    What would improve this stage

    • Provide delegated credential rotation, revocation, retry, and recovery paths without requiring unrestricted human intervention.

What works

  • Provision: Usable credentials or delegated access are delivered through a documented flow.

What blocks agents

  • Evaluate: Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.
  • Sign up: No stable signup entrypoint was available.
  • Pay: The required checkout cannot be operated by an agent.
  • Operate: Recovery is available only for some failure modes or requires human intervention.

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.
