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.

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).
Showing the top 25 of 200 gaps. Across the catalog: tags 615 covered, 4274 partial, 20523 uncovered; industries 78 covered, 2 partial, 1 uncovered; areas 38 covered, 16 partial, 11 uncovered. Generated 2026-10-23.
