How we scan and score.

The scanner, scoring version, and score history behind the AI readiness numbers referenced elsewhere on this site.

The scanner

We use the Cloudflare Agent Readiness Score, available at isitagentready.com and, since May 12, 2026, inside Cloudflare's own URL Scanner under its Agent Readiness tab (with API access, so a scan can be re-run and reproduced rather than taken on faith). Cloudflare launched the scanner on April 17, 2026. It scores a site from 0 to 100 across five categories: Discoverability, Content, Bot Access Control, API/Auth/MCP discovery, and Commerce.

As of July 20, 2026, tricitiesailab.com scores 100 on the content-scope scan (discoverability, content format, and bot access checks). API and commerce categories are outside the scope of a content site and were not scanned.

What the scan does and doesn't measure

The scan measures technical readiness: whether an AI agent can find, access, and parse a site's content. It does not measure whether AI tools actually recommend a business in a live answer, which also depends on entity authority, reviews, and citations elsewhere on the web. See AI Search Optimization for more on that distinction, including why the same question asked of ChatGPT or Claude twice won't always come back with the same answer.

Comparing against the rest of the web

Cloudflare's own launch post covers where the broader web stands on agent readiness. Read it directly rather than relying on a single pulled-out number: blog.cloudflare.com/agent-readiness. Cloudflare also publishes a weekly Radar dataset tracking adoption of agent standards across the internet, which is the source we'd point to for a wider comparison than our own spot checks.
