## Cheapest next steps

1. llms.txt: one Markdown index file; the most widely read agent-facing file (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/llms-txt/)
2. 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/)
3. AGENTS.md: instructions for coding agents working on or with the site (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/agents-md/)

## Agent pre-flight & practical readiness

Preferred mode: `blocked`. nomads.com blocks automated clients. Do not spoof a browser user-agent to get past the challenge.

Fetch: `GET https://nomads.com/` The origin blocks automated fetches. Do not retry with a spoofed browser.

Practical readability: exa_parsable no, markdown negotiation no, render `blocked`, HTML quality `blocked`.

AI crawler posture: `waf_challenged` · Assistant access: OpenAI `blocked`, Anthropic `blocked`, Google `blocked`, Perplexity `blocked`, Exa `blocked`.

Readiness subscores: reach 0/20, readability 0/30, capabilities 0/35, conformance 0/15, total 0/100, grade F.

## 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). Lifecycle grade: A+ >= 60, A >= 45, B >= 30, C >= 20, D >= 10. Strict 100-point composite (subscores.total_100 / subscores.grade_100): reach_and_policy (20) + readability (30) + capabilities (35) + conformance (15), where A+ >= 80, A >= 65, B >= 45, C >= 28, D >= 15.
