Scoring Rubric — Five Pillars, 100 Points
The rubric scores every property in five pillars summing to 100 points.
| Pillar | Weight | Measures | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Crawl & Discovery | 20 pts | robots.txt with AI-bot rules, sitemap validity, canonicals, Link headers, no-JS discoverability | Engineering |
| 2. Content Legibility | 25 pts | Markdown content negotiation and URL-suffix fallback, SSR, token-efficient output, llms.txt, semantic HTML | Engineering + Content |
| 3. Answer-Engine Quality | 30 pts | Entity clarity, E-E-A-T, answer-first structure, FAQ / definition / comparison patterns, freshness governance, primary-source citations (Framix-only — not in Cloudflare’s rubric) | Content + SEO |
| 4. Bot Access & Trust | 10 pts | Content Signals in robots.txt, AI-bot governance, Web Bot Auth verification (when site originates bot traffic), AI-crawler analytics | Engineering |
| 5. Capabilities & Commerce | 15 pts | API Catalog (RFC 9727), OAuth metadata (RFC 8414/9728), MCP Server Card (SEP-2127), Agent Skills index, A2A Agent Card, x402 payment flows | Engineering (conditional) |
Re-normalisation by property type
Section titled “Re-normalisation by property type”Pillar 5 drops to N/A on pure-content sites with no APIs or transactional surface; weights re-normalise across pillars 1–4. On agent-targeted SaaS or commerce properties, Pillar 5 weight increases to 25 pts, drawn from Pillar 3.
How this maps to Cloudflare’s IsItAgentReady
Section titled “How this maps to Cloudflare’s IsItAgentReady”| Cloudflare category | Framix pillar | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Discoverability | 1 | Same scope |
| Content Accessibility | 2 | Same scope |
| Bot Access Control | 4 | Cloudflare adds Web Bot Auth as a check |
| Protocol Discovery | 5 | MCP Server Card, Agent Skills, WebMCP, API Catalog, OAuth |
| Commerce | 5 | x402, MPP, UCP, ACP — tracked in Cloudflare, not yet scored |
| (none) | 3 | Framix-only. Authority, citations, and answer structure. |
The five pillars map onto the two-layer model — Pillars 1, 2, 4, 5 measure Layer A (Agent Readiness); Pillar 3 alone measures Layer B (GEO Visibility).
