The AI-Readiness profile for mtu.edu is strong: an ACRI of 79/100 places it ahead of 91% of domains in the index. Within the education vertical, this places mtu.edu above the industry average of 57 —, suggesting strong competitive positioning in AI search. Its server-rendered architecture ensures AI crawlers receive complete HTML on first request, a key advantage for extractability. The 5.8× token bloat ratio falls within the normal range, though there is room to trim navigation, footer, and script overhead. Structured data coverage is solid at 2 blocks, covering core entities — expanding to include FAQ or Breadcrumb schemas could strengthen the profile further. The site maintains an open-door policy for AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and other major agents are all allowed.
