FARO v0.6.1

FARO Full Audit Report

Your website may look fine to humans.
Now find out if AI Operators can actually use it.

The Free Scan shows the surface signals. The FARO Full Audit shows the real operating truth: whether AI agents can understand your business, extract key facts, verify trust, complete buyer actions, and recommend you with confidence.

Built for ecommerce, B2B suppliers, marketplaces, SaaS, agencies, and service businesses preparing for AI-mediated discovery, comparison, and buying.

Scan vs Audit

Your scan found signals.
The Full Audit finds the failure points.

A fast scan can tell you if your site has basic machine-readable foundations: crawlability, schema, action surfaces, and operator-facing files. But that is not enough.

AI Operators do not just read websites. They try to act on them. They compare products. Check return policies. Resolve shipping rules. Start checkout. Verify claims. Look for support. Decide whether your business is safe to recommend.

The FARO Full Audit runs deeper tests and turns the result into a client-ready report: what broke, why it matters commercially, and what to fix first.

Static signals

Can your site be crawled, extracted, and parsed?

Operator trials

Can an AI agent complete real buyer tasks?

Trust probes

Can claims, identity, policies, and reputation be verified?

Priority fixes

What should be fixed first to move the FARO Score?

Operability, not visibility

This is not an SEO audit.
This is not a page-speed audit.
This is an operability audit for the AI web.

Search engines rank pages. Humans browse pages. AI Operators use websites as working systems.

They need structured facts, consistent policies, accessible actions, machine-readable permissions, and clear handoff rules. The FARO Full Audit measures whether your website is ready for that world. Not theoretically. Practically.

  • Can an AI Operator understand what you sell?
  • Can it find the right product or service?
  • Can it trust your price, stock, shipping, return, and contact information?
  • Can it reach checkout, booking, quote, or support without guessing?

Inside the report

What you get inside the FARO Full Audit Report

The final deliverable is a structured, client-ready report designed for founders, ecommerce managers, operators, developers, and commercial teams. It gives you the business story first, then the technical evidence behind it.

01 / FARO Score

The FARO Score

Your site receives a score from 0 to 100 across four weighted layers: Static Audits, Operator Trials, Trust Probes, and Manual Review. FARO v0.6.1 uses a 30 / 40 / 20 / 10 architecture, with Operator Trials carrying the strongest outcome signal because they measure whether agents can actually act.

62 PARTIALLY READY
02 / Killer Finding

The Killer Finding

The one finding that explains the commercial risk in plain English. Not "your schema is incomplete." More like: "An AI buyer can reach your product, but cannot trust the store enough to complete the purchase."

⚠ Killer Finding
The agent could get close to buying — but missing operator contracts and incomplete UCP negotiation stopped it from acting like a real delegated customer.
03 / Operator Trials

Operator Trial Evidence

We test how an AI Operator experiences your site through task-based trials: understanding the business, extracting product facts, checking policies, reaching checkout, using support paths, testing UCP where relevant, and avoiding hallucinations. The latest full report completed 31 / 31 Layer B tasks with task evidence, score signals, and compute spend.

04 / Hard caps

Critical Blockers

Some failures are not "small issues." They cap how ready your site can be — anti-bot pages, missing buy/book/quote paths, undeclared account-aware pricing, contradictions between schema and UI, or no deliberate Operator surface at all.

The highest-impact fixes, in order. Each one explains what is broken, why it matters commercially, what to change, difficulty, expected FARO impact, who should own it, and whether it belongs in the Ready Kit.

Ready Kit Recommendation

The audit does not stop at diagnosis. It shows the implementation path. For ecommerce and B2B sites that often includes operator contracts, policy hubs, schema reconciliation, product/offer cleanup, UCP hardening, and action maps.

Behaviour, not appearance

We don't just inspect your website.
We put an AI Operator through it.

A real Operator Trial reveals what static checks miss. A page can have products, schema, buttons, policies, and checkout — and still fail when an AI agent tries to use it.

The Full Audit tests whether an Operator can:

  • Understand what your business does.
  • Identify the right product, service, or offer.
  • Extract pricing, availability, shipping, return, and support facts.
  • Detect contradictions instead of blindly trusting the first answer.
  • Traverse checkout, quote, booking, support, or return paths.
  • Use operator-facing surfaces like llms.txt, agent.json, and /.well-known/ucp.
  • Refuse to hallucinate when information is missing.
A website does not become AI-ready because it can be crawled.
It becomes AI-ready when an agent can complete the customer's intent without guessing.

Real findings

The Full Audit turns vague AI-readiness into specific business risk.

Missing operator contract

Your site may have readable pages, but no canonical file telling AI agents what they are allowed to do, where to stop, or how to escalate.

Contract

Checkout almost works — but not reliably

An AI buyer may reach checkout entry, then hit an error, modal, hidden state, missing policy, or unclear permission boundary.

Checkout

Structured data contradicts visible content

A product may appear sold out in the UI while JSON-LD says it is in stock. Agents notice the contradiction and lose confidence.

Contradiction

UCP exists but is not operable

A protocol endpoint may be present, but if it is blocked, incomplete, missing transports, or not negotiable, agents cannot use it.

Protocol

Support and quote paths are unclear

Even if a customer can figure it out manually, an AI Operator may fail to find a compact, machine-readable path for support, returns, or bulk orders.

Support

Plus 26 more failure modes…

From hallucination rate and policy contradiction to anti-bot caps, account-aware pricing, and refund path opacity — the full audit identifies and explains every blocker.

Full inventory

Built for every reader

A report your founder, developer, and commercial team can all use.

The FARO Full Audit is written in plain English first, technical evidence second. It is designed to be understood by decision-makers and actionable for implementation teams.

The invisible decision

Your future customer
may never visit your website.

They may ask their AI assistant:

  • "Find me the best supplier."
  • "Compare these two products."
  • "Check if this company ships to me."
  • "Can I return this if it doesn't fit?"
  • "Order the same product we bought last month."
  • "Find a reliable provider and book a call."

If your website cannot answer those requests clearly, consistently, and safely, the agent may skip you, misquote you, or recommend a competitor.

The FARO Full Audit shows where that happens before it becomes invisible lost revenue.

Find me a reliable industrial fastener supplier that ships to Texas, with bulk pricing and 30-day returns.

FAQ

Common questions about the Full Audit.

No. SEO helps search engines discover and rank pages. FARO measures whether AI Operators can understand, verify, and use your website.
No. Lighthouse measures technical quality for human web experiences. FARO measures AI operability: whether agents can extract facts, trust information, and complete tasks.
Because AI agents do not behave like humans. They need explicit facts, consistent policies, structured data, reliable action paths, and machine-readable permission boundaries.
You receive the priority fix list and a Ready Kit recommendation. The audit becomes the implementation roadmap.
Usually no. Most FARO issues are not visual design problems. They are operator-layer problems: missing files, unclear policies, weak schema, inconsistent product data, inaccessible actions, or missing protocol surfaces.
The audit records that as part of the result. Discovery status, blocked paths, replay evidence, and limitations are documented transparently.
Yes — if the required gates can be passed after fixes. FARO Ready requires more than a score: layer floors, critical task completion, hallucination rate, no active critical blockers, and trust-probe clearance all matter.

Do not wait until AI buyers skip you silently.
