Data Center Tier Certification (facility certification, open hardware, efficiency bodies)
Register + standard market (uptime tier certification; ocp / cnda pact / green grid participation). 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.
Where this market publishes its structure
- Uptime Institute Tier Certification / awards list (uptimeinstitute.com/uptime-institute-awards/list) machine-readable, 1,940 award rows / 1,091 clients, server-rendered behind the JS table (no browser needed); names + country only; 4 in-market linked (equinix, digital-realty-trust, lenovo, 21vianet); 36 end-users held by the gate; 971 no catalog identity
- Open Compute Project membership directory (opencompute.org/membership/membership-directory) machine-readable, brief URL /membership-organizational-directory is a 404; directory: 191 members (Platinum 60, Gold 6, Silver 67, Startup 58), 190 with website; 22 linked in-market, 27 out-of-market

- The Green Grid members (thegreengrid.org/en/about-us/members) machine-readable, public page shows the 16-logo Executive Leadership Council only; 4 linked (amd, dell, hpe, vertiv); Bank of America held (end-user)
- The Green Grid full member roster not machine-readable: behind the member login (cw.thegreengrid.org); not entered
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.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-22 from the 50 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

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.
