## What's inside

- The overall picture: average score, distribution and the share of “fully ready” stores

- Check-by-check results: access, product data, shipping and returns

- Platform and sector comparisons (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento and more)

- Who shuts agents out: well-known brands versus other stores

- A ten-step fix list ranked by score gain, with code examples

- Method, sample and limits: what the report does and does not say

## Method

Each store was measured with the 12 checks of the first version (v1) of Specoria’s free agent-readiness test. Scores run from 0 to 100; weights and the full list are in the appendix. The current test uses 27 checks.

**Technical readability**
AI bot access (robots.txt), sitemap, llms.txt, whether the homepage answers automated requests and whether the price can be read without running JavaScript.

**Product and policy data**
schema.org Product and Offer data on the product page, brand and GTIN/MPN, and shipping and return terms in machine-readable form.

**Two vantage points**
The same scan ran from a home connection and from cloud egress, showing how security layers treat cloud-originated traffic too.

The index is independent: no store names are published, only aggregate results; no store pays to be included.

## Who it's for

- E-commerce and digital marketing leads

- Product, catalog and SEO teams
