Where this list came from
The source, and how we filtered it
| Source | Banks, building societies and credit unions regulated by the PRA, Bank of England (Prudential Regulation Authority); Wikidata (2026-10-01 (lists as at 1 October 2026)) |
|---|---|
| License | Bank of England data: reproduction under the Open Government Licence v3.0, per the Bank's legal page. Wikidata: CC0 1.0. |
| Cite as | Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
| How we filtered it | Every row of the PRA's banks, building societies and credit unions lists. In the banks list, UK-incorporated banks are kind bank; the outside-UK, Gibraltar and EEA run-off sections are overseas-branch. Addresses are Wikidata P856, joined on LEI (P1278) where the item is unique, otherwise an exact label or alias match on a bank, building society, credit union or financial institution in the UK (or, for a bank, with no other country). |
| Instead of | The FCA Financial Services Register (needs an API key). |
| Built | 2026-11-02 |
The filtering is ours and is disclosed as ours. The source published a list; the decision about which rows of it belong in a cohort was a judgment call, and it is written down so somebody can disagree with it.

By dimension
What the cohort earns, dimension by dimension
The mean share of each dimension’s available points that this cohort earned. Low here means the whole sector is weak on it, not that one site dragged an average down. The per-site spread is in the dataset.
| Dimension | Mean share earned | Mean |
|---|---|---|
| #1 · Reach
These parameters determine the fundamental ease of access that AI has to your site information. |
79% | |
| #2 · Read
AI generally turns off JavaScript. Does your site information survive without it? |
50% | |
| #3 · Understand
Does a machine know who and what you are? |
27% | |
| #4 · Act
Sitemaps, redirects, 404s, licensing terms, and not wasting the crawl budget. |

How much of each site we read
The cap is 32 URLs and it is a ceiling, not a promise. A portal whose every link points at a different host yields one page; a university yields the full sample. The median here is 32, the range 1–32, published so that "we sampled 32 URLs per site" cannot become a claim the data does not support.
1 site in this cohort served a certificate we could not verify. They were read anyway and scored normally, because reporting no response for a site every browser loads would describe our TLS stack rather than the site, and each one carries the finding in its row.

Every site
Every 666, named, with a report for each
Whether or not it has been scanned. Rows with no website on record, sites that were unreachable and sites that turned us away stay in the table with the reason on them, and none of them enters an average: dropping them would shrink the population to the part that was easy to measure. A few points between two neighbors is noise. The box filters every row in the cohort, not only the page you are on; click a header to sort the rows on this page by name or by score.
