Chris Lacey

Software for people who don't speak in requirements.

I build AI products, and I review websites for how well search engines and AI assistants can read them.

From recent reviews

01 Findings

0 characters

One homepage sent no body text to any reader that doesn't run JavaScript. Its prices, clients and case studies never arrived.

403

Two sites refused a single AI crawler at the server. Nothing in robots.txt mentioned it.

$ curl -A "ClaudeBot" https://example.com/ 403
$ curl -A "GPTBot" https://example.com/ 200

/sample-page/

One sitemap listed two addresses. The second was the placeholder page WordPress creates on install.

02 Services

Three things I do.

A

Site review

A three-page report on whether search engines and AI assistants can read your site. Every finding comes with a check you can run yourself.

83-point checklist

B

AI product engineering

Full-stack builds for products with a model in the middle: retrieval, agents, evaluation, and the interface around them.

C

Fulcra

An AI advisory platform that applies mental models and structured reasoning to high-stakes decisions.

03 Process

How a review works.

  1. You send a web address.
  2. I fetch it the way crawlers do, without JavaScript, and compare that with what a browser shows.
  3. You get three pages: findings in order, proof you can check, and what I left out on purpose.
