Agent readiness report

digitalscientists.com

What an AI agent can and cannot do on this site, measured by an unauthenticated crawl and scored against the published rubric.

Scanned 2026-09-06 · rubric v1.0.1 · scored as a general site · re-scan (results are cached for seven days)

What to fix first

Ranked by impact first, then by how cheap the fix is — the same ordering the engine uses.

1C1
Form usability
High impact · Medium effort
Fix: 1 of 6 inputs have no associated label. A placeholder is not a label — an agent filling your form has no way to know what an unlabelled field wants.
2C4
Machine endpoints and agent manifests
High impact · High effort
No machine-readable endpoint of any kind. Most sites score zero here, which is exactly why it is the cheapest differentiation on this rubric: an agents.json is a static file, and a documented read-only API is usually a subset of something you already run.
3D3
Policies discoverable
Medium impact · Low effort
Fix: no privacy policy linked; no terms page linked.
4B4
Meta and Open Graph
Medium impact · Low effort
Fix: 3 title(s) outside 15–70 characters; 1 description(s) outside 50–160 characters.
5C6
On-site search
Medium impact · Medium effort
No on-site search found. If you have search, expose it as a GET form with a query parameter so an agent can jump straight to results.

Every check, with the evidence

No finding without evidence: each result shows what we actually captured during the crawl.

A6Fail
No hard interstitial
0/2
Detected: Cloudflare challenge. An agent cannot dismiss a consent dialog or solve a challenge — whatever sits behind it is unreachable. Cookieless analytics removes the need for a banner entirely.
