The New York Times — Agent Detected
How The New York Times ranks in the Atlas
Agentiview Atlas scores use AVS (Agent Viability Score) as the composite verdict. AVS combines ARS (Agent Readability) and AAS (Agent Action Score), weighted 40/60 toward action because discoverability without transactability does not close deals.
| AVS Range | Band | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 91–100 | Agent Native | Default agent recommendation. Retrieval patterns compound over time. |
| 76–90 | Agent Ready | Agents reliably recommend and can transact autonomously. |
| 66–75 | Agent Eligible | In consideration sets. Fixable gaps at the decision layer. |
| 46–65 | Agent Considered | Included in research. Routed to readier competitors at decision. |
| 21–45 | Agent Detected | Agents find the site but cannot verify or transact. |
| 0–20 | Agent Invisible | Not present in agent evaluations. |
How Agentiview scores agent readiness
ARS (Agent Readability Score) measures how well autonomous AI agents can find, crawl, parse, and verify a business. It covers 10 dimensions including schema markup, llms.txt compliance, entity definition, permission clarity, and structured data completeness.
AAS (Agent Action Score) measures whether agents can take autonomous commercial action — machine-readable pricing, API accessibility, MCP protocol support, trust verification, and transactable interfaces. AAS is weighted 60% in the composite AVS because discoverability without transactability does not generate revenue.
Scores are produced by the Agentiview Atlas scorer v1.2.0 and derived from crawls of the company's homepage and up to 12 additional pages. Scores reflect the state of the site at scan time and may change as companies update their infrastructure.
