No letter grade — withheld, not failed

No letter grade is issued because this tool could not read this site's content structure: of the 2351 URLs in its sitemap, 1966 (83.6%) could not be classified into content sections by the reader, and only 14 page(s) could be confirmed as shareable content. That is a limit of this tool's reading, not evidence that the company lacks content — a grade computed from the readable sliver would report a gap in this tool as their failure. What could be observed is scored below at reduced confidence.

Read this before the numbers

This tool was built in a few days, on a stack of stated assumptions. I didn't have the time — or the inside knowledge of what buyers in this category actually optimize for — to be certain these are the metrics that matter most. The four categories and their weights are editorial judgment, not measurement: nobody has proven that these things cause employees to post, and I don't claim otherwise.

Where the evidence comes from: three of the four categories read only what your company has published on its own public site — the part you can fix on Monday. Half of Employee & Culture comes from somewhere else: aggregate counts of how many of your people posted in the last 90 days, from a licensed third-party index of public professional-network activity. Nothing here was scraped from LinkedIn by this tool. Those counts are records in an index, not a census — they undercount, they undercount small companies most, and you can't check them yourself — so each one says so where it appears, a zero is reported as "none in the index" and never as "nobody posts," and a company with fewer than 25 people in the index gets the number reported but not scored. No individual is named anywhere in this report.

To prioritize speed, this particular report was loaded using cached data; it was generated from evidence originally collected on August 31, 2026 rather than live. Reports are cached for 30 days. Every observation below is dated and cited.

What you can hold me to: every number cites its evidence and says where it came from, nothing unseen is guessed at, robots.txt is respected on every fetch, and when this tool can't read a site it says so instead of issuing a grade.

What was found — most fixable first

Ranked by impact × ease of fixing, not by category. Counts describe the pages actually read, and each finding cites them.

Issue

Only 5 of 14 sampled pages carry a visible share control

5 of 14 sampled content pages (35.7%) (sampled from the slice of the site that could be read) carry a visible share control; the rest do not. Nothing on the page invites a reader — or an employee — to share it.

The fix: Add share links or buttons to the content template. Plain links to the platform share endpoints work without any tracking script.

Issue

Only 14% of your dated content was touched in the last year

320 of 2,351 URLs with credible lastmod dates were updated in the last 365 days. A supply this static gives employees little new to share.

Evidence: sitemap lastmod analysis.

The fix: A regular publishing cadence — even monthly — matters more for advocacy than volume.

What's already working

Working

Your homepage share card is complete

The homepage carries og:title, og:description and og:image, so a shared homepage link renders a full preview card.

Evidence: homepage HTML.

What could not be seen

Anything the reader could not observe is listed here rather than guessed at or silently skipped.

Not visible

The reader could not classify most of your site

Of the 2,351 URLs in your sitemap, 1,966 (83.6%) could not be sorted into content sections by the path-based classifier — the unread majority sits under paths like /education (1926), /equipment (9), /send-case (8), /roi (4), /promos (4), /materials (3). That is a limit of this tool's reading, not evidence you lack content, so no letter grade is issued and the volume-based scores below are floors, not measurements.

  • /education — 1926 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /equipment — 9 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /send-case — 8 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /roi — 4 URL(s) that could not be classified

Your robots.txt could not be read

The robots.txt endpoint did not return a usable file (HTTP 404). Crawler and AI-agent policy for this domain is unknown — unknown is not the same as open, and I have not scored it as open.

Evidence: robots.txt fetch.

The fix: Serve a plain-text robots.txt at the domain root. Even an empty or allow-all file makes your crawl policy explicit instead of undefined.

For the record

Note

No llms.txt

No llms.txt file is served. This costs nothing today — the evidence that llms.txt affects anything is weak — so I do not count it against you.

Evidence: llms.txt fetch.

How the numbers break down

Weights: Content Supply 30% · Shareability 25% · Employee & Culture 25% (half what the site says, half what employees do) · AI Discoverability 20%. The weights are editorial judgment about what an advocacy program draws on — not the result of a study. Every row cites the observation behind it and says whether it was read from your site or from the licensed index.

Content Supply — 10.6/100 (reduced confidence)

SignalPointsWhat was observed
Volume floor4.4/4014 shareable pages after collapsing localized duplicates
Section diversity9/302 shareable section(s): case_study, culture
Shareable share0.2/300.6% of the canonical inventory is shareable content
Recency adjustment-3/8320 of 2351 dated URLs updated in the last year (14%)

Fewer than 30 shareable pages: there is not enough material for an advocacy program to run on, which caps this category regardless of quality.

Low-coverage caveat: 1966 of 2351 sitemap URLs (83.6%) could not be classified, so this score describes only the 14 page(s) that could be read and section-sorted. It is a floor, not a measurement of the whole site.

Low-coverage caveat: 1966 of 2351 sitemap URLs (83.6%) could not be classified, so this score describes only the 14 page(s) that could be read and section-sorted. It is a floor, not a measurement of the whole site.

A qualitative read of the careers page (boilerplate vs. real human stories) is not included in this number.

Half of this category is measured from employee posting activity in a licensed third-party index (1152 of 2247 employees covered). Those counts are records in a third-party index, a lower bound the visitor cannot verify independently; the other half is what the website itself shows.

Low-coverage caveat: 1966 of 2351 sitemap URLs (83.6%) could not be classified, so this score describes only the 14 page(s) that could be read and section-sorted. It is a floor, not a measurement of the whole site.

AI Discoverability — not scored

No usable robots.txt was retrieved, so AI-agent posture is unknown for this domain. Unknown is not the same as open, and it has not been scored as open.
