Last checked

mit.edu is live and passes 10 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (42%). It runs on drupal on Apache over HTTPS.

For AI agents, mit.edu's strongest signals are clean semantic HTML, tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, and a visually stable layout. Average 41% atomic sentences across 1 pages (target 40%+).

Its main gaps are text that is hard for agents to extract, no structured tables or lists, few clear definitions, and no Schema.org structured data. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
