Advocacy Grade

Evidence collected August 31, 2026 · 49 polite, robots.txt-respecting requests · every claim cites what it saw

No letter grade — withheld, not failed

No letter grade is issued because this tool could not read this site's content structure: of the 527 URLs in its sitemap, 464 (88%) could not be classified into content sections by the reader. 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.

Opportunity

12 AI user-agents are blocked at your site root

robots.txt disallows 12 of 25 tracked AI user-agents at the root: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, PerplexityBot, Applebot, Applebot-Extended, Amazonbot, meta-externalagent, CCBot, Bytespider, YouBot. This is a tradeoff, not a mistake: blocking protects content from training use, and costs visibility in AI search and assistants that cite sources. robots.txt is advisory, so this describes your declared policy, not enforcement.

Evidence: robots.txt.

The fix: Confirm the block is a decision rather than a default. If AI answer engines matter to how buyers and candidates find you, consider allowing search- and user-fetch-kind agents while keeping training bots blocked — the two can be set independently.

Issue

0 of 24 sampled pages carry a visible share control

None of the 24 content pages sampled (sampled from the slice of the site that could be read) carry a visible share control. 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 4 of 24 sampled pages carry a share description (og:description)

4 of 24 sampled content pages (16.7%) (sampled from the slice of the site that could be read) carry a share description (og:description); the rest do not. The preview card shows the title with no supporting line.

The fix: Emit the post excerpt as og:description in the template.

Opportunity

Your job listings are invisible without JavaScript

Your careers page (https://myriad.com/careers) returns HTML, but the job listings are injected client-side — a plain reader sees a page with no roles on it. Machine readers that do not execute JavaScript (many crawlers and AI assistants) cannot see that you are hiring.

Evidence — careers page probes
  • https://myriad.com/careers

The fix: Server-render at least the role titles and locations, or publish jobs in structured data (schema.org JobPosting).

Issue

Only 1 of 24 sampled pages carry Article structured data

1 of 24 sampled content pages (4.2%) (sampled from the slice of the site that could be read) carry Article structured data; the rest do not. Machine readers cannot tell these pages are articles, or when they were published, or by whom.

The fix: Emit Article (or BlogPosting) JSON-LD with headline, datePublished and author in the content template.

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 527 URLs in your sitemap, 464 (88%) could not be sorted into content sections by the path-based classifier — the unread majority sits under paths like /myriad-genetics-blog (137), /urology (115), /oncology (27), /womens-health (27), /patients-families (20), /healthcare-professionals (17). 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.

Evidence — sitemap URL classification
  • /myriad-genetics-blog — 137 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /urology — 115 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /oncology — 27 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /womens-health — 27 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /patients-families — 20 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /healthcare-professionals — 17 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /managed-care — 12 URL(s) that could not be classified
  • /genetic-tests — 10 URL(s) that could not be classified
Not visible

Content freshness is not observable here

Your sitemap publishes lastmod dates, but they look machine-generated rather than edit history (19% of all lastmod values fall on a single day (2026-04-02), which is the signature of a site-wide rebuild rather than individual edits.; Edits cluster onto 175 distinct days out of a 5034-day range, too few to represent ongoing publishing.), so I cannot read them as freshness and have not guessed.

Evidence: sitemap lastmod analysis.

The fix: Emit real last-modified dates in the sitemap. Credible freshness data helps every machine reader — search, AI, and tools like this one — represent you accurately.

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 — 33.2/100 (reduced confidence)

Recency was not scored: this site publishes lastmod dates, but they look machine-generated rather than edit history, so they cannot be read as freshness.

Low-coverage caveat: 464 of 527 sitemap URLs (88%) could not be classified, so this score describes only the 40 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 (2191 of 2919 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.
