Deterministic /pricing.md & /answers.md Specification for B2B SaaS
Updated 2026-11-14 · Grounded in an HTTP/HTML readiness check across 2459 audited B2B SaaS domains (87.6% missing /pricing.md over HTTP) · Live reference: /pricing.md

When crawlers fetch a marketing page without executing client JavaScript (for queries such as “Best SOC2 [Category] API under recurring SaaS subscription (verify current vendor pricing)”), raw HTML lacks plain-text fee schedules. Publish /pricing.md as text/plain; charset=utf-8 with an explicit Markdown table, unit metrics, and SLA terms:
