Agent readiness report

nc-software.com

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

What to fix first

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

1A2
Major AI crawlers allowed
High impact · Low effort
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended. If that is deliberate, nothing to do. If it is inherited from a template or a platform default, add explicit Allow directives — these agents are how a growing share of buyers now reach you.
2B1
JSON-LD present and valid
High impact · Medium effort
Add JSON-LD to the homepage. Organization or WebSite is the baseline, and it is what tells a machine who you are rather than making it infer that from prose.
3B2
Correct schema types for the site type
High impact · Medium effort
Missing: Organization or WebSite sitewide; type-specific markup (Product, Offer). For a ecommerce site, Product or Offer is what lets an agent understand what you actually offer rather than that you exist.
4C1
Form usability
High impact · Medium effort
Fix: 2 of 9 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.
5C4
Machine endpoints and agent manifests
High impact · High effort
Found API documentation link. A second machine surface — an OpenAPI spec or an MCP server — takes this to full marks.

Every check, with the evidence

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

    "Google-Extended"
  ]
}
```
A3Partial
XML sitemap valid and referenced
2/3
Fix: not referenced from robots.txt. A sitemap referenced from robots.txt is how a crawler discovers pages that are not linked from the homepage.
What we captured
```
{
  "exists": true,
  "urlCount": 113,
  "referencedInRobots": false
}
```
A4Partial
llms.txt present
1/4
llms.txt exists but only 0 links carry a description. Add a short description after each link — an undescribed link list gives a model no basis for choosing what to fetch.
What we captured
```
{
  "present": true,
  "anyLinks": 112,
  "llmsFullTxt": false,

A6Fail
No hard interstitial
0/2
Detected: CAPTCHA, Cookie wall. 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.
What we captured
```
{
  "markers": [
    "CAPTCHA",
    "Cookie wall"
  ]
}

JSON-LD present and valid
0/5
Add JSON-LD to the homepage. Organization or WebSite is the baseline, and it is what tells a machine who you are rather than making it infer that from prose.

0/5
Missing: Organization or WebSite sitewide; type-specific markup (Product, Offer). For a ecommerce site, Product or Offer is what lets an agent understand what you actually offer rather than that you exist.
What we captured

    "type-specific markup (Product, Offer)"
  ],
  "siteType": "ecommerce",

Semantic HTML structure

1/4

Headings and landmarks are how a machine builds an outline of the page. One h1, no skipped levels, and real main/nav/footer elements — all template-level fixes, applied once.

What we captured

{
  "problems": [
    "https://nc-software.com: 4 h1 elements",
    "https://nc-software.com: missing nav, footer",
    "https://nc-software.com/docs: missing nav, footer",

}

0/3
Fix: 1 title(s) outside 15–70 characters; 1 description(s) outside 50–160 characters; 6 page(s) missing og:title, og:description or og:image.

Canonical and duplication hygiene

1/3

Fix: 3 page(s) missing or with a mismatched rel=canonical. Duplicate hosts split whatever authority the page has earned.

What we captured

{
  "hostVariants": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.nc-software.com",

Form usability
4.33/5
Fix: 2 of 9 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.

  "hasBreadcrumb": false,

```

  ]
}
```
C5Partial
Commerce actionability
1/4
Fix: no product page reachable within the crawl depth; no Offer schema carrying price and availability; no guest or express checkout signal detected. Agentic commerce depends on an agent being able to read a price and reach a checkout without an account.
What we captured
```
{
  "offerSchema": false,
  "cartReachable": true,
  "expressCheckout": false,
  "productPageFound": false
}
```

Verifiable identity
2/4
Fix: no Organization schema. sameAs links to a company profile are how a model corroborates that you are who the page says you are.

  "siteType": "ecommerce",
  "hasPrivacy": true,
  "hasReturns": true,
  "hasShipping": false
}

D4Partial
Freshness signals
3/4
Fix: no visible dates on content. Staleness is a ranking signal for models deciding what to cite.
What we captured
```
{
  "sitemapUrls": 113,
  "withLastmod": 113,
  "visibleDates": false,
  "modifiedLast90Days": 65
}
```

D5Fail

Identity consistency

0/3

Fix: site name differs across title, og:site_name and schema name; no og:image. An unexplained name mismatch reads as a signal the site may not be what it claims.

What we captured

{
  "title": "NC Software - Logbook Pro, APDL - Airline Pilot Logbook, Pilot Logbook Binders, Printing Services, iPhone and iPad apps for pilots, Android apps for pilots",
  "hasFavicon": true,
  "hasOgImage": false,
  "ogSiteName": "",
  "schemaName": ""
}

D6Partial
security.txt
1/2
security.txt is present but invalid: no Contact field; no Expires field. An expired Expires field makes the whole file non-conformant, so this fails even though the file was correct when it was written.
What we captured
```
{
  "valid": false,
  "hasContact": false
}
```
