Does AGENTIC_NO_HOVER_ONLY_MENUS affect my score?

Yes. It is an importance 6 rule at EMERGING confidence, so a failure costs 6 × 0.3 points of impact in the AI Agent Readiness category before that category is normalised to 100.

What does EMERGING confidence mean?

Plausible and actively discussed, not yet well evidenced. Confidence is a declared tier rather than a per-rule number, so every rule backed by the same class of evidence carries the same weight - which is what makes the score reproducible instead of hand-tuned.

How this rule is weighted

Importance: 6 / 10; How much this matters relative to other rules.
Confidence: EMERGING; Plausible and actively discussed, not yet well evidenced.
Severity: warning; How the finding is presented when it fails.
Scoring: Counts; A failure costs points in its category.

Impact is importance multiplied by the confidence tier’s weight — SPECIFICATION 1.0, RESEARCH 0.7, EMERGING 0.3, EXPERIMENTAL 0.1. Two rules backed by the same class of evidence therefore always carry the same weight, which is what makes the score reproducible rather than hand-tuned.
