Sanofi scores 28 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 9 November 2026. At the door, site accessible to 6 AI agent user-agents. 6 of the 19 checklist rows with an Ora check are met. Nothing blocks the agents and nothing is written for them. On 9 November 2026 the public site at sanofi.com scored **28 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadychecklist.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Ora probes a site the way an agent would: it requests pages with the agents' own user agents, reads robots.txt, looks for the files agents read, and tries the API, MCP and payment surfaces. Below, each of the 31 checklist rows is read against the Ora checks the [crosswalk](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ora-checks/) names for it, so the result says which requirements this company meets, not only how many points it scored. Ora's one-line summary: Sanofi has strong brand presence and training data, but lacks public API, developer portal, and agent integration infrastructure. ## The score | Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Discovery | 18 of 36 | 50% | Can agents find and recommend it | | Identity | 20 of 60 | 33% | Can agents tell what it is | | Access | 7 of 31 | 23% | Can agents read it | | Agent Integration | 2 of 29 | 7% | Can agents integrate with it | | User Experience | 5 of 9 | 56% | How the site reads inside an agent | | Total | 28 of 100 | 28% | Grade D | ## Row by row A row is met when every Ora check the crosswalk names for it passes, not met when every one fails, and partly when the checks disagree or one is partial. A row with no Ora check in the catalogue, or whose checks did not apply to this site, is marked as such; the [Verify Kit](https://agentreadychecklist.com/kit/) tests those by hand. | Row | Level | Result | Ora checks, and what Ora saw | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AR-FIND-01;

These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Sanofi, each tied to the checklist row whose recipes cover it. OpenAPI spec published Fail, 0 of 7, about 7.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. Row [AR-ACT-02](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-02/), OpenAPI contract. Public API with reachable endpoints Fail, 0 of 7, about 7.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No public API endpoint or documentation found. No checklist row names this check. MCP server / manifest Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found. Row [AR-ACT-03](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-03/), MCP over Streamable HTTP. Developer resource discoverability Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.1 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "sanofi" developer resources but found nothing relevant. No checklist row names this check. Category share of voice Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.1 points to gain. Ora saw: For the query "pharmaceutical research and development company", Sanofi does not appear in search results. Instead, AI search engines surface major pharmaceutical firms,AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Merck. No checklist row names this check. ## Our read Sanofi reads as a plain, open corporate site that Ora scored with its five-layer model, Identity and Agent Integration among them, so its 28 is not directly comparable with the four-layer reads around it. The door is open to all six agent user agents Ora sent, robots.txt allows every crawler with a wildcard and declares no AI tier, the sitemap index is valid, and the home page gives 2,853 characters with an H1 and a flat heading structure. What is missing is the layer of files the checklist asks for: neither an llms.txt nor JSON-LD on the home page, and no markdown when an agent asks for it. The one developer surface is an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at identity.sanofi.com, which is a login, and the Agent Integration layer scores 2 of 29. France's largest drugmaker has nothing blocking it and nothing published for agents; the whole list is additions, starting with a text file. ## Verify your own site The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadychecklist.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same four layers for your own site, then take each failing row to its recipe on this site. The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy. Payments did not apply to this company; a site that sells is read on that layer too.
