Policy postureWhether anyone actually decided. Deliberate means robots.txt names AI crawlers by token. Inherited means it names none, so whatever AI policy exists is a side effect of generic rules. Blanket means one rule for everyone. Absent means no robots.txt at all. More

Inherited

robots.txt exists and names no AI crawler at all. Whatever AI policy this site has is a side effect of generic rules it inherited, most often from its platform or CDN default.

Access archetypeThe shape of the policy rather than its size. Open, no training, assistant only, selective, walled, metered, or undeclared. More

Open

Every answer-surface crawler is allowed. An agent asked about this site can read it.

How this compares to its peers

A score out of 100 is not information on its own. Against the sites running the same platform and sitting behind the same edge network, it is: this site is at or ahead of every cohort it belongs to, which usually means the ceiling is the platform rather than the site. Cohorts under 25 measured sites are never published, so every comparison here is against a real group.

Extraction profile

How cheap this page is for a retrieval pipeline to chunk. Recorded and published, deliberately not scored: it describes a shape rather than a pass or a fail, and compressing it into the grade would destroy the useful part.

blackrock.com has earned the Agent Friendly mark

Free to embed, no account and no fee. It regenerates from the nightly crawl, so it stays true, and it links back to this page so anyone can check the working in one click. What the mark means.

Shape

Circular. For a footer or an about page.

Theme

Follows the reader’s own light or dark setting. Note that this tracks the reader, not your page, so a dark-mode visitor sees the dark mark on a light site.
