How we measured
- Each store got the same audit as AgentReady's free check: robots.txt rules, live visits as five ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude agents, three sampled product pages, the Universal Commerce Protocol profile, policies and sitemap.
- The score weights access 30%, product data 30%, agentic commerce 15%, trust 15% and discovery 10%.
- Audits ran from our servers in Singapore. Real AI agents visit from their companies' own networks, so firewall results are a strong signal, not proof.
- Lists are chosen by hand from well-known Indian brands and refreshed monthly. Last run September 26, 2026.
