How we check
A set of 32 automated checks probes each live site (never the repo, never a status file) across serving, page head, structured data, links, indexing, security, AI surface, speed and proof. Different kinds of site are scored against different subsets of those checks. A daily unattended probe runs at 08:00 local time. That is where the conformance percentages above come from, and it is why we publish the failures too. Details are in Field Notes.
More builds are in progress for other businesses. We will list them here when they are live and the owners agree.
