Communications (CPaaS)

Coverage market (channel and delivery-provider enums). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.

25providers measured
16 (64.0%)declare their own
7 (28.0%)covered by others only
2 (8.0%)undeclared
1declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)
0in-market workflows shown (22 bridges)
Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.

Where this market publishes its structure

Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.

Leaders by position (provisional)

Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.

Workflows

No in-market workflows yet; bridges: 22 (16 not yet mapped to a capability). In-market workflows only: a step on the market provider's side maps to this market's business capabilities (BC-2640, BC-2700, BC-430.30, BC-400.60), and the partner is not a generic export/notify app. Other workflows are counted as bridges (including any whose steps do not resolve to a capability yet). Methodology.
