Benchmarks

AI Readiness benchmarks by industry

We have audited 30,738 domains against one deterministic AI Readiness rubric and kept every factor score. These pages report what that corpus says about each industry: the score distribution, and which rubric factors an industry fails more often than everyone else.

Across the whole corpus the median score is 39 out of 100, with the middle half falling between 32 and 45. The rubric scores 19 factors, and a page publishes a rate for one once 30 audits in that industry have scored it. All figures come from rubric version 2026-08-13.

Published industries

11 further industries have been audited but are not published yet, covering 440 audited domains between them. We publish an industry once it reaches 100 audited domains and at least one rubric factor has been scored on 30 of those audits, because below that a median moves several points when a handful of sites change and a ranking of failed factors is mostly noise. Those industries appear here when the corpus catches up.

What these are, and are not

Each page reports the domains we have audited and classified into that industry. That is a sample, not a census of the industry, and it carries whatever bias our crawl selection has. We publish aggregates only and never name an individual audited company. This audit measures citation readiness: how easily AI engines can crawl, extract, and quote these pages. It cannot see the off-site brand footprint (mentions, reviews, third-party coverage) that gates whether AI engines retrieve a brand at all; Kuroma's visibility scans and off-site signals track that side.
