Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/4k-garden: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  website_correction: This record was harvested from a Nasdaq Private Market secondary-market venue listing, which left https://www.nasdaqprivatemarket.com/
    standing as the company Website pointer. That is the trading venue, not 4K Garden. Corrected on 2026-09-05 to the company's
    own site, https://www.4kgarden.com/ (HTTP 200).
  pointers_deliberately_absent: 'No DeveloperPortal, Documentation, APIReference, GettingStarted, Support, SignUp, Pricing,
    TermsOfService, PrivacyPolicy, GitHubOrganization, Roadmap or Postman pointer is emitted, because 4K Garden publishes
    none of these pages. No WellKnown or SecurityTxt pointer is emitted: every /.well-known/ path 404s on all five hosts probed
    (see well-known/4k-garden-well-known.yml). No AgentCard pointer is emitted: no agent card was found. No SDKs pointer is
    emitted: no client library exists in any registry. No MCPServer pointer is emitted: mcp/4k-garden-mcp.yml is a DERIVED
    candidate with deployment.mode none, and claiming a server that nobody ships would be false. No Idempotency pointer is
    emitted: idempotency coverage on this API is none, across all 43 mutating operations.'
  host_reachability: 4kgarden.com and www.4kgarden.com are served from mainland China and are slow from US networks - individual
