+ # The Agentic Readiness Index
24
+
25
+ **How ready is the web for AI agents?** This dataset measures the *agentic readiness* of leading websites: how well an AI agent (ChatGPT, Perplexity, an agentic browser) can read, understand, and act on a page. It is the open companion to the study *"Built for Eyes, Not Agents"* (DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.10508.48000).
26
+
27
+ Maintained by **Rahul Kumar** (AI Researcher & Founder, Incrementors). Open data, CC BY 4.0. Contributions and re-runs welcome.
28
+
29
+ ## Why this exists
30
+ Search visibility is measured exhaustively. Page speed is measured continuously. **Agentic readiness — whether the software agents now acting for users can actually use your site — is barely measured at all.** As AI agents mediate a growing share of discovery and purchase, this becomes a first-class metric. The Index is an open, reproducible baseline and a living leaderboard.
31
+
32
+ ## How it's measured (fully reproducible)
33
+ Google Lighthouse 13.3.0, experimental `agentic-browsing` category, one command per site:
34
+
35
+ ```
36
+ npx lighthouse@13.3.0 <url> --only-categories=agentic-browsing --chrome-flags="--headless --no-sandbox"
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ The overall **agentic_score** is a pass-ratio across checks that map to what an agent must do:
40
+
41
+ | Capability | Check column | Meaning |
42
+ |---|---|---|
43
+ | Read | `accessibility_tree` | Is the machine-readable structure well-formed |
44
+ | Understand | `llms_txt` | Valid `llms.txt` telling AI what the site is |
45
+ | Act | `webmcp` | Browser-side WebMCP tools registered |
46
+ | Trust | `cumulative_layout_shift` | Layout stable, not a moving target |
47
+
48
+ `PASS` / `FAIL` / `NA` (not applicable, e.g. capability absent). Scores are single-run on the home page and the category is experimental, so treat individual numbers as indicative; the value is the pattern across the set.
49
+
50
+ ## Columns
51
+ `rank`, `tier` (ai-native / big-brand / pub-saas / smb), `site`, `url`, `agentic_score`, `accessibility_tree`, `cumulative_layout_shift`, `llms_txt`, `webmcp`.
52
+
53
+ ## Key findings (v1, 22 sites, June 2026)
54
+ - Median score **0.50**; mean 0.55. Even leading sites are half-ready at best.
55
+ - **0 of 22** registered browser-side WebMCP — the "act" layer is essentially unbuilt.
56
+ - **68%** failed the accessibility-tree (read) check.
57
+ - Only **23%** served a valid `llms.txt`.
58
+ - **82%** passed layout stability — the human-era metric the industry already optimizes.
59
+ - **Budget does not predict readiness:** the two lowest scores are martech giants Salesforce (0.10) and HubSpot (0.19); a small business scored above Apple, Nike, and Walmart.

91
+ ## Roadmap
92
+ v1 = 22 sites. Planned: expand to 100+ sites, add per-industry indices, re-run quarterly to track the web's agentic readiness over time. To suggest a site or contribute a re-run, open a discussion.
