Status
This page documents the methodology used during Wayli's historical AI Readiness assessment and testing period. AIR is not currently presented as a live assessment, scoring or benchmarking product.
The methodology is preserved for transparency and reference. It explains the questions the experiment asked and the evidence discipline it attempted to apply; it does not describe a service currently available for assessing a business.
The five questions used by AIR
The experiment reviewed public information through five questions:
- Who You Are — could the business and its identity be established from public information?
- What You Offer — was the product or service explained clearly?
- Who You Help — could an intended audience be established?
- Why You're Trusted — what public evidence supported trust-related claims?
- AI Information Access — what public information and technical signals could automated systems access?
These were assessment categories during the scored experiment. In the current AIR experience they are unscored questions people can explore with their own AI.
Evidence and interpretation
AIR attempted to separate directly observable public evidence from assumptions and inference. Its deterministic rules could make reproducible decisions about captured evidence, but later testing showed that reproducible semantic interpretation was not always reliable enough to support a live score.
Wayli therefore stopped scoring businesses. The question, framework and practical guides remain available, while the scored methodology is retained here as historical provenance rather than current product authority.
Methodology versions
AIR changed during testing. Earlier results must be read against the version that produced them:
- V1 tested a bounded set of acquired website evidence.
- V2 changed how representative pages were selected without loosening the evidence rules.
- V3 narrowed the Audience test and reported confidence separately.
Scores from different versions are historical observations, not directly interchangeable current measurements.
