State of Agent-Ready B2B Websites 2026

The web is starting to serve humans and software agents. This report asks how prepared B2B websites are.

Report chapters — no audit charts
Research in progress

First audited sample in preparation. No percentage claims or charts are published.

RELEASE STANDARD

Methodology is publishable before findings are.

Eli can publish the question universe, schema, definitions and quality controls before a benchmark release. It will only publish an aggregate when the underlying observations are complete, reviewable and described with their coverage and limitations. Until then, this page makes no performance, ranking or customer-outcome claim.

Research questions

Can agents identify product, pricing/limits and forms; are actions explicit; are boundaries clear; are high-impact actions confirmed; are outcomes observable?

Sample design

Final release states site count, sectors, geography, collection dates, inclusion criteria and audit version. Do not claim vague hundreds of sites.

Responsible disclosure

Aggregate sensitive findings and do not publish exploitable weaknesses; named examples must be verified public patterns.

FAQ

Questions about the research design and release boundary.

Agent-ready means?

Structural readiness for understanding and supported interaction.

Autonomous purchases?

Only if methodology safely permits.

Accessibility?

Yes, one layer.

Security weaknesses?

No exploitable details.

Submit sites?

Only if sampling avoids bias.
