See if an AI can buy from your store — free.
After you fix, you can measure once more.
See public pages first, no signup
Study flow, what we never do, and what we publish
A sample of the report you receive
A real run on our own site. The agent was sent to a login page when it tried to sign up, and stopped at 26 points. The screen where it stopped is saved.
From sign-up to results
- The sign-up form
- Four fields — store URL, platform, your name, and email — plus a required checkbox confirming you are the owner (or an authorised party).
- Confirming you run the store
- This keeps anyone from diagnosing someone else's store. On BASE, Color Me Shop, Shopify and similar platforms it is one line pasted in your admin (no custom domain needed). We email that line after you apply, so you can do it afterward. We recheck once a day; after 6 checks with no proof, the request is withdrawn.
- Time to results
- Once ownership is verified you can run the diagnosis yourself from the console at /en/app. We also email the share link (as a guide, usually within two business days).
What you get
- An agent-reachability report for your store, free
- Where the run stopped between signup, browse, cart and pre-checkout — with barrier IDs
- What to change on your platform (permission: theme / app / plan / platform)
- One free retest after you fix, to see whether the score moved
What the diagnosis never does
- Bypass a CAPTCHA — the run stops on detection, and that stop is the result
- Complete a purchase or payment — runs always end at pre-checkout
- Diagnose a store without a consent record
Collection progress
Wave 1 is now accepting participating stores (results to be published October 31, 2026).
First publication (if minima are met): 31 Oct 2026 · This wave accepts until: 15 Oct 2026
On 2026-09-06 we moved the signup deadline from 09-15 to 10-15. Signups were zero, but the cause is on our side: the only sample of what you receive is one failed run on someone else's store, and almost nobody has seen the page (12 visitors a week). This is not a market verdict.

Limits of this study
This is a volunteer sample, not a random draw of Japanese EC. Stores that care about agents self-select. Do not generalise a later “X% of BASE” figure past that.
Why participation is opt-in
We do not walk other people's stores without permission: a diagnosis that actually operates signup or the cart only runs when the site's operator asks for it, and a study is no exception. So this study runs entirely on stores whose owners volunteer them.
What is and is not published
Published
- Per-platform aggregates (e.g. what share of BASE stores stop at signup) — after minimum N
- Distribution of stop reasons (barrier IDs; CAPTCHA counted as Policy, separately)
Never published
- Individual store names or URLs (unless the owner separately opts into Walk proof)
- Contact names or email addresses
- Individual scores and percentiles (private email report only)
