# Agent Visibility

> The Agentic Shelf Index measures whether AI shopping agents can actually
> shop the UK high street. Wave 3 (August 2026) probed 53 of the UK's biggest
> retailers as three openly identified clients. Finding: access is a lottery;
> the same product URL answers differently depending on who is asking, and
> almost nobody states their rules. Published quarterly by The Future
> Collective, measured by Orqestra. Wave 4 runs in November 2026.

## Key aggregate findings (wave 3, one disclosed vantage)
- 53 retailers probed; 12 would not serve robots.txt to an identified audit client
- 5 name and restrict AI agents in readable robots.txt
- 19 shelves comparable like for like; 2 answered the same URL differently by client
- 1 of 53 publishes anything written for agents to read
- No retailer is claimed to "block AI"; refusal findings describe our requests only
