What works

  • Sign up: A stable signup entrypoint is available.
  • Pay: The required price or no-charge status is explicit before commitment.
  • Provision: Successful onboarding automatically activates usable access.
  • Operate: A documented API or tool interface is available for operation.

What blocks agents

  • Evaluate: Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.

Method, policy, and immutable identifiers

Complete, fresh evidence for the core service lifecycle first applies hard stage severity, then grades the share of applicable evidenced signals that are constrained. Optional blocker probes affect the grade when established and remain visible as unknown when public evidence cannot establish them.

Any incomplete, contradictory, unsupported, or non-fresh required evidence produces an unrated profile. A failed Evaluate, Sign up, or Pay stage derives D; a failed Provision or Operate stage derives F; otherwise constrained-signal ratio derives A+ through C.
