How the ranking works

TrooIDs keeps a register of more than 600 channels a website can have. To choose which to build first, each channel gets a score from two measures.

First, how many companies would open the channel if setting it up and using it cost nothing. Two AI models, one from OpenAI and one from Anthropic, estimated this for 100 random company websites. It is an estimate, not a survey.

Second, how much of other channels' work it can carry once an AI agent runs it. An email address, for example, also does the work of a newsletter signup and of marketing mail.

The score multiplies the two. The ten highest form the first batch; the next forty follow in batches of ten.

What these pages do not claim

• A channel that is built and tested is not automatically live. Most channels here were built on a test copy of the site with sample data; each page says which parts run on trooids.com.
• "Build obligations met" counts the checks a build must pass in our method: tests written by a second AI family, deliberately broken copies the tests must catch, and lab runs. It is not a certificate.
• Every number on these pages comes from a dated check; when a check is older than a page, the page says so.
