How to improve your score
Publish a minimal `ai-plugin.json` at `/.well-known/ai-plugin.json` describing your services, contact, and any public APIs.
Data source
Data source for this factor is not yet documented.
Implementation notes
Single GET request to `/.well-known/ai-plugin.json`, parse and validate.
Scoring
Scoring formulas are versioned with the methodology. The current method (v1.1.0) maps raw measurements to pass, warn, fail. Factor weights determine how much each contributes to the composite — see the methodology index for the full table.
