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.
All four measures, side by side

| 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 explains each count.
