Answer a short, weighted self-assessment across five categories to get an overall readiness score, a tier, and the categories to fix first.
How to use this tool
Answer each yes, partial, or no question across Technical access, Structured data, Content structure, Entity consistency, and Citation-worthy content.
Watch your overall 0-100 score and readiness tier update as you answer.
Check the per-category subscores in the results panel to see where points are missing.
Review the 'What to fix first' list for your 2-3 weakest categories.
Click through to the linked tool for a weak category to start closing that gap.
Retake the quiz after making changes to see how your score shifts.
Technical access
15% of score
A gate, not a differentiator: if crawlers can't reach or render your pages, nothing else in this score matters. Usually pass/fail, so it carries less weight than the categories below.
Structured data
20% of score
Helps a system resolve who and what a page is about faster than prose alone, but it describes content rather than creating it.
Content structure
25% of score
Clear H1s, front-loaded answers, and descriptive headings determine whether a model can find and lift a usable passage at all.
Entity consistency
15% of score
Consistent naming and facts across your own site and other properties reduce the chance a model merges you with the wrong entity or repeats stale details.
Citation-worthy content
25% of score
Specific, sourced, buyer-relevant content is what actually gets quoted. This carries the most weight because it's the substance the other categories only make reachable.

Useful context for applying this tool to your site.
How is this different from the AI readiness checklist?
The AI readiness checklist tracks 20 unweighted checkboxes with no scoring. This tool asks fewer, more targeted questions across five weighted categories and produces an overall 0-100 score, per-category subscores, and a prioritized list of what to fix first.
Why do categories carry different weights?
Technical access is treated as a gate rather than a differentiator, since a blocked crawler or a JavaScript-only page stops everything else from mattering, so it carries a lower weight. Content structure and citation-worthy content carry the most weight because they determine whether a page is actually worth quoting once a system can reach it.
Is this a live scan of my site?
No. This is a self-assessment based on your own yes, partial, or no answers, and nothing is sent to a server. Treat the score as a structured way to reflect on your site, not an automated audit.
What does an unanswered question count as?
Unanswered questions score as No, meaning zero credit, so your overall score starts at 0 and only rises as you actually answer each question. This keeps the score from overstating readiness before you've reviewed every item.
