Readiness score
A measurement of how prepared your website is to be read, trusted and quoted by AI systems. It is a diagnostic of your site's readiness. It is not a promise of rankings, traffic or actual AI mentions.
Updated August 21, 2026
A readiness score condenses seven signals — from technical accessibility to evidence and trust — into a single 0 to 100 diagnostic of how ready your site is to be found, trusted and quoted. It is deterministic: the same site scores the same way every time, and every point traces back to something observed on your pages. It measures readiness, not outcomes — no tool controls what an AI system ultimately says.

- Sourceability. How usable your content is as a source. It asks whether there are concrete facts and figures, attributed claims, and information laid out in extractable structures like tables and lists.
- Trust signals. Checkable evidence that you are a real, accountable business. This includes an about page, contact and legal details, references or case studies, and claims backed by sources. AI systems favor accountable pages over anonymous ones.
