadyforagents.com/api), so a bulk reader never needs the API. Errors JSON and never HTML: `{"error":{"code","message","hint","status","docs"}}` with the codes invalid\_params, not\_found, method\_not\_allowed, unsupported\_media\_type, rate\_limited and internal. A missing endpoint under /api answers 404 and lists the endpoints in the hint. Writes There are none, so every call is safe to retry and no idempotency key exists. Every call answers in one response, so no job pattern is needed. CORS Every answer carries `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`, so an agent running in a browser can call the API and the MCP server. ## WebMCP in the browser Pages that carry the self-check, the brief generator or the calculator register one read-only tool, `score_self_check`, in browsers that offer `navigator.modelContext`. It scores answers the caller passes in, with the rules of the [self-check](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check), inside the tab. It makes no network call and keeps nothing. The server-side tools above are the way to read the data. ## Versioning The path prefix `/api/v1` is the contract. A breaking change, such as a field removed or renamed or a tool removed, ships under `/api/v2` while `/api/v1` keeps answering for at least 180 days, announced on this page and in the `info.version` of openapi.json. Additive changes, such as a new field or a new tool, keep the prefix. The MCP server follows the same rule, and its card and `serverInfo.version` carry the number of the OpenAPI document. The data behind every answer is edition 2026-11-04, named in the `X-Dataset-Edition` header and in every tool result. ## Cite the data Every result names the page it comes from, and that URL is the one to cite. The scorecard files are published under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) and the citation line is on the [scorecards page](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards). The wording of the questions and decisions follows the [terms of use](https://amireadyforagents.com/terms-of-use). ## What the surface does not do It does not write, hold accounts, generate text with a model or search beyond this site's own rows and pages. It scores no website: the figures describe the sectors of one crawl, and the self-check describes what a business has decided. The pages remain the record, and the [methodology](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards/methodology) explains how the scorecards are made. ## Sources 1.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/editorial-policy Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Editorial policy ## In short Every page follows the same rules. A fact needs a source link and a read date. Vendor claims and trade press reports are labelled. Numbers from our crawl say which crawl and when. Nothing hypothetical is presented as happening. Scores and verdicts use one published rubric for everyone, and corrections are dated. ## What counts as a fact A fact is a statement we can link to a page we read, on a date we record. Prices, scores and counts carry the date read. Where a source is a vendor describing itself, the text says so. Where it is a trade report of something the operator said, the text says that too. Ora's own lab findings appear as Ora's lab found, with the date of the report, and never as a general finding. The same labelling applies to any vendor. ## What we do not publish - Examples we cannot date and source. - Predictions presented as events. - Scores that cannot be traced to a published rubric. - Instructions for building. The site stops at the decision and the sentence for your web team. ## Numbers from our own crawl The sector scorecards come from one crawl of the top websites with a plain client and an honest user agent. Each number says how many sites it counts and what a site must do to be counted. The [methodology](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards/methodology) lists the rules and the limits. When the crawl is repeated, the new edition is dated and the old numbers stay available. ## How the self-check and the briefs are written The self-check questions, the decisions and the briefs use the same dated facts as the guides. The scoring rule is the one on the [readiness levels](https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-levels) page and it does not change without a dated note there. ## Corrections Errors are corrected on the page, the review date moves and the [corrections page](https://amireadyforagents.com/corrections) lists the change. Send a correction to hello@amireadyforagents.com. ## Sources The rules on this page are the publication's own. 1.

They cover whether agents visit your site, whether to block bots, how checkout and payment work, what Cloudflare and Shopify changed in 2026, how each sector is affected and which standards matter first. ## Getting started ### Is my website ready for AI agents? Start with the 18-question self-check: it scores five areas (find, read, act, pay, trust) in your browser and stores nothing. Then ask your web team to run a free public scanner. Ora reported an average score of 44 out of 100 across 145,922 sites on 5 Nov 2026, with 7 percent at B or above, so most sites have gaps. Source: [Ora home page](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=faq), read 5 Nov 2026. ### Do AI agents actually visit business websites? Yes, and the volume is rising fast. Cloudflare reported on 30 September 2026 that daily requests from AI agents on its network grew by more than 1,700 percent in a year, and that more than half of Internet traffic this year was not human. Source: [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026. ### What should I ask my web team first? Ask two things: which of our page templates show their main text without JavaScript, and whether our CDN or bot protection blocks AI agents. Those match the only two changes that broke an agent in Ora's experiment. Source: [AgentReady.org guide](https://agentready.org/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=faq), read 4 Nov 2026. ### How much does an agent readiness check cost? The main public scanners are free: Cloudflare's isitagentready.com, is-agentic.com built by Vercel with Ora, and Ora's own scan, which needs no key or signup (read 4 Nov 2026). Fixing the findings is web team time.

No. Cloudflare's scanner is free and public, is-agentic.com targets content sites, and others exist. Ora's scan is free; its fixing product is behind a waitlist with no published price on 4 Nov 2026. Source: [Is Your Site Agent-Ready? (Cloudflare, isitagentready.com)](https://isitagentready.com/), read 4 Nov 2026. ### How often should we review agent readiness? Quarterly, and after any redesign, checkout change or CDN change. Platform defaults change too: Cloudflare changed new-domain defaults on 15 September 2026 and Shopify switched on Meta checkout by default in September 2026.

Treat it as four decisions: training crawlers, AI search crawlers, assistants fetching a page for a person, and agents acting for a customer. On Cloudflare, 17 percent of sites block training but fewer than 1 percent block search (30 Sep 2026). Blocking assistants and agents turns away customers' requests. Source: [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026. ### What are the two things that most often break an agent? In Ora's 19-configuration experiment, only two changes stopped an agent getting the answer: hiding it in JavaScript (fails a plain fetch) and returning 403 to agent user agents (fails every client). llms.txt, JSON-LD, sitemaps and markdown mirrors changed nothing in that test.

It answers anyway from other sources. Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026) that in about 99 percent of journeys that hit a dead end, the agent answered from elsewhere, and those answers were 3.7 times as likely to miss every fact the buyer asked for.

On 1 July 2026 every plan got separate controls for Search, Agent and Training traffic. From 15 September 2026 new domains block Training and Agent bots on pages with ads by default, and a Disallow AI Training setting keeps search crawling while refusing training.

It is a trade between revenue and reach. Cloudflare argues a recipe site could charge a fraction of a cent per fetch, but operators that decline to pay stop reading and citing you. Test on one section first and measure both. Source: [Cloudflare: the agentic internet, WebMCP example (6 Aug 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-agentic-internet/), read 4 Nov 2026. ### How do I know an agent is who it says it is? Ask your CDN or bot vendor whether it checks signatures. Cloudflare said operators including OpenAI, Google and AWS sign their agents' requests with Web Bot Auth, and it sees more than 500 billion verified bot requests a week (30 Sep 2026).

Mostly not inside the chat any more. OpenAI's docs say Instant Checkout is available to approved partners; since March 2026, Shopify products in ChatGPT are typically bought on the merchant's own storefront. ChatGPT still finds and compares your products, so readable prices matter. Source: [OpenAI commerce docs: key concepts](https://developers.openai.com/commerce/guides/key-concepts), read 4 Nov 2026. ### Which shopping agents can complete a purchase today? Google AI Mode and Gemini through UCP for integrated merchants, Microsoft Copilot Checkout, Perplexity with PayPal merchants, Amazon's Buy for Me for eligible products on brand sites, and Meta's Muse with user approval where merchants allow it. Each has its own rules and dates.

Amazon said Meta had not told it Muse would access its store and that Muse did not identify itself while browsing, and it told users that continued access by an unauthorised AI agent breached its conditions of use (reported 22 September 2026). Source: [Retail Gazette: Amazon blocks Meta's Muse (22 Sep 2026)](https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2026/09/amazon-blocks-metas-new-ai-shopping-agent-from-its-website/), read 4 Nov 2026. ### Is my Shopify store already selling through AI agents?

Usually you. Google's AI Mode hotel booking keeps the hotel or platform as merchant of record, Microsoft says merchants stay merchant of record in Copilot Checkout, and OpenAI says it is not the merchant of record under ACP. Source: [OpenAI commerce docs: key concepts](https://developers.openai.com/commerce/guides/key-concepts), read 4 Nov 2026. ### What should our fraud team do about agent purchases? Agree a written position first: allowed, allowed within limits, or handed back to the customer. Then set fraud rules to match. Ora's lab found agents paying through Stripe Link got 92.3 percent of test checkouts right (733 of 794 runs in a cloud browser, October 2026), so payment-level checks exist.

Most read the page as your server first sends it. If prices load by script, sit in an image or appear only at checkout, the agent may report them as missing. Ora's lab found pricing answers built from the business's own pages were right 60 percent of the time against 37 percent from other sources (8 Oct 2026).

No. Being mentioned happens inside someone else's AI answer; completing a task happens on your site. Track them separately. Ora's lab found agents clearly recommended agent-ready businesses in 20 percent of answers against 11 percent for others, matched on brand fame (8 Oct 2026).

AEO tracks whether AI answers mention and cite you. Agent experience is whether a customer's agent can read your site, get in and finish the task. They need different tools and owners. An AEO tool such as Scrunch starts at 250 US dollars a month billed annually (read 4 Nov 2026).

In the US, Google began rolling out hotel booking inside AI Mode on 27 August 2026 with partners such as Booking.com, Expedia, Hilton and Marriott, paid with Google Pay. AI Mode does not buy flights; those finish on the airline's site.

Yes. Google can call nearby stores to ask about stock, price and promotions, and for categories such as home repair, beauty and pet care it can call for pricing and availability. Businesses control this through Business Profile settings.

Only if you want agents to finish tasks directly, such as booking or ordering. AgentReady makes an MCP server or a CLI a MUST in that case.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/for Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # What AI agents mean for your sector ## In short Eight sector guides for business leaders. Each carries at least four dated examples of agents at work, the decisions that are yours, the asks for your web team and the sector's place in the crawl. Pick the one closest to your business; the self-check and the boardroom brief have a version for each. ## The eight sectors - [Ecommerce and retail](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/ecommerce)Shopping surfaces, default-on channels, and the split between Amazon and Shopify over Meta's Muse. - [Bookings, travel and hospitality](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/bookings)Hotel booking inside Google AI Mode, restaurant availability, and airlines that still finish on their own sites. - [Publishers and media](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/publishers)Separate controls for training, search and live fetches, and what Cloudflare changed in 2026. - [SaaS and B2B software](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/saas)Agents that read docs and pricing, sign up for trials and open paid accounts. - [Professional and B2B services](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/services)Assistants that call firms, fill quote forms and collect availability. - [Healthcare and clinics](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/healthcare)Appointment booking through Zocdoc, Gemini and Amazon Health AI, with patient consent rules. - [Financial services](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/finance)Comparison and quote apps inside ChatGPT that hand off to the firm's own site. - [Local and multi-location businesses](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/local)Google calling stores, searching reservation platforms and pointing customers to the provider. ## How each guide is built Every example is dated and sourced, and a source that is a vendor or a trade report is labelled as one. Nothing hypothetical is presented as happening. Where the evidence is thin the guide says less rather than guessing. Each guide ends with the same three hand-offs: a version of the [self-check](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check) with examples from the sector, a [boardroom brief](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief) you can paste into a deck, and the sector's [scorecard](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards) from the crawl of the top sites. The guides cover what to decide, not how to build. The sentences for your web team are written so a non-technical leader can send them as they are. ## Sources 1.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # How agents change SEO and AEO budgets ## In short Agents change what a search budget buys. Mentions in AI answers and the ability of an agent to finish a task are different results with different tools and owners. Split the budget in two lines, fund the cheap blockers first, and treat tracking tools as a way to measure mentions rather than as a fix. ## Two results, two lines The first result is whether AI answers mention and cite you. The second is whether an agent that arrives can read your site and finish the task. A tool that measures the first does not tell you the second, and the reverse is also true. Give each its own owner, its own budget line and its own number in the board report. ## Where the money goes - Fix first. Pages that need JavaScript to show their text and bot rules that return an error to agents are web team work and usually small. - Measure second. A tracking tool re-runs prompts and shows trends in mentions. Price it against the question it answers. - Build last. An agent interface or a checkout integration is a product project. Fund it for a named task. See [what to budget](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-budget) for the options and [what to measure](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-measure) for the two lines. ## What the evidence says Help a marketing leader split budget between being mentioned in AI answers and being usable when the agent arrives. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026) that 78 percent of the finished answer came from the business's own pages when the site was agent ready, against 58 percent when it was not.

Six items, with the red flags to watch. Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/guides/how-to-brief-an-agency Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # How to brief an agency on agent readiness ## In short Brief an agency on agent readiness with one page that asks for a fixed-scope, checkable proposal instead of an open retainer. Name the task, require a before scan from a public scanner, ask for each fix to be named by identifier, price it per fix or sprint, and require the same scanners and one agent journey after delivery. ## What goes on the one page 1. The main task an agent should be able to complete, and how you will know it did. Buy, book, request a quote or read an article. 2. The starting evidence: a scan from at least one free public scanner and screenshots of what a plain fetch of your key pages returns. 3. The standard to work to. Ask for each fix to be named by its AgentReady identifier, such as AR-FIND-01, or by the scanner's check name. 4. The price: a fixed fee per fix or per sprint, not a monthly retainer for AI visibility. 5. The proof: the same scanners re-run after delivery, plus one agent journey on the main task. 6. Your platform: named experience with Shopify, WordPress, Next.js or whatever you run. ## Why this shape works The evidence in the list below says that only two changes stopped an agent from getting an answer in Ora's experiment: an answer hidden in JavaScript and a 403 returned to agent user agents. Both are web team fixes that a scanner can show before and after. A proposal that does not start there should explain which check each month of work will fix. The same evidence is why a leader can ask for identifiers. The list of what a site should implement has stable names, so an agency can say which items it will deliver and you can check them without a developer. ## Red flags in a proposal - A promise of a position in AI answers. No agency controls what an AI product recommends. - No before and after evidence from a scanner you can run yourself. - A retainer that starts with content volume rather than the two blockers. - A file such as llms.txt as the headline deliverable. In Ora's experiment it did not change whether an agent got the answer, although it can be a reasonable small addition. ## What the evidence says Give a leader a one-page brief that gets a fixed-scope, checkable proposal instead of an open retainer. - 4 Nov 2026 Ora's scan is free, with no key, card or signup, and rate-limited by IP (read 4 Nov 2026).

If the prices and the main text are missing, an agent that does not run scripts sees the same gap. 4. Minutes 35 to 45.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # The questions your CFO will ask about agents ## In short A CFO will ask what agents cost, what they earn, what the risk is and what waiting costs. Give dated numbers for each: agent requests grew more than 1,700 percent in a year on Cloudflare's network, human traffic fell as much as 40 percent in heavily crawled categories, and operators paid more per answer on weaker sites. ## Cost The first fixes are web team time, not a licence. The main public scanners are free, so the first spend is days of engineering plus any tracking tool you choose. See the figures on [what to budget](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-budget). ## Revenue Be careful here. The evidence is about recommendations and answers, not sales: agents clearly recommended agent-ready businesses in 20 percent of answers against 11 percent in Ora's lab, matched on brand fame. That is a vendor finding, and it measures recommendation rate rather than revenue. Say so to the CFO. ## Risk Two risks stand out. Traffic: Cloudflare reported human traffic down as much as 40 percent in heavily crawled categories in under a year. Control: platform defaults can switch on agent checkout for your store before anyone decides. Put an owner on both. ## Spending limits and fraud Agent buying already has limits built in on some routes. Stripe sets a default 100 US dollar monthly limit per provider for agents buying through Stripe Projects. Your own fraud rules need a written position on purchases an agent starts. ## The cost of waiting There is no published number for it. What the dated facts show is that agent traffic is rising quickly and that defaults move without you. A quarterly review is the cheapest hedge. ## What the evidence says Prepare a leader for cost, revenue and risk questions with dated numbers. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found agents paying through Stripe Link got 92.3 percent of test checkouts right (733 of 794 runs in a cloud browser), across 26 agent setups on the same 33 checkout tasks (AgentReady guide, October 2026).

Five steps. Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/guides/read-a-scanner-result-without-a-developer Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # How to read a scanner result without a developer ## In short A scanner report turns into three decisions and a short list for the web team. Read the grade as a band, look at the failed checks that sit on your main task, set aside checks marked not applicable, and send the rest as a numbered list with an owner for each. Do not make the score itself the goal. ## Five steps 1. Read the grade as a band, not a number. A move between bands means something; a move of two points inside a band usually does not. 2. Find the failed checks that sit on your main task. A failure on a page nobody needs for the task can wait. 3. Sort each failure into a decision or a technical fix. A blocked bot is a decision; a missing sitemap is a fix. 4. Check what the tool left out. Some scanners exclude checks that do not apply to your kind of site, so a missing check is not always a pass. 5. Send the list to the web team with an owner and a date, and re-run the scan when they say it is done. ## What to ignore Comparing your score with another site's, unless both were scanned the same day with the same tool. Treating a scanner as proof that agents will finish a task: it checks files and settings, while only a run of an agent shows whether the job finished. Chasing bonus checks before the essentials pass. ## What the evidence says Help a leader turn a scanner report into three decisions and a short list for the web team. - 5 Nov 2026 Ora's home page on 5 Nov 2026 reported an average score of 44 across 145,922 sites scanned, with 7 percent at B or above (vendor-published).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # What ChatGPT does to your business today ## In short In November 2026 ChatGPT finds and compares products, runs apps from firms such as Experian, and fetches official sites to answer questions. Most purchases finish on the merchant's own storefront or app, and OpenAI is not the merchant of record. For a leader, readable pages and a clear position on bots matter more than a checkout integration. ## What it means for you - ChatGPT can send a buyer to you with your price and terms in the answer, or leave you out when it cannot read them. - Checkout mostly finishes on your storefront or in your app, so returns, service and the customer relationship stay with you. - ChatGPT's background searches now go to official sites far more than before, which makes your own pages the evidence it uses. - Whether it can fetch your pages depends on your robots.txt and bot protection. Check both for ChatGPT-User, the fetcher that acts on a person's question. ## What the evidence says Tell a leader, without technical detail, what ChatGPT can do on a site like theirs in November 2026. - 4 Nov 2026 In the network's own crawl, run of 4 Nov 2026 (13,071 of 13,071 domains from Tranco list 746WX plus Ora leaderboard domains), 6.9 percent of 8,624 sites with a readable robots.txt disallowed ChatGPT-User at the root.

Comet acts inside the user's own session, so your site sees a person's browser rather than a labelled bot. ## What it means for you - If you take PayPal and your catalogue is synced, you can be found and paid inside Perplexity, with you as merchant of record. - Comet's assistant works in the user's own browser, so it reaches you as that user's session, not through an integration. Bot rules that only target labelled agents will not see it. - PerplexityBot and Perplexity-User are the names to check in your robots.txt and bot protection. - A page an agent cannot read costs you the same here as anywhere: the answer is built without you. ## What the evidence says Tell a leader what Perplexity's shopping and its Comet browser can do on their site now. - 4 Nov 2026 In the network's own crawl, run of 4 Nov 2026 (13,071 of 13,071 domains from Tranco list 746WX plus Ora leaderboard domains), 7.9 percent of sites with a readable robots.txt disallowed PerplexityBot and 5.9 percent disallowed Perplexity-User at the root.

Every store now faces one choice: welcome agents that identify themselves, refuse those that do not, or hand the customer back. ## What the split shows - Identification is now a commercial question. Amazon's stated reasons were that Muse did not identify itself and that Meta had not told it Muse would access the store. - Platforms disagree. Amazon blocked; Shopify kept a declared checkout path open, with an off switch for merchants. - A customer's agent can be refused by one store and welcomed by the next on the same day, so your own position matters more than the average. ## What to do 1. Decide in writing whether agents that do not identify themselves may shop in your store. 2. Make your terms and your bot rules say the same thing. See [what to tell legal](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/what-to-tell-legal). 3. Ask your bot vendor whether it can tell verified agents from unknown ones. See [verifying agents](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/verifying-agents). ## What the evidence says Explain the September 2026 split between Amazon and Shopify and the decision it puts in front of every store. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's report notes Shopify merchants stayed reachable through a declared checkout path after the block.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # What to ask a vendor who says "agent ready" ## In short Ask any vendor who says agent ready five questions: does it show the evidence behind the score, does it name the fix, are its prices published, does it measure after the fix, and does it work with your stack. They separate tools that measure task completion from tools that measure mentions. The vendors page scores four examples. ## The five questions Does it show the evidence behind the score? Good: a list of named checks, each with pass or fail, and a method page. Weak: a single number with no breakdown. Does it name the fix? Good: each failure points to a change and who makes it. Weak: a report that describes the problem and stops. Are the prices published? Good: a price page you can read today. Weak: contact sales for a tool that reports on public pages. Does it measure after the fix? Good: you can re-run the same checks and see the change. Weak: a dashboard of new numbers that cannot be compared with the old ones. Does it work with your stack? Good: it names the platforms it supports and what it cannot see, such as pages behind a login. Weak: it works with everything. Questions do not make a vendor good or bad. They show whether it measures what you are buying it for. A tool that tracks mentions in AI answers answers a different question from one that runs an agent on your checkout, and you may need both. ## What the evidence says Give a buyer five questions that separate tools that measure task completion from tools that measure mentions. - 4 Nov 2026 Ora's fixing product is behind a waitlist with no published price; its scan is free (read 4 Nov 2026).

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # When your platform switches on an agent sales channel for you ## In short Some platforms switch agent sales channels on for your store by default. Shopify keeps direct checkout through Meta and Muse on for eligible stores, and Microsoft enrols Shopify merchants in Copilot Checkout after an opt-out window. Find each channel in your admin, write down the date it went on and decide on or off for each. ## What to do this week 1. Open the sales channels or apps area of your store admin and list every channel that mentions agents, AI or an assistant. 2. Write down for each one whether it is on, who switched it on and when. If nobody knows, that is the finding. 3. Decide on or off per channel against the position in [whether an agent may complete a purchase](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/agent-completes-purchase). 4. Tell payments and fraud which channels are on, so their rules know an agent may have started an order. ## Who owns it Defaults change when the platform changes them, not when you do. Name one owner for agent channels and review them every quarter, along with the bot rules and the policy pages.

The leaders are the highest scores on the day, not an endorsement of the businesses. ## How the sectors were read Ora groups its leaderboard by category, not by sector. This site reads each sector through the Ora categories that stand in for it in the crawl: ecommerce through Commerce Tools and E-commerce; bookings and travel through Travel & Hospitality; publishing through Gaming & Media and News & Intelligence; software through AI & ML, CRM, Communication & Support, Data & Analytics, Developer Tools and Productivity; professional services through HR & Recruiting, Legal & Compliance and Marketing; healthcare through Healthcare; financial services through Payments & Fintech; local business through Consumer and Real Estate & Construction. The list is a way to give a leader a comparison, not a definition of a sector. The leaderboard is a subset: it lists 3,453 sites, and Ora's stats API counted 132,085 ranked companies on the same day. Entries were scanned on 123 different days between 7 Apr 2026 and 5 Nov 2026, so a comparison with a site scanned today mixes dates. The scores are Ora's, vendor-published. ## What to do with it 1. Find your sector in the table and note the median and the middle half. 2. Scan your own site with [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=sector-compare) and write down the score and the grade. 3.

The boardroom brief builds the one-page pre-read in your browser, and Ora's sector leaderboard supplies the comparison number. ## The fifteen-minute agenda 1. Two minutes: what agents do in your sector today. Use the dated examples on your [sector guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for), not general claims. 2. Three minutes: where you stand. Give your self-check level and your Ora score and grade beside the sector median. 3. Four minutes: three decisions that need a yes or a no from the board or its delegate. The brief lists them for your sector. 4. Three minutes: the asks of the web team, each with an owner and a date. 5. Three minutes: how you will measure and when you will report back. The measurement step is to track it on Ora each quarter. Send the one-page pre-read two days ahead. The [boardroom brief generator](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief) builds it from your sector, your size and six answers, and nothing is stored or sent. ## The comparison number to bring Boards ask who else is doing this. The honest answer is a sector median with a date, so bring the one for your sector. These are Ora's figures from its leaderboard on 5 Nov 2026; your own score needs a scan of your own site. | Sector | Median | Top score | Listed sites | Brief | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ecommerce and retail | 55 | 98 | 184 | Brief for ecommerce | | Bookings, travel and hospitality | 47 | 72 | 17 | Brief for bookings and travel | | Publishers and media | 47 | 89 | 110 | Brief for publishing | | SaaS and B2B software | 58 | 98 | 1,089 | Brief for software | | Professional and B2B services | 53 | 89 | 375 | Brief for professional services | | Healthcare and clinics | 47.5 | 80 | 252 | Brief for healthcare | | Financial services | 53 | 93 | 400 | Brief for financial services | | Local and multi-location businesses | 50 | 77 | 163 | Brief for local business | ## What the board will ask - What does this cost?

Edition of 4 November 2026. Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/manifesto Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # How AI agents experience your business: a manifesto ## In short Ten principles for leaders, written on 4 November 2026. Each states one belief about how AI agents meet a business and carries the number behind it, with its source, its date and a label where the number is a vendor finding. The principles are opinions; the numbers are the evidence. ## 1\. Agents are already your audience Machines read more of the web than people do, and the machines that act for a person arrive every time someone asks about you. Treat them as a customer segment with needs, not as an annoyance in the logs. - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare (30 Sep 2026): Daily requests from AI agents on Cloudflare's network grew by more than 1,700 percent over the past year, and more than half of Internet traffic this year was not human. [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 2\. Most sites have not stated a position A robots.txt written for search engines says nothing about agents. Few sites declare what AI may do with their content, and almost none publish a way for an agent to act. - 17 Apr 2026 Cloudflare Radar (17 Apr 2026): Cloudflare Radar's scan of top domains found 78 percent have a robots.txt, 4 percent declare AI usage preferences with Content Signals, and 3.9 percent support markdown content negotiation. [Cloudflare: Introducing the Agent Readiness score (17 Apr 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agent-readiness/), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 3\. The cheapest fixes are the ones that matter In a controlled test, a long list of popular measures changed nothing. Two things broke retrieval: an answer hidden in script and a refusal returned to agent user agents. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (19 Oct 2026): One docs site served under 19 configurations and probed on 5 topics by a plain-fetch client and a JavaScript-running client (190 probes): only hiding the answer in JavaScript and returning 403 to agents stopped retrieval; llms.txt, JSON-LD, sitemaps and markdown mirrors changed nothing. Vendor claim. [Introducing AgentReady.org (19 Oct 2026)](https://ora.ai/blog/agentready-launch?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=manifesto), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 4\. Agents use the front door They go to docs and the home page, and only rarely to machine files. When they do open a machine file, they follow a link to it rather than guess its path. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (AgentReady guide, Oct 2026): Agents reached docs pages in 83 percent of traced runs and the home page in 69 percent; .well-known files 23 percent, openapi.json 21 percent where shipped, and sitemap.xml 4 percent. Vendor claim. [AgentReady.org guide](https://agentready.org/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=manifesto), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 5\. Agent readiness changes what is said about you A site an agent can read gets recommended more often, and a site it cannot read gets described from other people's pages. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026): Agents clearly recommended agent-ready businesses in 20 percent of answers against 11 percent for businesses that were not agent ready (1.9 times), with two blind judges both giving the top grade. Vendor claim. [Ora research: AX is the new AEO (8 Oct 2026)](https://ora.ai/blog/ax-is-the-new-aeo?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=manifesto), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 6\. Missing facts are the cost When the agent cannot read you, it does not stop. It answers from somewhere else, and the buyer's question goes unanswered or answered wrongly. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026): Answers built without reading the business's site were 3.7 times as likely to contain none of the facts the buyer asked for: 25 percent versus 7 percent, across 2,499 graded answers from 131 businesses. Vendor claim. [Ora research: AX is the new AEO (8 Oct 2026)](https://ora.ai/blog/ax-is-the-new-aeo?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=manifesto), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 7\. Search is not the thing to block Most sites keep search crawlers and a minority refuse training. The choice is between purposes, and it can be made one purpose at a time. - 30 Sep 2026 Cloudflare (30 Sep 2026): Fewer than 1 percent of sites on Cloudflare block search crawlers, while 17 percent block training. [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026 ## 8\. The scoreboard is public and low Scanning has become cheap and common. The averages are low, which means the sites that do the work stand out for some time. - 5 Nov 2026 Ora, vendor-published (5 Nov 2026): Ora's home page reported 145,922 sites scanned, an average score of 44 and 7 percent at B or above. Vendor claim. [Ora home page](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=manifesto), read 5 Nov 2026 ## 9\. Measure the work A number is only worth reporting if the method is. A study of tens of thousands of agent journeys is one way to know what happens; your own task test is another. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab, method: The study ran 37,927 agent journeys on 1,056 business sites across four agent setups on Claude and GPT models; sites were scored on 24 August 2026 and journeys ran in late August and September 2026.

Write the position down A default is a decision somebody else made. Write down who may enter, what may be asked of an agent and who owns the answer, and review it each quarter. - 17 Apr 2026 Cloudflare Radar (17 Apr 2026): Cloudflare Radar's scan of top domains found 78 percent have a robots.txt, 4 percent declare AI usage preferences with Content Signals, and 3.9 percent support markdown content negotiation.

Ora launched AgentReady.org with Vercel, Stripe, Auth0, Mintlify, Tavily, Google, Elementor and MIT: an MIT-licensed list of what to implement so agents can find, read and act, with identifiers such as AR-FIND-01.

These are vendor findings. ## September 2026 - [Cloudflare: AI agent requests up more than 1,700 percent in a year](https://amireadyforagents.com/news/2026-09-30-cloudflare-ai-agent-requests-up-more-than-1-700-percent-in)30 Sep 2026.

A worked example. Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-levels Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Agent readiness levels ## In short The self-check turns 18 answers into one of five levels: Hidden, Found, Readable, Actionable and Prepared. A yes scores 2, not sure 1 and no 0. The five areas count equally, and the weakest area caps the level at one above its own. This is a self-assessment of your answers, not a scanner grade. ## The five levels | Level | Score | What it means | Next step | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1, Hidden | 0 to 24 | Agents are likely to have trouble finding or reading you at all. | Start with the find and read questions. Ask your web team what your robots.txt and bot protection allow today, and whether key pages show their text without JavaScript. | | 2, Found | 25 to 44 | Agents can probably reach you, but much of what they need is missing or unclear. | Agents can get in. Make sure what they find is readable: prices, availability and policies as text, and structured data on product, event or article pages. | | 3, Readable | 45 to 64 | Agents can read most of what matters, but completing a task is uncertain. | Look at the act and pay questions. Walk through your main task as a guest and note every step a person has to rescue. | | 4, Actionable | 65 to 84 | Agents can read you and complete some tasks; a few gaps remain. | Decide how you treat agents that act for customers: verification, fraud rules and who owns the policy. | | 5, Prepared | 85 to 100 | By your own answers, the foundations are in place. Confirm them with a scanner and your web team. | Confirm your answers with an automated scanner and your own analytics, then revisit the self-check when standards change. This site is reviewed monthly. | ## How the score is worked out 1. Each answer scores points: yes 2, not sure 1, no 0. 2. An area score is its points as a percentage of twice the number of questions in the area. 3. The overall score is the average of the five area scores, rounded. 4. The overall score gives a band level. The weakest area also gives a level. The final level is the band level, capped at one level above the weakest area's level. A worked example: Find 100, Read 75, Act 38, Pay 17 and Trust 67 average to an overall score of 59, which is band Level 3. The weakest area, Pay at 17, is Level 1, so the cap is Level 2. The result is Level 2, Found, capped by Pay. The [what-if calculator](https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-calculator) runs this for any five numbers. In the sector versions, the two extra questions count inside their own area, so that area has more questions behind its percentage. ## What the level is not It is not a scanner grade. A scanner such as Ora's grades a site from A+ to F on checks of its public pages, while the self-check scores what your business has decided and checked. The two can disagree, and the disagreement is useful. - Read 4 Nov 2026 Ora grades from A+ (95 to 100) through A (86 to 94), B (70 to 85), C (48 to 69), D (28 to 47) to F (0 to 27). Vendor claim.

Source: https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards Site: Am I Ready for Agents? Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Agent readiness scorecards by sector ## In short A crawl of 13,071 top websites on 4 November 2026 sliced into eight sectors: how many allow the four main AI agents, show readable text to a plain fetch, publish any act surface or any payment file. This is the complete first edition. The data downloads as CSV and JSON. ## Share of sites that allow the four main AI agents Each dot is a sector. The measure is the share of sites with a readable robots.txt whose rules let GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended in at the site root. The whole crawl sits at 84.4 percent. Share of sites allowing the four main AI agents at the root, by sector. Ecommerce and retail: 94.5 percent, 190 of 201 sites. Bookings, travel and hospitality: 72.7 percent, 16 of 22 sites. Publishers and media: 61.3 percent, 119 of 194 sites. SaaS and B2B software: 95.3 percent, 936 of 982 sites. Professional and B2B services: 96.8 percent, 331 of 342 sites. Healthcare and clinics: 92.7 percent, 217 of 234 sites. Financial services: 95.8 percent, 366 of 382 sites. Local and multi-location businesses: 94.5 percent, 138 of 146 sites. ## All four measures, side by side | Sector | Domains | Allow agents | Readable home page | Any act surface | Any payment file | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ecommerce and retail | 256 | 94.5% | 83.4% | 3.5% | 5.6% | | Bookings, travel and hospitality | 32 | 72.7% | 75% | 0% | 0% | | Publishers and media | 227 | 61.3% | 86.2% | 1% | 0.5% | | SaaS and B2B software | 1,246 | 95.3% | 90.4% | 7.2% | 0.3% | | Professional and B2B services | 377 | 96.8% | 95.5% | 3.6% | 0% | | Healthcare and clinics | 279 | 92.7% | 88.8% | 4.1% | 3.3% | | Financial services | 448 | 95.8% | 92.1% | 2.3% | 0% | | Local and multi-location businesses | 180 | 94.5% | 90.1% | 1.2% | 6.4% | | All crawled domains | 13,071 | 84.4% | 84.9% | 2.1% | 0.6% | Sectors are assigned from the Ora leaderboard category where a domain has one, and by a small keyword list on the domain otherwise. 10,026 crawled domains fit no sector and count only in the last row. The [methodology](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards/methodology) explains each count. ## Download the data - [scorecards-2026-11-04.csv](https://amireadyforagents.com/data/scorecards-2026-11-04.csv)One row per sector plus one for the whole crawl.

The sample is 32 domains, a complete first edition. Most rows come from Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. ## The four numbers - 73%allow the four main AI agents 16 of 22 sites with a readable robots.txt let GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended in at the root - 75%show readable text on the home page 15 of 20 home pages gave a plain fetch 150 words or more of text, not a script-only shell - 0%publish any act surface 0 of 29 sites answered with an MCP manifest, an OpenAPI file, an agent card or agents.json at a standard path - 0%publish a payment or commerce file 0 of 29 sites answered with a UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp.json ## Against the whole crawl | Measure | This sector | All crawled domains | | --- | --- | --- | | Allow main agents | 72.7% (16 of 22) | 84.4% (7,282 of 8,624) | | Readable home page | 75% (15 of 20) | 84.9% (7,457 of 8,783) | | Any act surface | 0% (0 of 29) | 2.1% (216 of 10,385) | | Any payment surface | 0% (0 of 29) | 0.6% (62 of 10,439) | The share allowing the main agents is 11.7 points below the crawl as a whole, and the share with readable home page text is 9.9 points below it. The sample is small, so a few sites can move these numbers by several points; read them as a first edition. ## How this sector was sampled 32 domains fall in this sector. The sector figures use Ora leaderboard categories as stand-ins, not a definition of the sector: Travel & Hospitality (17 rows), plus 15 domains placed by a keyword on the domain name. 29 answered a plain fetch. The percentages use the denominators shown in each row, because a site with no readable robots.txt, or a home page that did not return 200, cannot be counted in that measure. The [methodology](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards/methodology) lists the category and keyword rules. Sector assignment by keyword is rough by design, and a site can sit in the wrong sector; the leaderboard category is the stronger signal. For context, Ora's own leaderboard averaged 48.1 out of 100 over 17 Travel & Hospitality entries on 5 Nov 2026 (vendor-published). ## What to do with it - Ask your web team for the same four checks on your own site: robots.txt rules for the four agents, home page text without scripts, any act file, any payment file. - Take the [bookings and travel guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/bookings) to the meeting where those decisions are made. - Run the [self-check for bookings and travel](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/bookings) to see which of your own answers are open. ## Sources 1.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Methodology: how the sector scorecards are built ## In short The scorecards come from one crawl of 13,071 websites on 4 November 2026, run with a plain client and an honest user agent. Each domain is fetched for robots.txt, the home page and a few discovery files, then counted in a sector and four measures. This page gives every rule and every limit. ## The crawl - Universe: the Tranco list 746WX (the top 10,000 domains), plus every domain on Ora's public leaderboard, plus the platforms and vendors named on this site. 13,071 domains in all. - Client: a plain HTTP fetch with no JavaScript, the user agent Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; agent-readiness-crawl/1.0) and a ten-second timeout. It honours robots.txt for its own name. - Per domain: robots.txt, the home page, the same page asked for as markdown, /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, and twelve discovery paths such as /.well-known/mcp.json, /openapi.json, /agents.json and /.well-known/ucp.json. - Stored: extracted fields only, never page bodies beyond the first 200 words. - Status: the whole universe was crawled. ## The four measures Allow the four main AI agents Of sites whose robots.txt was readable, the share whose rules allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended at the site root. A group that disallows everything for every visitor counts as blocking all four. Readable home page Of home pages that returned 200 to a plain fetch, the share with 150 or more words of text that were not a script-only shell. Any act surface Of sites where every path below was probed, the share where any answered 200 with JSON, or YAML for openapi.yaml: /.well-known/mcp.json, /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /agents.json, /.well-known/agent.json, /.well-known/agent-card.json. Any payment file Of sites where the path below was probed, the share that answered 200 with JSON: /.well-known/ucp.json. A site that did not answer, or whose robots.txt told our client to stay away, is left out of the measures it could not be counted in. Each percentage shows its own denominator for that reason. ## How a domain gets a sector Domains from Ora's leaderboard carry a category, and the category decides the sector. Domains from the Tranco list carry none, so a small keyword list on the domain name decides, first match wins, in the order shown. | Ora leaderboard category | Sector | | --- | --- | | E-commerce | Ecommerce and retail | | Commerce Tools | Ecommerce and retail | | Travel & Hospitality | Bookings, travel and hospitality | | News & Intelligence | Publishers and media | | Gaming & Media | Publishers and media | | Developer Tools | SaaS and B2B software | | AI & ML | SaaS and B2B software | | CRM | SaaS and B2B software | | Productivity | SaaS and B2B software | | Communication & Support | SaaS and B2B software | | Data & Analytics | SaaS and B2B software | | Legal & Compliance | Professional and B2B services | | Marketing | Professional and B2B services | | HR & Recruiting | Professional and B2B services | | Healthcare | Healthcare and clinics | | Payments & Fintech | Financial services | | Consumer | Local and multi-location businesses | | Real Estate & Construction | Local and multi-location businesses | | Sector | Keywords | | --- | --- | | Healthcare and clinics | health, clinic, hospital, pharma, medic, dental, doctor, therapy | | Financial services | bank, finance, capital, credit, insurance, loan, invest, wallet, mortgage | | Bookings, travel and hospitality | travel, hotel, flight, airline, airways, resort, cruise, vacation, holiday, booking, tours | | Publishers and media | news, times, herald, gazette, tribune, journal, magazine, daily | | Ecommerce and retail | shop, store, mart, outlet, fashion, buy, deals | | Professional and B2B services | consult, advisory, legal, lawyer, accounting, attorney | | SaaS and B2B software | software, cloud, saas, devops | | Local and multi-location businesses | realty, estate, homes, property, restaurant, cafe, coffee, pizza | 10,026 crawled domains match neither rule and appear only in the all-domains row. Categories not mapped to a sector, such as Infrastructure or Security, are left out of the sector rows. Of the 13,071 domains crawled, 10,886 were reachable. The eight sector rows hold 3,045 domains, 2,593 placed by category and 452 by keyword. These totals are the all-domains row and the sums of the sector rows in the [scorecards dataset](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards). ## Headline numbers from the whole crawl | Measure | Share | Count | | --- | --- | --- | | GPTBot disallowed at the root | 13.9% | 1,198 of 8,624 readable robots.txt files | | ChatGPT-User disallowed | 6.9% | 595 of 8,624 | | ClaudeBot disallowed | 13.1% | 1,132 of 8,624 | | PerplexityBot disallowed | 7.9% | 682 of 8,624 | | Google-Extended disallowed | 12.1% | 1,040 of 8,624 | | CCBot disallowed | 14.9% | 1,283 of 8,624 | | Content-Signal line in robots.txt | 7.4% | 641 of 8,624 | | Home page answered 401 or 403 to our client | 12.9% | 1,359 of 10,565 home pages fetched | | Served an llms.txt file | 24.6% | 2,600 of 10,565 | | Answered a markdown request with markdown | 7.9% | 835 of 10,565 | | Carried JSON-LD on the home page | 54.0% | 4,743 of 8,783 home pages that returned 200 | | Home page was a script-only shell | 3.5% | 307 of 8,783 | | Published any act surface | 2.1% | 216 of 10,385 | | Published a UCP profile | 0.59% | 62 of 10,439 | ## Ora's figures in the sector guides The Ora block on each sector guide reads one saved response: a single GET of Ora's leaderboard API on 5 November 2026, which listed 3,453 sites. The response is kept in this site's source with its date, and no figure is typed in. A sector is read through the Ora categories in the table above. The count is the number of listed sites, the median is the middle score (the mean of the two middle scores when the count is even), the middle half runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile by linear interpolation, and the three leaders are the highest scores, with ties broken by name. Ora's cached scores for the 24 leaders came from GET /api/score for each domain, one request a second. The counts of checks came from GET /api/checks and the totals and layer averages from GET /api/stats, which reported 132,085 ranked companies. Nothing was posted and no scan was started. Every figure is Ora's and vendor-published. The leaderboard lists a subset of the companies Ora ranks, and its entries were scanned on 123 different days from 7 Apr 2026 to 5 Nov 2026. Read a sector median as a yardstick, not as a census. ## Limits - A plain fetch sees what a plain client sees. A site that serves agents something different from what it serves our client is not measured. - Our client has a clear name. A site that refuses unknown automation may have refused us, and counts as a refusal here, which is also what a customer's unknown agent would meet. - Sector assignment by keyword is rough, and a leaderboard category is Ora's, not ours. - Only the paths listed were probed. A site can offer an act surface or a payment route that is not at one of them. - One crawl is one day. The next edition will move these numbers. ## The API, the MCP server and the ask endpoint The scorecards, the self-check questions and the ten decisions are also served to agents, as the [API and MCP server](https://amireadyforagents.com/developers) page documents: an MCP server at `/mcp` with five read-only tools, a REST API under `/api/v1` described by [openapi.json](https://amireadyforagents.com/openapi.json), and an NLWeb `/ask` endpoint that searches the rows and pages and returns schema.org objects with a source URL each. Every surface reads the published files under `/data/` when it answers, so a tool result and the page it cites come from the same edition, and a count in a result is the count in the CSV. Nothing writes and nothing needs a credential. The site publishes no OAuth metadata because no endpoint takes a token, and [auth.md](https://amireadyforagents.com/auth.md) says so. ## Reproducing a number 1. Take the sector's domains from the leaderboard category or keyword rule above. 2. Apply the four conditions to each row of the crawl. 3. Divide as shown in each row's own count. The slicing script ships with this site's source, and a test recomputes one sector from the crawl rows and checks it against the published numbers, so a change in either cannot pass unnoticed. ## Sources 1.

The sample is 227 domains, a complete first edition.

The sector figures use Ora leaderboard categories as stand-ins, not a definition of the sector: Gaming & Media (74 rows), News & Intelligence (36 rows), plus 117 domains placed by a keyword on the domain name. 221 answered a plain fetch. The percentages use the denominators shown in each row, because a site with no readable robots.txt, or a home page that did not return 200, cannot be counted in that measure. The [methodology](https://amireadyforagents.com/scorecards/methodology) lists the category and keyword rules. Sector assignment by keyword is rough by design, and a site can sit in the wrong sector; the leaderboard category is the stronger signal. For context, Ora's own leaderboard averaged 48.6 out of 100 over 36 News & Intelligence entries on 5 Nov 2026 (vendor-published). ## What to do with it - Ask your web team for the same four checks on your own site: robots.txt rules for the four agents, home page text without scripts, any act file, any payment file. - Take the [publishing guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/publishers) to the meeting where those decisions are made. - Run the [self-check for publishing](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/publishers) to see which of your own answers are open. ## Sources 1.

Nothing you answer leaves this page. Next step: [confirm it with a scan](#confirm-scan). Your answers stay in this browser tab. Nothing is stored or sent. The PDF is made by your browser from this page. ## Confirm it with a scan Your answers show what your business has decided and checked. A scan shows what a visitor, human or agent, gets from your public pages. For leaders we recommend [Ora’s scan](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=self-check): one score from 0 to 100 and a grade a board can track, the leaderboard of your sector to compare against, and a real agent sent through a task with its Journey test. Scanning is free and needs no account. What it does not do: it reads public pages only, it publishes no data on repeat scans (Ora says two runs of the same scan agree within a couple of points), and its fixing service is a waitlist.

Self-check from amireadyforagents.com. Answers were scored in the browser and never sent anywhere. ## How the score works A yes scores 2 points, not sure 1 and no 0. Each area becomes a percentage of its possible points, and the five areas count equally. The level comes from the overall score, and the weakest area caps it at one level above its own. The [readiness levels](https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-levels) page shows the five levels, and the [what-if calculator](https://amireadyforagents.com/readiness-calculator) lets you test a plan. The self-check measures what your business has decided and checked. It does not scan your site. To confirm it, [run a scan](https://amireadyforagents.com/confirm-your-self-check-with-a-scan): the one we recommend is Ora's, and [which tool to use](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool) says why. The [tools that check](https://amireadyforagents.com/tools-that-check) page names two more. ## Versions for eight sectors Each sector version keeps the same 18 questions, swaps in examples from the sector and adds two questions that only matter there. Extra questions count inside their own area. - [Ecommerce and retail](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/ecommerce)Extra questions: which AI shopping surfaces already check out your products; whether agents that do not identify themselves may shop in your store. - [Bookings, travel and hospitality](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/bookings)Extra questions: whether you are listed on the booking surfaces agents use; whether availability for a date can be read without starting a booking. - [Publishers and media](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/publishers)Extra questions: whether AI systems may train on your articles and index them for search, decided separately; whether to charge AI crawlers for access. - [SaaS and B2B software](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/saas)Extra questions: whether an agent can sign up for a trial without a human on your side; whether docs, pricing and limits are public pages a plain fetch can read. - [Professional and B2B services](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/services)Extra questions: whether an agent can request a quote or book a first call without a phone call; whether you have written down what an agent must never submit on a client's behalf. - [Healthcare and clinics](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/healthcare)Extra questions: what an agent may and may not do for a patient on your site; whether patients can book you through the assistants they already use. - [Financial services](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/finance)Extra questions: what an agent may see, compare and pre-fill before a customer applies; whether rates and fees are readable by a comparison agent on the day it asks. - [Local and multi-location businesses](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/local)Extra questions: whether Google's AI may call your locations and your Business Profiles are current; whether each location can take a booking from the platforms agents search. ## What stays on this page Your answers stay in this browser tab. There is no form submission, no analytics event on an answer and no stored result.

A scan shows what a visitor, human or agent, gets from your public pages. For leaders we recommend [Ora’s scan](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=self-check): one score from 0 to 100 and a grade a board can track, the leaderboard of your sector to compare against, and a real agent sent through a task with its Journey test. Scanning is free and needs no account. What it does not do: it reads public pages only, it publishes no data on repeat scans (Ora says two runs of the same scan agree within a couple of points), and its fixing service is a waitlist.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Tools that check agent readiness ## In short Scanners that check agent readiness exist, they are free, and your web team can run them in minutes. This page names three, and we recommend Ora's, for the reasons on the tool choice page. A scanner reports on files, settings and page features. It cannot make leadership's decisions, and it does not show that an agent finished a task. ## Three free scanners [Ora's scan](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=tools) is the one we recommend. It scores any public domain from 0 to 100, is free without a key, card or signup, and your web team can run it with npx ax audit. Cloudflare's [isitagentready.com](https://isitagentready.com/) is a free scanner that checks discoverability, content accessibility, bot access control, protocol discovery and commerce. [is-agentic.com](https://is-agentic.com/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=tools-that-check), built by Vercel with Ora and tuned for content sites, runs every scan on Ora's engine. ## What a scanner cannot decide for you - Which AI bots you welcome. That is [a decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/which-bots-to-allow). - Whether an agent may finish a purchase. That is [a decision](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions/agent-completes-purchase). - Whether your policy pages say what you mean. A scanner checks they load. - Whether agents finish the task. Only a run of an agent, or your own walk through as a guest, shows that.

The self-check scores each area and the weakest one caps your level, so the areas are worked in order. ## The areas and their questions | Area | The question | What it covers | Self-check questions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Find | Can agents find you? | Whether AI crawlers and assistants are allowed in, and whether they can locate your important pages. | 1, 2, 3, 4 | | Read | Can agents read you? | Whether products, prices, policies and articles are available as text an agent can parse. | 5, 6, 7, 8 | | Act | Can agents act on your site? | Whether the main task (buy, book, subscribe, request a quote) can be completed through standard forms or a documented interface. | 9, 10, 11, 12 | | Pay | Can agents pay? | Whether full prices are visible before the last step, and whether your payments team has a position on purchases an agent starts. | 13, 14, 15 | | Trust | Can agents be trusted, and trust you? | Whether you can tell verified agents from unknown automation, and whether your terms and policies are public. | 16, 17, 18 | ## The order to work in Work find and read first. In Ora's experiment the two changes that stopped an agent were both about these areas: an answer hidden in script, and a refusal returned to agent user agents. Act and pay follow, because there is little point improving checkout for a visitor that cannot read the product page. Trust runs through all of them, since it decides who you let in and who answers for the policy. - 19 Oct 2026 Ora's 19-configuration experiment (190 probes) found only two changes stopped retrieval: an answer hidden in JavaScript (0 of 5 for plain fetch) and a 403 to agent user agents (0 of 5 for both clients).

A site that is easy to read and impossible to pay is still a site where the job does not finish. The scoring rule reflects that: the final level can be at most one above the weakest area's level.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # How to read your self-check result ## In short The self-check gives a dial of five area scores and one level from 1 to 5. Read the weakest area first, because it caps the level. Treat each not sure as an open question with an owner, and each no as a finding to send. The level describes your answers, not your site, so confirm it with a scanner. ## The dial and the level Each arc of the dial is one area, filled in proportion to its score. The number in the middle is the level. If the weakest area holds the level back, the result says so and names the area. | Level | What it means | First step | | --- | --- | --- | | 1, Hidden | Agents are likely to have trouble finding or reading you at all. | Start with the find and read questions. Ask your web team what your robots.txt and bot protection allow today, and whether key pages show their text without JavaScript. | | 2, Found | Agents can probably reach you, but much of what they need is missing or unclear. | Agents can get in. Make sure what they find is readable: prices, availability and policies as text, and structured data on product, event or article pages. | | 3, Readable | Agents can read most of what matters, but completing a task is uncertain. | Look at the act and pay questions. Walk through your main task as a guest and note every step a person has to rescue. | | 4, Actionable | Agents can read you and complete some tasks; a few gaps remain. | Decide how you treat agents that act for customers: verification, fraud rules and who owns the policy. | | 5, Prepared | By your own answers, the foundations are in place. Confirm them with a scanner and your web team. | Confirm your answers with an automated scanner and your own analytics, then revisit the self-check when standards change. This site is reviewed monthly. | ## Treat answers as work items - A no is a finding. Send the sentence beside the question to the owner. - A not sure is also a finding: nobody here knows. Name someone to find out. - A yes is a claim. Check the important ones with a scanner or by walking the task as a guest. The result is most useful when several people take it separately and compare.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Making pages readable for AI agents: text, structure and markdown ## In short Agents read your pages as your server first sends them. Put the main text, prices and policies in that first response, not behind script, in an image or in a PDF. Structured data and markdown copies help some surfaces but did not decide whether an agent got the answer in Ora's experiment. Readable text comes first. ## Text first A page is readable to an agent if its main text, prices, availability and policies are in the first response from the server. If they appear only after scripts run, a plain-fetch reader sees an empty page. The evidence is stark: - 19 Oct 2026 In Ora's 19-configuration experiment (190 probes), hiding the answer inside a JavaScript payload stopped a plain-fetch client on 5 of 5 topics while a JavaScript-running client still passed.

It is a request, not a lock. Enforcement happens at your CDN or bot protection, which is where 2026 changed the most: Cloudflare now separates Search, Agent and Training traffic and sets new defaults. Make the two say the same thing. ## Asking versus enforcing robots.txt lists, by visitor name, the parts of your site a visitor may or may not fetch. Well-behaved crawlers follow it. The standard says it is not access control. Enforcement is the job of bot management at your CDN, host or firewall. - 1 Sep 2022 RFC 9309 states that robots.txt rules are not a form of access authorization; enforcement needs bot management.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # Why AI agents get stuck on websites: six common walls ## In short Agents stall on six walls: an answer that needs script to appear, a refusal returned to anything that looks automated, prices and terms that are not text, a CAPTCHA or mouse-only widget in the task, a custom sign-in, and nobody who owns the rules. Most dead ends are silent, and the agent answers from somewhere else. ## Six walls 1. Script. The answer exists only after JavaScript runs, and a plain fetch sees an empty page. 2. Refusals. A firewall or bot rule returns an error to anything that looks automated, including a customer's agent. 3. Hidden terms. Prices, fees, delivery and cancellation sit in an image, a PDF or a pop-up. 4. Challenges. A CAPTCHA or a mouse-only widget sits in the middle of the task. 5. Custom sign-in. A login screen the agent cannot recognise and the person cannot approve. 6. No owner. Marketing, security and engineering each hold part of the rules, and nobody holds all of them. ## What happens at the wall Most failures are silent. The agent does not report a dead end to you, because it is not working for you. It reports to its user, using whatever it found elsewhere. - 8 Oct 2026 Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026) that in about 99 percent of journeys that hit a dead end on a site, the agent answered anyway from what it found elsewhere.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Vendors for AI agents, by type ## In short The list names 36 vendors in five types: 8 agent surfaces, 5 readiness scanners, 12 visibility platforms, 9 web platforms and 2 agency types. Each profile gives dated, sourced facts, plans and prices, standards the vendor states, two checks and what it does not do. Everything was read on 5 November 2026; rows are alphabetical. ## How the list was built A vendor is listed when its own pages state what it does for a business's site, for AI answers or for a customer's agent. A name found only in a roundup is not listed. The 36 profiles hold 289 facts, each with the page it came from and the day it was read, drawn from 73 pages. Prices are shown as each vendor's page showed them on the day of reading. Where a page does not say which product a price belongs to, the profile says so and does not choose. Where a page changed between two readings, both are kept with their dates. Two checks appear wherever a vendor has a domain: Cloudflare's isitagentready.com scan and Ora's cached score, each with its date and method. They measure different things. Ora is itself a vendor on this list and also supplies one of the two checks, so its own row carries the same two checks as every other row. Nothing is ordered by score. Every vendor homepage was requested once on 5 November 2026 by a plain client that names itself and obeys robots.txt, and the answer is printed on the profile as it came back, whether or not it was a 200. Agencies appear as two types and no agency is named. ## Browse by type - [Agent surfaces](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/by-type/surface)8 vendors - [Readiness scanners](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/by-type/scanner)5 vendors - [Visibility platforms](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/by-type/visibility-platform)12 vendors - [Web platforms](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/by-type/web-platform)9 vendors - [Agency types](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/by-type/agency-type)2 vendors - [What to ask a vendor who says agent ready](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/what-to-ask)Five questions put to four examples ## Agent surfaces (8) | Vendor | Type | What it does | Standards stated | Pricing model | Checks, dated | Last read | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Amazon Alexa+ and Buy for Me | Agent surface | Amazon's assistant answers and books through partner services, and its Buy for Me feature buys from brands' own websites inside the Amazon app while the brand handles delivery and returns. | 1 supported: robots-ai-rules | Subscription;

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # What to ask a vendor who says agent ready ## In short Five questions separate tools that test whether an agent finished a task from tools that count mentions: does it show its evidence, name the fix, publish prices, measure after the fix and work with your stack. Ora's answers come first, then Scrunch, Cloudflare and an agency, scored on the same questions from pages read on 4 and 5 November 2026. ## Ora's answers, first Ora is the scan this site recommends to leaders, so its answers come first and are scored by exactly the questions put to the others. On pages read on 5 November 2026 it answers three of the five questions yes and two partly; none is a no. Scores any public domain or MCP server on how agents find, read, use and pay it, runs real agents on a task (Journey), and publishes lab research; the fixing product is waitlisted. | Question | Answer | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | | Does it show the evidence behind the score? | yes | Every score breaks down into four layers and named checks, with a public methodology and agent journey traces. (source) | | Does it name the fix? | yes | The CLI and report list failing checks ranked by impact. (source) | | Are prices published? | partly | Scanning is free and published; the fixing product has no published price and is waitlisted. (source) | | Does it measure after the fix? | yes | A subset of checks can be re-run to verify a fix (POST /api/scan/checks), and scores are cached for comparison. (source) | | Does it work with your stack? | partly | Scans any public URL regardless of platform, but not private or login-gated pages. (source) | - Does not scan private or login-gated pages. - Fixing product not generally available on 5 Nov 2026. - Does not track how often AI answers mention your brand. The two partial answers are the limits to carry into a purchase decision: scanning is free but the fixing product has no published price, and the scan reads public pages only. The [tool choice page](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool) shows how Ora compares with the other scanners and why it is the recommendation. ## The five questions at a glance | Question | Ora | Scrunch | Cloudflare | An agency | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Does it show the evidence behind the score? | yes | partly | yes | ask | | Does it name the fix? | yes | partly | yes | ask | | Are prices published? | partly | yes | yes | ask | | Does it measure after the fix? | yes | yes | yes | ask | | Does it work with your stack? | partly | not stated | partly | ask | Ora is scored by the same questions as the others. The agency column is a list of what to require, since agencies differ. ## Scrunch An AEO platform that tracks how a brand appears in AI answers and sells Agent Pages, an AI-friendly version of a site served to agents. | Question | Answer | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | | Does it show the evidence behind the score? | partly | Reports prompt results and page audits for AI visibility; task completion by agents is not what it measures. (source) | | Does it name the fix? | partly | Page audits were included on 4 November (5 on Starter, 10 on Growth); AXP generates an agent version rather than fixing the source site. (source) | | Are prices published? | yes | Starter and Growth prices were on the public pricing page on 4 November 2026. (source) | | Does it measure after the fix? | yes | Re-runs tracked prompts over time to show change in AI answers. (source) | | Does it work with your stack? | not stated | The pricing page did not say on 4 November 2026 which platforms AXP supports or which plans include it. (source) | - Does not test whether an agent can complete a booking or checkout on your site. - Did not publish which plans include AXP on 4 November 2026. On 5 November 2026 Scrunch's pricing page listed one Core plan at 250 US dollars a month and put AXP under Enterprise, so the 4 November answers above are out of date; the [Scrunch profile](https://amireadyforagents.com/vendors/scrunch) has both readings. ## Cloudflare CDN and security network that runs the free isitagentready.com scanner and sells controls over which AI crawlers and agents reach a site, including pay per crawl. | Question | Answer | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | | Does it show the evidence behind the score? | yes | The scanner lists each check by category (discoverability, content, bot access control, protocol discovery, commerce) with pass or fail. (source) | | Does it name the fix? | yes | The scanner page points to the easiest fixes first, such as a valid robots.txt with AI bot rules and sitemap directives. (source) | | Are prices published? | yes | Scanner free; AI traffic controls available on every plan including Free. (source) | | Does it measure after the fix? | yes | Rescan any time; Radar adoption data updated weekly. (source) | | Does it work with your stack? | partly | The scanner works on any URL; the controls and Markdown for Agents need the site to run through Cloudflare. (source) | - Does not run a real agent through your checkout or booking flow. - Its controls apply only to sites proxied through Cloudflare. ## An agency A digital or SEO agency offering "agent readiness" work, scored here on what to require from any agency, since offers vary. | Question | Answer | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | | Does it show the evidence behind the score? | ask | Require a before scan from at least one public scanner and screenshots of what a plain fetch sees. (source) | | Does it name the fix? | ask | Require each fix named by AgentReady identifier or scanner check name. (source) | | Are prices published? | ask | Require a fixed price per fix or per sprint, not a retainer for "AI visibility". (source) | | Does it measure after the fix? | ask | Require the same scanners rerun after delivery, plus one agent journey on the main task. (source) | | Does it work with your stack? | ask | Require named experience on your platform (Shopify, WordPress, Next.js and so on). (source) | - Cannot change platform defaults such as Shopify or Microsoft agent channels; those are your settings. - Cannot guarantee AI answer mentions, which vary each time a question is asked. ## How to use this Ask the same five questions of any vendor in writing and compare answers, not scores.

Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # What is a good agent readiness score? ## In short A good score is a relative one. Across 145,922 sites scanned, Ora reported an average of 44 out of 100 on 5 November 2026, and only 7 percent reached B or above. A B starts at 70 and an A at 86. The median on Ora's own leaderboard was 54, so 70 puts you well ahead. ## The grade bands and where companies fall | Grade | Ora's label | Score | Companies | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A+ | Leading | 95 to 100 | 135 | 0.1 percent | | A | Agent-Ready | 86 to 94 | 649 | 0.5 percent | | B | Competitive | 70 to 85 | 8,447 | 6.4 percent | | C | Needs Work | 48 to 69 | 47,885 | 36.3 percent | | D | At Risk | 28 to 47 | 47,368 | 35.9 percent | | F | Unusable | 0 to 27 | 27,601 | 20.9 percent | **How 132,085 ranked companies spread across the 0 to 100 scale.** Number of companies per score band: 2,796 in 0 to 9, 8,621 in 10 to 19, 21,201 in 20 to 29, 24,585 in 30 to 39, 22,357 in 40 to 49, 25,071 in 50 to 59, 18,223 in 60 to 69, 7,078 in 70 to 79, 1,726 in 80 to 89, 416 in 90 to 100. Ora's stats API, 5 Nov 2026. Most of the weight sits in the middle: 72.1 percent of ranked companies grade C or D. Only 784 grade A or better. ## Where a typical site loses points **Average share of the available points earned, by layer.** Discovery 35 percent, Access 44 percent, Usability 37.5 percent, Payments 4.6 percent. Ora's stats API, 5 Nov 2026. The layer weights are 20, 30, 40 and 10 points. By the layer averages, Discovery averages 35 percent, Access averages 44 percent, Usability averages 38 percent, and Payments 4.6 percent. Payments matters little to a site that sells nothing and a lot to one that does. One caution on the average of 44: Ora's Community category holds 126,957 of the 132,085 ranked companies, so the all-sites figures describe a typical scanned site more than a business like yours. The sector medians on [how competitors in your sector score](https://amireadyforagents.com/how-competitors-in-your-sector-score) are the fairer comparison. ## What to aim for - Above the median for your sector. Across the 3,453 sites on Ora's leaderboard the median was 54; the median for each of your sector's categories is on the sector guide. - No layer near zero. A strong total can hide a layer of Usability or Access that agents hit first. - B, which Ora labels Competitive and starts at 70, as the first target for a site that sells or books online. About 1 in 14 ranked companies had reached it. - A score that holds after each release, rescanned by your team. Ora says the same scan run twice converges within a couple of points, so read a move of one or two points as noise.

The leaders were picked for their score, so the gap shows what high scorers share, not what causes a high score. Ora's Community category holds 126,957 of the 132,085 ranked companies, so the all-scans column describes the typical scanned site, not a sector peer. ## The leaders and their four layers | Sector | Site | Score | Discovery | Access | Usability | Payments | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ecommerce and retail | apparel.monster | 98 | 89 | 100 | 100 | 100 | | Ecommerce and retail | trychannel3.com | 92 | 93 | 92 | 89 | 100 | | Ecommerce and retail | anakin.io | 88 | 92 | 92 | 84 | n/a | | Bookings, travel and hospitality | RIU | 72 | 93 | 77 | 57 | n/a | | Bookings, travel and hospitality | Skyscanner | 62 | 89 | 56 | 53 | n/a | | Bookings, travel and hospitality | Kayak | 61 | 93 | 73 | 37 | n/a | | Publishers and media | magichour.ai | 89 | 80 | 97 | 87 | n/a | | Publishers and media | beehiiv.com | 88 | 84 | 94 | 86 | n/a | | Publishers and media | ZoomInfo | 78 | 89 | 87 | 66 | n/a | | SaaS and B2B software | getcargo.ai | 98 | 94 | 100 | 98 | n/a | | SaaS and B2B software | YouSpot | 98 | 95 | 99 | 99 | 100 | | SaaS and B2B software | Primitive | 96 | 86 | 99 | 98 | 100 | | Professional and B2B services | frase.io | 89 | 93 | 94 | 83 | n/a | | Professional and B2B services | lusha.com | 86 | 89 | 88 | 84 | n/a | | Professional and B2B services | bluevine.com | 81 | 91 | 81 | 75 | n/a | | Healthcare and clinics | overdrive.health | 80 | 86 | 77 | 79 | n/a | | Healthcare and clinics | avironactive.com | 79 | 83 | 93 | 65 | n/a | | Healthcare and clinics | syntra.com | 77 | 86 | 76 | 73 | n/a | | Financial services | Lago | 93 | 94 | 98 | 87 | n/a | | Financial services | Forter | 92 | 89 | 100 | 86 | 100 | | Financial services | blindpay.com | 90 | 100 | 90 | 85 | n/a | | Local and multi-location businesses | mews.com | 77 | 79 | 79 | 74 | n/a | | Local and multi-location businesses | claytonfarms.com | 75 | 86 | 73 | 71 | n/a | | Local and multi-location businesses | Starbucks | 74 | 79 | 60 | 82 | n/a | Payments reads n/a where Ora counted no payment checks as applying to the site. Each site name links to its report on Ora. ## What to take from it - These eight checks were chosen because a leader can read them without a developer: readable prices, real about and contact pages, a guide file for AI readers and a robots.txt that lets AI search in. Protocol checks separate the leaders too: 91 percent of the 22 leaders to which it applied earn full credit for OAuth 2.0 support, against 13.7 percent of all scans, and your web team reads those in the report. - Start with the [ten decisions](https://amireadyforagents.com/decisions) that govern those, then give your web team the failed checks from your own scan. - Your own sector's leaders and median are on the [sector guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for); the [side by side page](https://amireadyforagents.com/how-competitors-in-your-sector-score) has all eight. ## Sources 1.

On a ten-criterion rubric scored from each scanner's own pages on 5 November 2026, Ora earned 94 of 100 and the next scanner, StartupHub, 72. Ora covers finding, reading, acting and paying, sends a real agent through a task without an account, and ranks you against peers. Its limits are listed below. ## The pick: Ora Ora is the scan we recommend to a leadership team. It leads on total points, 94 to 72, but is behind on one criterion: tied to open standards, where 2 scanners score higher (3 for Ora, 5 for Cloudflare). How much that matters depends on how a reader weighs the criteria. The reasons, each with its source: - 5 Nov 2026 Ora's check catalogue listed 132 checks on 5 Nov 2026 in four layers: Discovery 16, Access 42, Usability 68 and Payments 6. 106 are verified and count toward the score; 26 are emerging and shown without scoring.

[Your sector's leaderboard numbers](https://amireadyforagents.com/how-competitors-in-your-sector-score) are on their own page. ## What Ora does not do - It reads public pages only. Ora's llms.txt says it cannot scan private or internal sites or login-gated content. - It publishes no data on repeat scans. Ora says the same scan run twice converges within a couple of points, which is a statement, not a dataset. - Its fixing product is a waitlist.

Checks published, 15 points How many checks does it publish? Real agent test, 15 points Does it send a real agent through a task?

Every cell that first read as "not found" was read again on the vendor's own pages before this ranking was published, and a source found there raised that tool's score. Five more scanners were scored and rank below these: Mintlify (53), Lighthouse agentic browsing (39), SEOJuice (31), Microsoft Scope (27) and SiteSpeakAI (18). ## Best for another job StartupHub (startuphub.ai), 72 of 100 The cheapest scan by API, 0.001 USDC a call over x402 with no key, and a Live Agent Run on a free account. Is Agentic (is-agentic.com), 65 of 100 Ora's checks grouped as Essential, Recommended and Bonus for public websites, free, with a CLI and a prompt to fix. Agent Ready (agent-ready.dev), 61 of 100 A pull-request gate on its Pro plan where 69 of its 72 checks map to a published spec, and a plain pass percentage. Cloudflare (isitagentready.com), 56 of 100 A free level read (0 to 5) with no account, and a keyless API and MCP server. ## How a leader runs it 1. Enter your domain at [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=tool-choice), or ask the web team to run `npx ax@0.10 audit` with your address. 2. Write down the score, the grade and the four layer scores. 3. Read the score against your sector's median on the [sector guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for). 4. Send the failed checks, ranked by impact, to the web team with an owner and a date. 5. Rescan after each fix and report the change in the quarterly [board brief](https://amireadyforagents.com/brief). **Take this to your web team**Run Ora's scan on our domain and send me the score, the grade, the four layer scores and the failed checks ranked by impact.
