# Live AI Search & Citation Audit Dossier: linear.app > **Audited Target**: `https://linear.app` (Linear – The system for product development) > **Current AI Readiness Score**: **50/100 (Grade F — Losing AI Citations)** → **With AnswerRail (60s): 99/100 (Grade A+ — #1 Citation Ready)** > **Machine Endpoints**: JSON `https://answerrail.com/api/audit?url=linear.app` | Markdown `https://answerrail.com/audit/linear.app.md` | Live Cockpit `https://answerrail.com/stats/linear.app` ## 1. Executive 3-Bullet Commercial Summary (At a Glance) 1. **What Is Broken Right Now**: **99% of `linear.app` is raw HTML code noise** (315,564 raw HTML tokens / 1233 KB vs. 2,584 tokens of real business copy), **`/llms.txt` is Active (200 OK)**, and origin server TTFB is **320ms**. 2. **What It Costs `linear.app` in AI Search**: AI search crawlers (`OAI-SearchBot`, `PerplexityBot`, `ClaudeBot`) enforce strict timeouts (~400ms) and 25,000-token context limits. High DOM bloat and missing `/llms.txt` cause AI engines to hedge on specifics or cite faster competitors instead of linking buyers to `linear.app`. 3. **How AnswerRail Fixes It in 60 Seconds**: AnswerRail serves **2,584 clean Byte-0 Markdown tokens in 12ms** across 330+ Cloudflare Anycast PoPs, auto-hosts `linear.app/llms.txt` & `Schema.org` JSON-LD, and tracks **6-Engine Share of Voice & GA4 AI Buyer Clicks** while human visitors and Googlebot see the normal website 100% untouched. ## 2.
