Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 30 providers in the APIs.io catalog working in Observability, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operational Transparency | 73 | 13 | +60 | 30 |
| Access Clarity | 80.9 | 23.9 | +57 | 30 |

| Contract Governance | 27 | 6.5 | +20.5 | 30 |
| Discoverability | 76.4 | 57.9 | +18.5 | 30 |
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
