What the 0–100 AI Fit Score actually measures

It is not a quality grade and not a guarantee — it is a relevance ranking built from evidence. Understanding what moves it makes you faster.
Relevance to your brief, weighted by evidence
The score compares what your brief asked for — market, product family, channel role, exclusions — against what the agent verified on the company’s real pages. Verified matches move the score; unverifiable claims do not.
Why two similar companies score differently
Usually: evidence depth. A company with a matching category tree, an importer registration, and a purchasing contact page gives the model more verified surface than one with a single-page site — even if both are “relevant”.
How to use it well
Sort by score, then read evidence top-down. Contact the top band this week, batch-research the middle band, and refine your brief if the whole list scores low — a low-scoring list is feedback about the brief, not the market.
Key takeaways
- The score ranks relevance to your brief — it is not a company quality grade.
- Verified evidence moves the score; marketing claims do not.
- Low scores across the whole list mean the brief needs work, not the market.
