About Founder Costs
from our crawl and measurement
Founder Costs describes itself simply: "Free startup calculators for founders. Understand CAC, LTV, runway, pricing, and growth, clearly and without jargon. Make better decisions, faster." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.1 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (Person, Organization, WebSite), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic).

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 4.1/10, Founder Costs is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
