Score 95 (coverage 70 + breadth 15 + conformance 10); 13 standards observed across 7 of 9 steps; checked 2026-10-19T00:03:13Z. This grades the agent-facing files published at agent-ready.dev, not the organisation's products.

## Manifests

| Manifest | Path | Result | Errors | Warnings |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Agentic Resource Discovery | /.well-known/ard.json | absent |  |  |
| AI Catalog well-known file | /.well-known/ai-catalog.json | valid |  | entries[2] has no description; registries index on it; entries[7] has no description; registries index on it |
| MCP Server Cards (SEP-2127) | /.well-known/mcp.json | errors | name must be reverse-DNS with exactly one slash, e.g. com.example/weather | Content-Type is application/json; SEP-2127 says serve application/mcp-server-card+json; pre-final card shape (url/transport/tools); the final SEP-2127 card uses name, version, description and remotes[]; $schema is not https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/v1/server-card.schema.json; remotes missing: a card with no remotes gives clients nothing to connect to; tools/resources/prompts listed in the card; SEP-2127 excludes primitives (list them live, or under a namespaced _meta key); no ETag |
| Agent2Agent Protocol | /.well-known/agent-card.json | valid |  |  |
| llms.txt | /llms.txt | valid |  |  |
| AGENTS.md | /AGENTS.md | valid |  |  |
| api-catalog: A Well-Known URI and Link Relation to Help Discovery of APIs | /.well-known/api-catalog | valid |  |  |
| AI Crawler User-Agent Tokens in robots.txt | /robots.txt | valid |  | no Agentmap: line (optional convention pointing agents at /.well-known/ard.json) |
| security.txt (RFC 9116) | /.well-known/security.txt | valid |  |  |

## Cheapest next steps

1. Agentic Resource Discovery: a catalog at /.well-known/ard.json lets agents discover your APIs, MCP servers and data in one fetch (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/ard/)

## Rubric

+10 per lifecycle step with a standard observed, counting manifests that validate or that the probe rule for the standard recognises (a valid MCP server card counts for MCP; max 90); +3 per observed standard beyond the first two (max 15); conformance +15 (+10 with one manifest) minus 5 per agent-facing manifest with errors, never below 0 (security.txt is reported, not scored). A+ >= 60, A >= 45, B >= 30, C >= 20, D >= 10.
