Proof

We audit ourselves. In public.

This site, scored live by its own engine. Warts and all.

Why we do this.

Why this page exists

On 20 September 2026, before any of this was built, we ran our own engine against our own site and against a competitor’s. Ours scored 51.5 on AI answer readiness. Theirs scored 62.6. We had no sitemap, no llms.txt, no structured data on any page, and a robots.txt that was thirty lines of comments and not a single directive.

That was an uncomfortable result for a product that sells answer engine optimisation, and there were two available responses. One was to stop measuring. The other was to fix it and publish the number permanently, including on the days it gets worse. This page is the second.

It is also the only claim on this site that cannot be faked, because the audit runs in your browser against our live origin. If you do not believe the numbers, the same engine is available as free tools and you can point them here.

What this page deliberately doesn’t show
  • Authority. Nothing here measures a backlink profile, and links are most of what authority means. A score whose main input is missing does not render as a number, on our site or on yours.
  • A full-site score. This is the homepage, not a crawl. Checks that need more than one page to mean anything are excluded rather than answered from one.
  • Rankings or traffic. Thymesnow is new and has neither. Publishing a traffic chart would be the first dishonest thing on this site.

Your turn.

Same engine, same treatment, on your site. No account, no card.
