BECU is scored across 7 product surfaces an AI agent might be asked about. Each surface score is on a 0 to 100 scale. Higher means more readable to an agent running a research or comparison prompt.
BECU's strongest surface is Checking & Savings, scoring 75 out of 100. On the two-dimension split, Technical Readiness is the relative strength at 33/50, which means the work that surface owns reads more cleanly to a research or comparison agent than the field average.
The largest gap is Auto Loans at 52. Content Architecture is the side holding the overall score down at 31/50. The standard first move is the published playbook: add FinancialProduct and CreditCard JSON-LD with real APR, fee, and rewards values, add FAQPage schema, and confirm AI crawlers are whitelisted in robots.txt.
The encouraging read: BECU already has a higher-scoring surface to model from. Extending what works on Checking & Savings to the lagging surfaces converts existing content into agent-readable answers without a redesign.
BECU scores 64 out of 100, balanced across both dimensions. The next points come from depth on the surfaces that trail, starting with Auto Loans.
