Four targets.
All locked.
Every tier, every store, every scan runs all four. Never sold separately. Never gated.
AEO
Whether the catalogue can be lifted as a direct answer to a shopper's question.
Engage →GEO
Whether generative engines will cite this store when composing a recommendation.
Engage →AIO
Whether an AI system can correctly parse and act on the record without guessing. Includes transactability as a named sub-score.
Engage →Why four and not one
A single “AI readiness” score hides which system is refusing you. Search engines, answer engines, generative engines and transacting agents read different things and fail for different reasons — a catalogue can be perfectly indexed and still unbuyable by an agent, or richly structured and still excluded from a model’s answer by one line of robots.txt.
Each pillar is scored separately against published criteria, and every weight is published.
