How visible is your domain to agents?

Agents evaluate domain trust at the infrastructure layer — from the domain name, from machine-readable declarations, from crawler activity — before reading any content. This is the framework for measuring that trust.

The D1–D6 Agent-Trust Domain Metrics score a domain across six dimensions. A domain scoring low on D1 is semantically ambiguous — agents must infer its purpose rather than resolve it directly. A domain dark on D4 has had no AI crawler visits in 90 days — it is absent from agent retrieval pipelines regardless of its content quality.

This assessment framework is grounded in the semantic namespace concept defined at semanticnamespace.org. The implementation protocol for publishing machine-readable declarations lives at agenticnamespace.org.

The Six Dimensions — v0.1

• D1Semantic Name Clarity — can an agent resolve the domain's purpose from the name alone?
• D2Machine-Readable Data Fidelity — JSON-LD, OGP, schema consistency with domain name
• D3Structural Infrastructure — llms.txt, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, agent.json, webmcp.json
• D4AI Crawler Indexing Status — liveness signal across ClaudeBot, GPTBot, Google-Extended
• D5Protocol Trust — DNSSEC, TLS transparency, anti-cloaking consistency
• D6Governance Stability — domain age, registrar security tier, ownership continuity
