AI Platform Readiness: A Comparative Analysis for Enterprise Search Optimization

Executive Summary

This report analyzes the AI readiness of 154 enterprise sites across four leading AI platforms: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, and Claude. Our analysis, conducted from December 2025 to January 2026, reveals an overall average AI Readiness Score of 75.89/100. A significant 44.16% of sites achieved an 'Excellent' rating (80+), indicating strong optimization for at least one platform. However, the distribution of readiness varies considerably across platforms, highlighting opportunities for multi-platform optimization to gain a competitive edge.

While all platforms demonstrated high individual readiness (100% of analyzed sites were deemed ready for each platform), the average AI score across all platforms was 84.9 out of 100 based on a sample of 50 sites. This suggests that while sites are generally well-prepared for AI integration, there are nuanced differences in how effectively they leverage the specific capabilities of each platform. This report delves into these differences, providing platform-specific optimization strategies to enhance search performance and overall AI readiness.
