Agent-ready is structured product data, live ATP, checkout-true price, and APIs — not autopilot checkout. Reuse Gateway ~180 to 95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K sessions. Score 13 checks separately.

An AM agent should cap "accounts requiring attention today" at 5 rows with evidence_tool on each. Reuse Gateway ~180 ms → ~95 ms on the B2B CRM canary — not a book-of-business KPI. Demo table is fixtures.

Adobe Analytics (1T+ visits) put July 2026 AI-referral traffic to U.S. retail +62% YoY. That is a channel, not a copilot. Score merchant readiness for an external agent before you staff another chat widget.

B2B onboarding agents collect docs and draft account setup — they do not setCreditLimit in week one. Reuse Gateway ~180 ms → ~95 ms from the B2B CRM canary. Credit and contract stay HITL.

Score who deserves attention from historical LTV plus churn risk — read-only, no CRM overwrite. Reuse ~$791/mo at 50K sessions and Gateway ~180 ms to ~95 ms, not a client LTV lift.

An AI agent for eCommerce analytics answers with named tools and a time window — five operations in the catalog, not a 40% insight lift and not unrestricted SQL.

Tool-based integration beats Admin API keys in the prompt. No native Shopify connector. Reuse Gateway ~180 to 95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K sessions — not an integration SLA.

Next-best product is compatibility plus stock plus the current cart — not co-occurrence. Reuse Gateway ~180 ms → ~95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K — not an attach-rate KPI.

An AI agent for excess inventory recommends stop-buy, transfer, bundle, promo, or liquidation — margin-aware, never an uncontrolled markdown. Reuse Gateway ~180→95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K.

Remembering everything is not desirable. Session, CRM, OMS, AgentCore Memory, and tickets are different layers. Reuse Gateway ~180 to 95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K sessions — not a recall KPI.

Post-purchase is a journey coordinator across OMS, ESP, and helpdesk — WISMO stays post 3. Gorgias WISMO is ~18%; reuse Gateway ~180 ms to ~95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K.

Five phases from quick wins to advanced ops. Post 40 ranks which workflow; this sequences when. Reuse Gateway ~180→95 ms and ~$791/mo at 50K — not a roadmap KPI.
