Markets

The Kin Score has a third dimension: the market. A provider is read in its market, by who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure: partners' contracts, platform app stores, regulators' registers, standards bodies' directories, aggregators' coverage lists.

Leaders are grouped by position (gravity, coverage, core, standard...) and depth is only compared within a position. A provider that declares nothing we can read is undeclared, with no number.

Read the methodology

Provisional. The Market layer is unweighted and is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists will stay labelled provisional until the weights hold across weekly releases. Workflows and their phrasing are generated by API Evangelist.

Markets we haven't mapped yet

These are parts of the catalog that no market above covers, or covers only partly. They are not markets yet: each row is a tag, tag group, industry or area with real providers (and, where shown, real searches on apis.io) that we have not built a market for. We list them so the gaps are visible rather than implied away. Ranked by gap score: gap_score = log10(1+providers) + 2*log10(1+searches); partial/uncovered only. Partial means some cohort carries it at share >= 0.08 or >= 2 members without keeping it. Searches are apis.io searches over 8 weeks (2026-08-24..2026-10-18).
