Scoring Overview

Every scan produces two scores and a stance classification. The two scores are independent - a site can score high on both. For example, a site may block most AI agents via a well-structured robots.txt (high blocking score) while also having excellent structured data for the agents it does allow (high open score). The UI lets the user toggle between modes.

Outputs

Output	Range	Meaning
Open score	0–100	How well the site serves AI crawlers
Blocking score	0–100	How effectively the site blocks AI crawlers
Stance	OPEN / MIXED / BLOCKING / UNKNOWN	Derived from robots.txt agent rules

Check statuses

Each individual check resolves to one of five statuses:

Status	Meaning	Counts toward score?
pass	Criterion fully met	Yes - full point
warn	Partially met or best-practice gap	Yes - half point
fail	Criterion not met	Yes - zero points
info	Informational only; absence is not a problem	No
skip	Could not be evaluated	No

Stance classification

Stance is derived from the ratio of blocked to total known AI agents found in robots.txt:

Stance	Condition
BLOCKING	≥ 75% of known agents are blocked
OPEN	≤ 25% of known agents are blocked
MIXED	Between 25% and 75% blocked
UNKNOWN	No agent-specific rules found at all
