The backstory
Sitebulb crawls a site and produces a technical audit with plain-English explanations and severity ratings, which made it popular with consultants. Agents that can fetch pages, parse markup and write the findings themselves now cover a decent slice of that workflow. The remaining value is the completeness of the crawl and the credibility of a standard report format. It is squeezed, not finished.
