Does AGENTIC_REAL_BUTTONS affect my score?

Yes. It is an importance 8 rule at SPECIFICATION confidence, so a failure costs 8 × 1 points of impact in the AI Agent Readiness category before that category is normalised to 100.

What does SPECIFICATION confidence mean?

A standard says so: HTML, WCAG, an RFC or Google's own documentation. 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.

AGENTIC_REAL_BUTTONS

Agents locate controls through the accessibility tree, where a <div class="btn"> is not a control at all. This is the single most common reason an agent gets stuck on an otherwise ordinary page.

How this rule is weighted

Importance: 8 / 10; How much this matters relative to other rules.
Confidence: SPECIFICATION; A standard says so: HTML, WCAG, an RFC or Google's own documentation.
Severity: error; 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.
