Bottleneck Interception Intercepted before the brand is the answer. 3.6 /10 Agent Success Score AI Visibility 26 / 100 Found & recommended by AI agents AI Usability 34 / 100 Can an agent use the surface to get the job done Coverage · 2 of 6 lanes measured Commerce lane · Catalog-only · Wave Q2-2026-W11-CENSUS Commerce 3.6 Talent usability measured After-sales — Procurement — Investor — Press — This page measures two lanes. Commerce: can an agent find Continental, and once it arrives, transact. Talent: can a candidate's agent find an open engineering role on Continental's own career surface and prepare the application. After-sales, procurement, investor and press lanes run on different surfaces and are not yet measured. Your brand isn't measured yet ## What does an AI agent do with your website? The same measurement as Continental, free for your domain. Five agent classes, one real task, your score in 48 hours. The test ## Continental's website holds up. Tire retailers own the checkout. We tested how AI agents handle a real purchase: a Continental premium summer tire in 225/45 R17. 18 measurements, three AI providers, German queries, zero errors. The fleet phases ran in July 2026: text and code agents never see the size data, the browser class reaches the full size table and the dealer handoff. The Continental site holds up. It carries the PremiumContact 7 specification, the tire finder, and the size guidance, in a form agents can read. The purchase moves elsewhere. Reifen.de, Tirendo, Euromaster, and A.T.U hold the stock, the fitting appointment, and the checkout. Continental makes the tire. The retailer makes the sale. One note: Continental is also a major automotive-technology supplier (ContiTech, ADAS electronics). This test covers the consumer-tire business, not the whole company. One label, many breeds. From a plain reader to an autonomous operator, the kinds behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude Code: Plain reader reads your raw page text, no browser Partial Search assistant finds you through search Partial Coding agent a script hitting your site Blocked Computer-use agent clicks and types like a person Succeeded Autonomous operator runs the whole task unattended Not yet run Blocked somewhere on the path: Coding agent. A customer whose assistant runs on one of those breeds never finishes the task. Commerce lane ## Found, and able to transact? Two questions, measured separately. A brand can be recommended and still un-buyable, or perfectly buyable and never found. AI Visibility When someone asks an agent to find the right summer tire for a passenger car, does it route to Continental? 26 / 100 Continental comes up about a quarter of the time. The rest of the time, an agent recommends an alternative first. Discoverability · 18-datapoint audit AI Usability Once an agent is on Continental's site, can it order the fitted set through a tire retailer? 34 / 100 Computer-use agent reach config-ready; the other agent classes do not. Browser-class agents reach config-ready; code agents are blocked, the booking step is buried, not agent-ready · breakdown above Evidence · 65 / 100 A measure of how provable and consistent the result is, grounded in cross-method ground-truth agreement (the methods that ran returned the same price), not a separate measured run. A confidence layer on the two scores above, not a third sales axis. Talent lane ## The talent lane. A candidate's agent, sent to find an open software-engineering role at Continental and prepare the application. Same brand, second surface: the career portal. AI Usability · Talent lane ### Readable posting, unresolved apply step. The posting itself reads cleanly for non-browser agents; a Germany-based software role could not be found through the career site's own machine-readable paths at measurement time, so a Bengaluru posting served as the frozen task.
