Legal and E-Signature
Regulated market (eidas trusted lists) plus platform app stores. 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
21 (84.0%)declare their own
2 (8.0%)covered by others only
1 (4.0%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
1 (4.0%)undeclared
5declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)
0in-market workflows shown
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
- EU List of Trusted Lists (eIDAS qualified trust service providers, 30 national lists) machine-readable
- DocuSign integrations directory (docusign.com/integrations) machine-readable, rendered tiles only
- DocuSign App Center not machine-readable: account-scoped API
- Ironclad integrations machine-readable, names only
- Clio App Directory not machine-readable: 403
- Adobe Acrobat Sign integrations not machine-readable: 403
- Dropbox Sign integrations not machine-readable: names only
- Swiss ZertES list not machine-readable: outside the EU LOTL
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 2026-10-23 from the 25 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.
