Proof of practice
Last updated July 6, 2026We practice what we check
It would be easy to publish a wall of screenshots claiming an assistant loves us. We don't, because we can't prove most of it, and neither can anyone else. So this page does the one thing that is real and verifiable: it runs our own sites through our own AI-readiness engine and shows the results, gaps and all, with a button to re-run the scan live right now.
No invented citations. No fabricated ranking lift. No borrowed vendor percentages dressed up as ours. Where we have no evidence yet, this page says so plainly. What we can stand behind is that our data is clean and machine-readable, and you can check that yourself in seconds.
Our own sites, scored by our own engine
These are real results from the same code behind the free checker, captured on July 6, 2026. Not idealized: where a check warns or fails on our own site, it shows. Hit “Re-scan now” on any card to run it live and confirm the numbers for yourself.
caffeinecommerce.com
MagentoTwo honest notes on our own result. Our platform sniffer guessed “Magento” from a string on the page. We run on Next.js, so that heuristic is imperfect, and we keep it visible rather than special-case our own domain. And our Products score is low on purpose: we are an agency site with no storefront, so the Product and Offer checks have nothing to pass. The score reflects the site we actually are.

app.caffeinecommerce.com
ShopifyThe AgentReady app's own marketing surface. It publishes FAQ schema and an Offer (our pricing) that the scan reads, so Trust and Products score higher here than on the agency site. The one hard fail is Product schema: the app markets software, not physical products, so there is no product feed to carry it.

No resultThe scan couldn't resolve this host on the capture date, so there is no result to show. We list it here rather than quietly drop it: an honest empty is better than a borrowed number. When the docs subdomain is live, its real scan appears here.
2 of 3 properties returned a live result on the capture date. Each card links its score to the exact checks behind it. Want the weights? Read the methodology.
Reproducible evidence
Assistant citations, logged as they happen
When an AI assistant genuinely cites one of our pages, we record it here with the date and the exact prompt, so it can be reproduced. Until then, this space stays honestly empty.
No assistant citations logged yet
This is deliberately empty. We log real, dated citations here as they happen, each with the verbatim prompt that produced it, so anyone can reproduce it. We will not fill this space with invented screenshots or borrowed numbers. When an assistant genuinely cites one of our pages, the record shows up here with its date and prompt.
What this actually buys you
Clean data is hygiene, not a magic ranking lever
We are careful about what structured data, llms.txt, and agents.md do and don't do. Here is the honest version.
What it does
- Lets an agent read who you are, what you sell, and at what price.
- Makes your pages parseable instead of a guess from raw HTML.
- Future-proofs you as agent conventions (agents.md, UCP) standardize.
What it doesn't do
- It does not force any assistant to cite you. Nobody can promise that.
- An llms.txt file has no proven ranking or citation lift on its own.
- It is not a substitute for actually being allowed in robots.txt.
External industry findings (cited by direction, not as our results)
- Independent studies have found no measurable ranking or citation lift from publishing an llms.txt file. We treat it as machine-readable hygiene and future-proofing, not a ranking lever. (Reported industry testing of llms.txt, 2024–2025)
- Complete product identifiers and structured data are reported to improve how often products are matched and surfaced. We cite the direction only; we do not claim a specific percentage as our own result. (General industry reporting on product structured data)
