StratechMedia scanned 5,125 publisher domains across 99 countries in May 2026. The scan covered robots.txt AI crawler policy (15 major AI bots), ai.txt, llms.txt, JSON-LD structured data, NewsArticle and Schema.org markup, sitemap, canonical, OpenGraph, ads.txt, and editorial governance signals (named editor, editorial policy page, AI policy page, AI labeling mentions, editorial responsibility statements).

Editorial signals are scanned from publisher front pages only. The AI Act compliance score and agent readiness score are StratechMedia composites — not legal assessments. Data available on request: susanne@stratechmedia.com
