AX Audit vs. the AgentReady.org standard
AgentReady.org publishes an open, vendor-neutral specification for agent readiness — not a scanner of its own. Here's how its spec sections map to AX Audit's categories, and the one surface its spec doesn't define yet.
AgentReady.org is a specification, not a scoring product — it defines requirements under three phases (Find, Read, Act) with stable IDs like AR-FIND-01 and AR-ACT-03. AX Audit uses its own category taxonomy (AR-DISC, AR-CONT, AR-CAP, AR-AUTH, AR-COMM) covering the same general ground — discoverability, machine-readable content, callable capabilities, delegated identity, and agentic commerce — in the same spirit as the open standard, though the exact category boundaries and IDs differ between the two. Neither AgentReady.org's Find/Read/Act phases nor its listed requirements (AR-ACT-01 through AR-ACT-10, as published) define anything about an agent provisioning or creating an account — that's what AX Audit's AR-PROV category adds.

Category-by-category
What AX Audit checks
10+ signals across 6 AR-* categories (AR-DISC, AR-CONT, AR-CAP, AR-AUTH, AR-COMM) plus AR-PROV — the only one of the three that checks agent-provisioning readiness.
Verified directly from agentready.org and its public spec repository: the Find/Read/Act phase structure and the AR-FIND/AR-READ/AR-ACT requirement IDs listed above. Note AgentReady.org's "AR-*" IDs and AINative's "AR-*" category names are not the same taxonomy — they share a prefix by convention, not by shared authorship, and the category boundaries don't map one-to-one. We did not find any requirement in the published spec covering agent-initiated account provisioning or KYC. AgentReady.org itself does not run a scanner — scoring is left to independent tools, which is why this page compares AX Audit against the standard's defined scope rather than against any specific scoring product.
