The Agentic Readiness Index

How this index works. Each /report/:domain page is an independent, first-party measurement of 15 signals across robots.txt, JSON-LD, sitemap, content structure, and metadata — the same checks AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) run when deciding whether to cite a site. Sites enter the dataset two ways: organic (a visitor ran the audit at /audit) and seeded (we maintain a hand-curated index of 146 recognized SaaS / tech companies whose AI visibility is industry-relevant for our readers — we run those audits ourselves so this leaderboard is useful from day one rather than waiting for organic coverage). All audits respect a 14-day cooldown between automated re-runs of the same domain.

Why this isn't "scaled content abuse" (per Google's March 2024 update): every /report page contains unique, first-party measurements of a specific domain — not template-filled scaled content. The aggregate stats above (median, percentages, distribution) are derived from those measurements, not generated from templates. The seeded set is small, curated by hand, and limited to recognized brands with genuine search demand for "is X AI-ready"-style queries. Sites without successful body fetches (WAF-blocked) are excluded from rankings rather than masked with default scores; we list them transparently above.
