Has Edition 2 been crawled?

No. Status is scaffold-not-run. This page describes the planned robots-respecting crawl, batch size cap, and anonymization rules. It does not publish scores.

Where are the published Index scores?

Market Readiness Index Edition 1 at /index-edition/1 holds the pilot batch (offline fixtures + labeled synthetic rows). The GEO citation study at /research/geo-citation-study summarizes aggregates for answer engines.

Will Edition 2 name live merchants?

No. Anonymization rules require opaque cohort labels only. Domains and legal names stay offline. Top examples, if any, will be fictional demos or consented case studies.

Market Readiness Index — Edition 2 (scaffold)

Edition 2 is a crawl plan scaffold only. No live scores, no merchant census, and no grade table have been produced. Do not cite this page as scored results. Cite Edition 1 aggregates until Edition 2 is published with status other than scaffold-not-run.

Aggregate, stores, and fictional_top_examples are empty by design. Do not treat this URL as a ranked merchant index until status leaves scaffold-not-run.

Crawl plan · scaffold

Robots-respecting, batch ≤5

Process at most 5 storefronts per batch; pause between batches. Never fan out a full cohort in one run. Engine planned: storeguard v0.3 (or successor pinned at crawl time).

Policy

· Robots-respecting: true
· Identify as STEADYWRK Index crawler; honor robots.txt Disallow; skip paths that block AI/data crawlers when the storefront owner has opted out
· Max concurrent hosts: 1
· Min delay same host: 2000 ms
· Backoff on 429/503: true

Scope

Public Arabic e-commerce storefronts that allow crawl under robots.txt

Out of scope

· Authenticated or paywalled catalog pages
· Storefronts that disallow the crawler in robots.txt
· Any scrape that would require bypassing CAPTCHA, login, or anti-bot walls

Anonymization rules

· Publish merchant legal names: false
· Publish merchant domains: false
· Cohort labels: Store A–Z style opaque labels only
· Top examples: Fictional demos or consented named case studies only — never unconsented live merchant names
· Raw crawl URLs and host identifiers stay offline; public edition JSON carries anonymized scores and aggregates only

Rubric reference (Edition 1 weights)

Same Store Guard category weights as Edition 1 unless a version bump is recorded at crawl time On managed platforms, llms.txt may be excluded from the denominator and remaining weights renormalised to /100 — same rule as Edition 1.
