## Scores
| Measure | Score |
| --- | --- |
| Humans | 80/100 (1/4 dimensions) |
| Agents | 67/100 (6/6 dimensions) |
| Composite | 74/100 |
| Door Gap | 13 points |
The human score is the mean of the measured human dimensions, the agent score the mean of the measured agent dimensions, and the Door Gap the difference between them.
## What the machine actually did
The agent got through 10 of 15 requests, but could not find a contact route for machines. It came up empty on 4 other checks too.
- ok      reach the site at all
- ok      find out whether machines are welcome
- ok      ask whether the door opens for requests carrying the AI crawlers' names
- ok      read the site's own guide for language models
- ok      find out what pages exist
- missing find a contact route for machines
- ok      find a published agent interface
- missing find an agent plugin manifest
- missing find out whether verified agents are recognised
- ok      read the homepage as data rather than as a page
- missing find a machine readable API spec
- ok      read the developer documentation
- ok      read the prices without running JavaScript
- ok      find a comparison page worth citing
- missing walk the way a visitor would, to a signup form or a product
## Top issues
1. **No OpenAPI specification was found at the 4 standard paths checked, so a client must be written from prose instead of generated.** (programmatic_onboarding)
2. **No security.txt file is published, leaving agents without a standard way to report security issues or verify the company's security practices.** (machine_fetchable_trust)
The evidence and the recommended fix for each are on the report page: https://www.seconddoor.io/r/otterly-zj76kx
## Files generated from this scan
- **robots.txt rules for AI crawlers** at `/robots.txt`, 10 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan reads robots.txt and finds every search and agent crawler allowed, none of them kept off product or pricing paths.
- **Machine interfaces: where you stand** at `notes`, 10 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan finds the interface you published answering at its well-known path, and that check passes.
- **pricing.md** at `/pricing.md`, 20 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan fetches /pricing.md as text and records pricing as machine readable.
- **security.txt** at `/.well-known/security.txt`, 10 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan fetches /.well-known/security.txt as text and the security.txt check passes.
Each file is written from what this scan found on the site. The content is in the JSON once the evidence is opened: https://www.seconddoor.io/api/reports/otterly-zj76kx
## The agent door
- **machine_discoverability** 100/100. No AI crawler is blocked by user agent rules, a real browser is served the page normally, and key pages render without JavaScript. The site publishes a sitemap with 67 URLs, 14 schema.org types on the homepage, llms.txt, and 19 comparison.
- **programmatic_onboarding** 60/100. Documentation at docs.otterly.ai describes self serve API key issuance, authentication, endpoint examples and code samples. However, the signup page at app.otterly.ai is blocked to automated visitors by robots.txt, so an agent cannot reach.
- **pricing_legibility** 93/100. 33 prices are readable without JavaScript on the pricing page, with no tier routed to sales. Plans are published as Offer structured data. A visitor or agent can compute total cost from the published ladder without running code or.
- **agent_aware_instrumentation** 68/100. An MCP manifest is published, developer documentation describes an API, but only in prose.
- **machine_fetchable_trust** 40/100. No security.txt is published at /.well-known/security.txt. The homepage answers automated requests with structured data and readable content. Trust signals are minimal for an agent deciding whether to integrate.
- **commercial_rails** 40/100. Prices are published in raw HTML, the plans are published as Offer structured data.
## The human door
- **steps_to_first_value** 80/100. The signup page is 2 steps from the homepage. Robots.txt closes app.otterly.ai to automated visitors with 'Disallow: /', so the form itself was not read. A human can reach it in a browser; an agent honouring robots.txt cannot.
- **required_fields** not measured. Could not verify: this scan did not reach the pages that would show it.
- **verification_walls** not measured. Could not verify: this scan did not reach the pages that would show it.
- **error_recovery** not measured. Could not verify: this scan did not reach the pages that would show it.
