AI Readiness Benchmark

This is a ranking of named homepages, measured under the same rules on the same days, by how prepared they are for AI answers. It says who is eligible and ready — not who is cited; nobody can measure that without querying the engines at scale.

Every site that refused the fetch is listed with its reason, because a refusal is a finding.

How to read this

Ready, not cited

AI Readiness is whether a page is structurally prepared to be retrieved and quoted. It is not a count of citations, which no tool can take without querying the engines repeatedly.

A skipped site is a finding

A site that asked us not to is honoured; one that served a bot challenge or did not answer gets no score. All three are published with the reason, never dropped to flatter a median.

One engine, one wave

Every row was measured under engine 6.7. Scores are not comparable across engine versions, so a future wave is compared only against the same engine.
