# Agent readiness self-check

## In short

Eighteen questions in five areas: find, read, act, pay and trust. Answer yes, not sure or no. The dial fills as you go, the weakest area caps your level, and the whole thing runs in your browser. Nothing is stored, sent or counted. Each question says why it matters and what to take to your team.

Answer at least one question in each of the five areas to see your level. 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.

[Scan your site with Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=self-check) · [Which tool should our team use](https://amireadyforagents.com/which-agent-readiness-tool) · [What the scan tests](https://amireadyforagents.com/confirm-your-self-check-with-a-scan)

### Your sector on Ora’s leaderboard

**Your sector on Ora's leaderboard: scores of the 184 listed ecommerce sites.** Number of sites per score band: 31 in 30 to 39, 37 in 40 to 49, 47 in 50 to 59, 40 in 60 to 69, 22 in 70 to 79, 5 in 80 to 89, 2 in 90 to 100. The median is 55. A B starts at 70 and an A at 86. Ora's leaderboard, 5 Nov 2026.

On 5 Nov 2026 Ora listed 184 sites in Commerce Tools and E-commerce. The median was 55 and the top score 98; the highest three were apparel.monster 98, trychannel3.com 92 and anakin.io 88. Scores come from scanning sites, not from answers, so scan yours and find its place on this chart.

The self-check for your sector shows its own chart: [ecommerce](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/ecommerce#confirm-scan), [bookings and travel](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/bookings#confirm-scan), [publishing](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/publishers#confirm-scan), [software](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/saas#confirm-scan), [professional services](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/services#confirm-scan), [healthcare](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/healthcare#confirm-scan), [financial services](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/finance#confirm-scan), [local business](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check/local#confirm-scan).

### Questions to take to the team

No open questions from the answers given.

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. The PDF export is your browser's own print function, laid out for one page: the dial, the five area scores and the questions you answered no or not sure to.

The questions come from the [five areas](https://amireadyforagents.com/university/five-areas-of-agent-readiness) the site has used since its first edition. The list of decisions behind them is on the [ask your web team](https://amireadyforagents.com/ask-your-web-team) page.
