# AI usage policy

> Crawling, model training, commercial use, and attribution rules for the content published on AgenticWebScore. Each topic is stated plainly.

---
What you may do with the content on AgenticWebScore. This policy applies to every human-readable page and every machine surface published here.

## Crawling

Crawling is welcome. Every page is server-rendered HTML with no JavaScript requirement. Named AI crawlers are explicitly allowed in `robots.txt`; there is no wildcard block.

Each page in the page registry, and each article under `/learn/`, also has a markdown twin. It is served for `Accept: text/markdown` and at the page's `.md` path, such as `/methodology.md`.

The 3 routes `/scan`, `/directory`, and `/learn` have no markdown twin. `/verify` and its result pages answer HTML only. A scan report offers its markdown as `status.md`.

- `robots.txt` allows every named AI crawler we know of, and the wildcard group is allowed as well.
- `robots.txt` disallows `/api/` in every group, because a GET there can start a scan of another site. `/openapi.json` describes the endpoints.
- `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` exist so that you can read this site in one request instead of hundreds.
- Published usage signals: `ai-train=no`, `search=yes`, `ai-input=yes`.

## Model training

Do not train models on this site. That is a deliberate limitation of the licence, not an oversight. The rubric text, the check descriptions and the written guidance here are our editorial work.

Every group in `robots.txt` carries a `Content-Signal` line with `ai-train=no`. These 6 documents send the same signal in a `Content-Signal` header: `/llms.txt`, `/llms-full.txt`, `/AGENTS.md`, `/sitemap.md`, `/ai.txt`, and `/auth.md`.

> Search indexing, retrieval and answer generation with attribution are permitted. Training a model on the corpus is not. If you want training rights, ask — we prefer to grant a narrow licence rather than have the signal ignored.

## Commercial use

You may use the published scores, grades and fingerprints commercially, including in client reports and sales material, provided that:

- You reproduce the fingerprint alongside the score and link to its verification page.
- You do not present a score as a certification, an endorsement, or a claim about anything other than the public surfaces that were measured.
- You do not re-publish a score as if it were independently produced.

## Attribution

When you quote the rubric or a measurement, credit AgenticWebScore and link to the check page you took it from. Each of the 61 checks has a stable URL, so there is always a precise place to point at.

## Contact

Questions about this policy, licensing requests, takedown requests and corrections: hello@agenticwebscore.com. If you believe a published measurement is wrong, send the fingerprint and the reproduction command — we will correct the record rather than defend it.
