Scorecard for SaaS and B2B software

In short

In the crawl of 4 Nov 2026, 95.3 percent of software sites with a readable robots.txt allowed the four main AI agents, and 90.4 percent of home pages showed readable text to a plain fetch. The sample is 1,246 domains, a complete first edition. The largest share, 389 of 1,246 rows, comes from Ora's Developer Tools category.

The four numbers

  • 95%allow the four main AI agents
    936 of 982 sites with a readable robots.txt let GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended in at the root
  • 90%show readable text on the home page
    965 of 1,068 home pages gave a plain fetch 150 words or more of text, not a script-only shell
  • 7.2%publish any act surface
    80 of 1,115 sites answered with an MCP manifest, an OpenAPI file, an agent card or agents.json at a standard path
  • 0.3%publish a payment or commerce file
    3 of 1,123 sites answered with a UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp.json

How this sector was sampled

1,246 domains fall in this sector. The sector figures use Ora leaderboard categories as stand-ins, not a definition of the sector: Developer Tools (389 rows), AI & ML (208 rows), Data & Analytics (151 rows), Communication & Support (150 rows), Productivity (149 rows), CRM (42 rows), plus 157 domains placed by a keyword on the domain name. 1,141 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 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 59.4 out of 100 over 389 Developer Tools 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 software guide to the meeting where those decisions are made.
  • Run the self-check for software to see which of your own answers are open.
