Methodology
The Agentic Readability Index is the sum of five dimensions
(Accessibility, Renderability, Structure, Structured data and Agentic
surface) over 90 points, expressed as a percentage.
Rubric version: 0.1-uncalibrated.
The rubric is not calibrated against a real citation rate in AI systems: today there is no public ground truth relating technical features to citation. We declare this instead of hiding it.
Declared limitations
- A bot management challenge is not evidence that the real crawler is blocked: our request from an IP that is not the verified crawler's may receive different treatment.
- If the reference browser also fails, the result is marked INDETERMINATE: we never assert a block we cannot verify.
- Dimension F (agentic surface) is exploratory: its absence does not explain any other finding in the report.
