2026 Empirical Benchmark: HTTP/HTML & /llms.txt Readiness Across 2459 B2B SaaS Domains
Updated 2026-11-14 · Open machine dataset: /ai/saas-index.json · Full searchable table: /leaderboard/
ASO Studio probed 2459 funded B2B SaaS, AI infrastructure, FinTech, and DevTools domains across 47 HTTP/HTML readiness checks (robots.txt rules for 29 AI crawlers, /llms.txt, /.well-known/ai.txt, /pricing.md, /ai/summary.json, linked Schema.org @graph JSON-LD, and Google AI / WebMCP signals); these figures measure public HTTP responses and HTML metadata rather than querying ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Claude. While the mean score sits at 66.1/100 (median 70/100), 87.6% expose zero plain-text pricing markdown and 99.8% return HTTP 404 on /ai/summary.json.
