Agent-Ready Grader
AI-readiness scoring instrument — running live in this site's /lab
Grades any public site's readiness for the machine readers (crawler access, extractability, snippet eligibility, structured data, semantic HTML, metadata, vitals), with the model published and the report ungated.

01
the problem
The tools in this niche either scored nothing (a pass/fail audit list) or scored everything the same. And robots.txt readers miss the silent case: a firewall that lets the file through and blocks the crawler.
02
the engineering
Seven weighted categories, three gates (fail any and the grade caps at C), a frontier bonus for llms.txt and agent endpoints. The crawler check reconciles robots.txt against live user-agent-spoofed fetches. Training-bot blocks are never penalised; citation-bot blocks are.
Rate-limited, spend-capped, and exposed as an MCP tool with the same engine, cache and limits as the page.
03
the proof
This site dogfoods it: 86/B before its SEO layer, 100/A after. A Leeds dental practice went 74/C → 99/A with the fixes the report named. Every grade on the lab's league table is a real run.
