# factory.ai: agentic web grade F

Score 0 (coverage 0 + breadth 0 + conformance 0); 0 standards observed across 0 of 9 steps; checked 2026-10-19T00:42:48Z. This grades the agent-facing files published at factory.ai, not the organisation's products.

## Cheapest next steps

1. llms.txt: one Markdown index file; the most widely read agent-facing file (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/llms-txt/)
2. AI Crawler User-Agent Tokens in robots.txt: state what AI crawlers may do in robots.txt you already serve (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/ai-crawler-tokens-robots/)
3. 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.
