Metric: Blocklist Risk

How it's calculated

A simple count of blocked AI bots out of the 5 monitored (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended, Googlebot).

Risk levels

• 0 — None: All bots can access your site.
• 1 — Low: One bot blocked.
• 2 — Medium: Two bots blocked.
• 3 — High: Three bots blocked.
• 4–5 — Critical: Most or all AI crawlers blocked.

Relationship to Bot Access Score

Blocklist Risk is the inverse of Bot Access Score. If Bot Access is 60 (3 of 5 bots allowed), Blocklist Risk is 2 (2 bots blocked). While Bot Access feeds into the AI Readiness Score calculation, Blocklist Risk provides a simpler, more actionable signal for reports.
