# AnswerReady

> Scan any public website against an evidence-backed AEO, GEO, and SEO rubric, then inspect every score contribution and validated PlatPhorm enrichment result.

## Scoring contract
- Rubric version: 2026-08-22.1
- Category weights: AI Discovery 25; Crawlability 20; Structured Meaning 18; Answer Quality & Trust 23; Reach & UX 14
- Pass earns full weight, warn earns half, and fail earns zero. Skipped, not applicable, unavailable, and error outcomes lower coverage instead of being counted as passes or failures.
- Every criterion requires source evidence; scoreVerified confirms deterministic recomputation.
- JSON-LD quality checks schema.org context, typed nodes, core properties, and stable absolute @id values.
- External PlatPhorm inputs are schema-validated before sending. Outputs are size-bounded and schema-validated; invalid or unavailable evidence stays degraded.
- Scans of *.platphormnews.com add a separate public-read-only Phase 1 contract assessment covering routes, health, discovery, OpenAPI/auth, trust, MCP ping, trace state, Vercel metadata state, and secret hygiene.

## Boundaries
- When to use AnswerReady: for a bounded rollup of website, agent, search, trust, sitemap, browser, API, and MCP readiness evidence.
- When not to use AnswerReady: for destructive browser actions, authenticated private-data testing, high-volume crawling, longitudinal regression monitoring, or caller network testing without explicit browser consent.
- Scans are public, read-only, bounded, and rate-limited.
- Localhost, private IPs, link-local targets, credentialed URLs, and unsafe redirects are blocked.
- Report persistence is best-effort and reports honest degraded status when Upstash is unavailable.
- PlatPhorm contract results are not folded into the general AEO/GEO/SEO score and external sites are not assessed against network-only requirements.
- Future mutation, publishing, sync, reporting, and administrative actions require PLATPHORM_API_KEY.
- /.well-known/ai-plugin.json is not applicable because AnswerReady exposes OpenAPI and MCP directly.
