Courtesy DM — Cloudflare Agent Readiness Report
Plain-text email or LinkedIn DM, sent the day the report ships. Modeled on Josh’s daily email style guide: “Howdy”, short, direct, no hedging, “Yeehaw!” close. ~100 words.
Subject: Agent Readiness Report: Cloudflare scored 40/100
Howdy [Name],
Heads up — we shipped the first Agent Readiness Report scorecard this week, and Cloudflare was the test case. Score: 40/100 (Level 2). Net-positive on the Content-Signal directive you invented (we shipped a v0.1.2 rubric fix to credit it). Net-negative on the blog at 15/100 — the surface hosting your original Agent Readiness Score post lands at Level 1 against the rubric that post helped popularize.
Single highest-leverage fix to land you at Level 3: publish an MCP Server Card from cloudflare.com and reference it from the homepage hero. The capability is real. The signal isn’t.

No need to respond — sharing in case useful, and gladly re-score once anything ships.
Yeehaw!

| André Jesus | Co-author of the April 2026 Agent Readiness Score post | Same | LinkedIn DM |
| Matthew Prince | CEO, Cloudflare | Has personally posted on Content Signals and AI policy; will see signal even if he doesn’t reply | X DM (he replies on X) |
[email protected] |
Developer relations / press | Lukewarm fallback if author DMs go unanswered after 5 days |
Notes for the sender (Josh)
- Pick ONE recipient on day-of-publish. Author > CEO > press.
- Send via LinkedIn first; DM is more personal than email at this stage.
- Hold the press address (
[email protected]) for week-2 if neither author replies. - If a reply comes back with “we just shipped X”, queue a re-score for the next bi-weekly slot. The follow-up report (“Cloudflare moved from Level 2 to Level 3 in 14 days”) is even better content than the first one.
