Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl Numb at the Lodge, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

Numb at the Lodge describes itself simply: "These heavy sands are language tide and wind have silted here. Click to read Numb at the Lodge, by Sam Kriss, a Substack publication with tens of thousands of subscribers." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.7 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
Under the hood there is a sitemap, but the score is capped by what is missing: structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
