Cascade

Cascade (cascade.industries) builds AI that understands time: it trains, tests, serves and verifies time-series foundation models in the open. Its products are an open training network (the Cascade subnet, SN91, where independent teams train and are ranked on forecasting accuracy), Weir (a live forecasting leaderboard powered by TSBench-Forge that stress-tests models on fresh series), Ephemeris (a time-series forecasting API that routes each request to the best-performing hosted model, available over REST at /api/v1, a remote MCP server and the ephemeris-cli npm package, billed with usage-based credits) and Gnomon (an open-source tool on GitHub for inspecting series, comparing forecasts and reviewing observed outcomes). Its code is published under the TensorLink-AI GitHub organization.

Cascade publishes 5 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Balance API, Device API, Forecast API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Company, Time Series, Forecasting, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.

The Cascade catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Cascade’s developer surface includes CLI, authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, engineering blog, and 35 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the AI & Biometrics 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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/cascade-industries/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/cascade-industries to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
