# /Paradox/: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Site: https://www.prdx.us/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/prdx.us
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
/Paradox/ is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open /Paradox/'s website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Squire.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://getsquire.com/booking/brands/paradox (through squire acting for the business)
- Address: Jackson Street 161 95112 San Jose

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
