# Seed: 46 point Door Gap
- Site: seed.com
- Scanned: 2026-09-08
- Scan type: Basic scan
- Business type: unknown
- Report: https://www.seconddoor.io/r/seed-854v4k
- Scanner version: 12
Automated clients are blocked at the door while real browsers are served normally, creating a wall that stops agents from discovering or acting on the business.
## Scores
| Measure | Score |
| --- | --- |
| Humans | 68/100 |
| Agents | 22/100 |
| Composite | 45/100 |
| Door Gap | 46 points |
| Percentile | 7th |
The human score is the mean of the four human dimensions, the agent score the mean of the six agent dimensions, and the Door Gap the difference between them.
## What the machine actually did
The site refused automated access at seed.com, so the agent could not reach the site at all.
- blocked 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
- missing read the site's own guide for language models
- blocked find out what pages exist
- missing find a contact route for machines
- missing find a published agent interface
- missing find an agent plugin manifest
- missing find out whether verified agents are recognised
- missing read the homepage as data rather than as a page
- missing find a machine readable API spec
- missing read the developer documentation
- blocked read the prices without running JavaScript
- ok      walk the way a visitor would, to a signup form or a product
## Top issues
1. **/, /pricing turn the honest automated client away while serving a real browser, so the search crawlers that would cite the page are turned away by a rule about the client.** (machine_discoverability)
2. **No developer documentation is linked from the homepage, in raw HTML or the rendered page, so integration starts with a search engine.** (programmatic_onboarding)
3. **No API documentation or OpenAPI specification is published, leaving no programmatic path for agents to understand or interact with the service.** (programmatic_onboarding)

## Files generated from this scan
- **Let verified assistants through** at `notes`, 1 hour, developer. Verify: The next scan opens the homepage and the key pages in a real browser and under the search crawler names, and every one is served.
- **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.
- **Organization structured data** at `homepage`, 15 minutes, developer. Verify: The next scan reads Organization and WebSite nodes in the homepage JSON-LD and the structured data check passes.
- **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.
- **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.
- **llms.txt** at `/llms.txt`, 15 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan fetches /llms.txt as text and the llms.txt check passes.

## The agent door
- **machine_discoverability** 39/100. The site publishes a robots.txt that allows major AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and others) and declares a sitemap, but the homepage and pricing page both return HTTP 403 to automated requests while serving real browsers.
- **programmatic_onboarding** 10/100. No API documentation is linked from the homepage in raw HTML or rendered form. No OpenAPI spec exists at any of the 5 standard paths checked. The site offers a self-serve signup form 2 steps from the homepage, but no programmatic path to.
- **pricing_legibility** null/100. Could not verify: this scan did not reach the pages that would show it.
- **agent_aware_instrumentation** 8/100. No MCP manifest is published at any of the 3 standard paths checked. No ai-plugin.json or Web Bot Auth signals are present. The site does not publish any machine-readable interface that would let an agent understand how to interact with it.
- **machine_fetchable_trust** 15/100. No security.txt file is published at /.well-known/security.txt. The homepage refuses automated clients outright with HTTP 403, blocking the honest baseline request before any trust signals could be verified.
- **commercial_rails** 40/100. A self-serve signup form is reachable from the homepage in 2 steps via the 'Get Started' call to action. The form contains 1 field with 0 required fields, so a visitor can proceed without friction.
## The human door
- **steps_to_first_value** 80/100. The primary call to action 'Get Started' leads to a signup form in 2 steps from the homepage. The form asks for 1 field and requires none of them, so a human visitor can complete signup quickly.
- **required_fields** 90/100. The signup form contains 1 field and 0 of them are required. A visitor can proceed through the form without providing any information, removing a major friction point in the onboarding path.
- **verification_walls** 65/100. No verification requirement is visible on the signup form itself. The form does not appear to demand email confirmation, phone verification, or other checks before access is granted, though what happens after submission could not be.
- **error_recovery** 35/100. The single input field on the signup form carries 0 validation rules or constraints. There are no inline error containers or live regions to guide a user if they enter invalid data.
