Measured at gabesstores.com
The catalog is not at www.mygabes.com — that host carries no product pages, so we measured the storefront instead.
No product detail pages reachable without a login, membership, or store selection. This is a finding about the retailer, not a measurement failure.
mygabes.com 301-redirects to gabesstores.com, which is WordPress brochureware: department landing pages (/ladies/, /mens/, /kids/, /footwear/, /home-dept/), a store locator on location.gabesstores.com, and a rewards login on members.gabesstores.com. There is no e-commerce — no cart, no PDPs, no WooCommerce/Shopify markers anywhere in the served HTML. The site links out to a Gabe's storefront on Amazon (/amazon/), but per the brief a marketplace listing is not the company's own storefront, so it is not substituted here.
Each pillar shows the points earned against the maximum that was actually observable. Where a signal could not be observed it is removed from both sides rather than scored as a failure.

| UCP profile | none at /.well-known/ucp — this is not evidence against adoption |

It is not an audit and not a judgement of the business — it is a 8-page sample taken on a stated date, scored on a published rubric with no model judgement in it. Nothing here predicts whether any assistant will recommend you; for most answer engines that is decided by a private merchant feed we cannot see. If a number here is wrong, tell us and it goes in the public corrections log.
This scorecard is a sample — eight product pages, drawn at random from a published seed. It tells you where Gabe’s stands, not which SKUs are costing you. We’ll run a real sample of the whole catalog through the same extractor and send back the fields that are missing, by product.
Everything above stays free either way — the rubric, the sampled pages, the dataset, and every other company’s scorecard.
