Vuori — D2C athletic apparel brand, Shopify-powered, named ACP launch partner.
Verdict: Partially — an AI agent can use Vuori, but activate is blocked — A CAPTCHA blocks automated signup.

Checkout flow not yet probed (Tier 2). For a transactional listing the purchase path is where interrupts actually bite — this readout reflects only what passive and signup-level checks could observe, not a verified purchase.
Capability parity
Each stage answers one question about what an agent can do unattended. Stages are ordered by the credential-gateway dependency: Activate issues the keys that unlock Operate and Manage.

Operate
Can an agent do the service's actual jobs — call, transact, pay?
Gated by Activate — the credential this stage needs isn't issued unattended, so these rows may be unreachable even where they read Easy.

Gated by Activate — the credential this needs isn't issued unattended.
- Complete a transaction / checkoutNot assessed
Live checkout not yet attempted (Tier 2).
Gated by Activate — the credential this needs isn't issued unattended.

Gated by Activate — the credential this needs isn't issued unattended.
Manage
Can an agent administer the account and provision resources?
Gated by Activate — the credential this stage needs isn't issued unattended, so these rows may be unreachable even where they read Easy.

Findings
How scoring works →Interrupt tier: High-Interrupt — derived from 3 findings; interrupt score 48 / 100 — the badge-driving metric. (range 16.8–66.8 · 10 unassessed)
Every tool starts at 100. Each interrupt found subtracts a penalty of base weight × timing × hardness × evidence — the multiplier values below come from the same rubric tables the score is computed with. New snapshots also provisionally subtract 50% of the full worst-case tax for each unassessed property and 25% for evidence-graded successes not live-verified by Tier 2.
Property coverage
A check only counts as clean when a probe tier capable of detecting that interrupt actually ran and found nothing. Not tested ≠ clean.

What would make this Easy
One concrete change per blocker found. These are the diffs between this listing's current parity and an unattended agent path.
- Activate — CAPTCHA / bot-challengeDrop the CAPTCHA, or gate it behind a documented bot-detection signal a well-behaved agent can pass.
- Operate — Mandatory redirect to vendor’s own siteExpose the transaction over an API / MCP so checkout doesn't require a browser redirect.
How we scored this
- Confidence: Provisional (0.55) — Based on Tier 0/1 evidence only (passive checks, no live transaction attempt) — treat the number as a triage signal, not a verified outcome.
- Machine-Readability sub-score: 38 / 100 (a separate integration-ease signal — it never enters the Interrupt Score or badge).
- Some capability stages are not yet assessed — shown plainly in the spine above, never as a pass.
- Rubric, tiers, confidence model, and badge thresholds →
Machine-readability checks 38 / 100
Four check groups, equal weight: machine interfaces, browsing efficiency, element discoverability, and discovery/agent access. Each check carries an evidence grade (proven / plausible / emerging) — an honesty label that never weights the score. What these mean →
