The Airframe scorecard: ten dimensions, measured today
Re-runnable: hangar/tools/airframe-scorecard/scorecard.py. It measures readiness against the full contract, so most of the gap is artifacts that do not exist yet, not things that are broken. The amber tick on each bar is the A+ line at 97.
The Airframe scorecard: ten dimensions, measured today
Matrix of ten Airframe AI-friendliness dimensions with the measured baseline score, what the measurement found, and what an A+ requires, with an overall baseline of twenty-seven out of one hundred and one of fourteen acceptance checks passing.

Measured, not felt. Every check is automated, so "A+" is a result the scorecard prints, not an opinion.
The biggest gaps are also the cheapest: AGENTS.md, a contract bundle, validate, outputs. Two real bugs found by running the chart: typos pass silently, and configuring before an image renders image ":". Baseline committed: tools/airframe-scorecard/baseline-2026-09-26.json.
The scorecard cannot judge whether an agent would actually succeed; the parachute sentence, run as a Preflight case, does. Use both.
