Root cause · L1 Access blocks everything downstream

GPTBot and Google-Extended receive a 403 at the Cloudflare edge. Until crawlers can read northwind.io, no amount of content or schema work can move the score. This is the single highest-impact fix and it costs one config change.

Each query ran 3× per engine on neutral accounts, in two streams: live retrieval (web on) and model memory (API, web off). Raw probes — prompt, full answer, cited sources, timestamps — are preserved in the evidence archive (JSONL) delivered with this report. We do not promise that any engine will cite you by a given date, and we do not sell leads or rankings — no one honestly can. We remove the reasons engines currently skip you, then re-measure the same 20 questions and show you what moved.
