The score splits into Technical Readiness at 30/50 and Content Architecture at 28/50. Its most agent-ready surface today is Customer Care at 66, while Auto Loans at 40 is where the most points are left on the table. The fastest lift sits on the Content Architecture side.
Bank of America 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.
Bank of America's strongest surface is Customer Care, scoring 66 out of 100, with Investments close behind at 61. On the two-dimension split, Technical Readiness is the relative strength at 30/50, 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 40, with Checking & Savings also lagging at 48. Content Architecture is the side holding the overall score down at 28/50. Crawl access is the first thing to confirm: Bank of America runs an Akamai edge that can return 403 to non-browser user agents, so a WAF rule that lets benign LLM crawlers through is the highest-leverage technical fix.
The encouraging read: Bank of America already has a higher-scoring surface to model from. Extending what works on Customer Care to the lagging surfaces converts existing content into agent-readable answers without a redesign.
Bank of America scores 58 out of 100, balanced across both dimensions. The next points come from depth on the surfaces that trail, starting with Auto Loans.
