    Every essential target has a stable documented agent-usable interface alternative.

    All essential targets are accessible and executable via usable HTTP endpoints (`https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query` and `https://one.one.one.one/dns-query`) using standard JSON or DNS wireformat interfaces.

    Essential operations have stable readable request, response, and effect semantics.

    Applicable limits, errors, retry, idempotency, cancellation, and reconciliation semantics are documented.

What blocks agents

No stage is established as blocked.

What this grade establishes

14 of 14 graded signals have current supporting evidence. 5 of 5 additional barrier checks are verified.Unknown checks are not a pass or a confirmed blocker. This report is not proof of an end-to-end purchase or service session.

How the grade is derived

A through C grades count Limited stages; D and F reflect Blocked stages by lifecycle severity.

Coverage is complete only when every graded signal has supported, fresh, non-conflicting evidence. Barrier and informational signals do not change coverage; only fresh, supported barrier values that passed their admission evidence rule participate in stage outcomes.

Each stage takes its worst graded signal or verified barrier. A fresh, supported mandatory barrier that passed its admission evidence rule can block that stage; incomplete or stale barrier evidence remains context only. The overall grade is derived from the five stage states.
