Overall = mean of Interrupt Score 100 and Machine-Readability 46 → 73 / 100. The badge is set by the Interrupt Score alone — how scoring works.
Confidence: Provisional (0.3) — Based on Tier 0/1 evidence only (passive checks, no live transaction attempt) — treat the number as a triage signal, not a verified outcome.
Custody posture hasn't been assessed yet.
What your agent can do here
A plain-English read on the probe evidence — each verdict links to the finding behind it.
- Can your agent sign up on its own?Signup flow not yet inspected.
- Can your agent read it without a human?Not yet assessed.
- Can your agent self-serve credentials or a token?Credentials path not yet inspected.
- Can your agent call it without a CAPTCHA?Unknown — live checkout not yet attempted.
Agent-readiness: Yes, with caveats — an AI agent can use Google Maps Platform (Geocoding API) without a human for signup, docs, and credentials, but end-to-end use hasn't been live-verified yet (Provisional confidence).
Machine-Readability Score
Four check groups, equal weight: machine interfaces (OpenAPI, MCP server, llms.txt), browsing efficiency, element discoverability, and discovery/agent access (retrieval-bot robots.txt access, sitemap, schema.org). Each check is tagged with how strong the real-world evidence is that it changes agent behavior — proven, plausible, or emerging — grades are honesty labels, they never weight the score. A separate signal about ease of integration — it never enters the Interrupt Score or badge above.

Findings
How scoring works →Interrupt tier: Low-Interrupt — no interrupts found; interrupt score 100 / 100. It alone drives the badge above; the headline Overall score blends it 50/50 with Machine-Readability.
Every tool starts at 100. Each interrupt found subtracts a penalty of base weight × timing × hardness × evidence — the multiplier values below come from the same rubric tables the score is computed with, so the arithmetic in this matrix reproduces the number exactly.
No interrupts found — no penalties, so the score stays at 100.
Score is in the 95–100 band, but the Zero-Interrupt badge additionally requires a completed live Tier-2 transaction and no hard-blocker finding — no live Tier-2 transaction has verified this flow end to end yet, so it is capped at Low-Interrupt.
Checked — nothing found
A check only turns green when a probe tier capable of detecting that interrupt actually ran and found nothing. Not tested ≠ clean.
- CAPTCHA / bot-challengeNone found — checked at Tier 0 (passive scan)
- “Contact sales” wall (no self-serve path)None found — checked at Tier 0 (passive scan)
- ToS clause banning automated/bot accessNone found — checked at Tier 0 (passive scan)
- Identity / KYC verificationNone found — checked at Tier 0 (passive scan)
