CleanCo is a United Kingdom-based beverage company, founded in 2019 by Spencer Matthews, that produces premium low- and no-alcohol alternative spirits. Its product line replicates the flavour profiles of traditional spirits across key categories, including CleanGin, CleanRum, CleanVodka and CleanTequila, aimed at consumers who want to reduce alcohol consumption without sacrificing taste. The company sells direct-to-consumer through cleanliquor.com and through grocery and hospitality retail channels across the UK and international markets. CleanCo raised venture funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners in 2020. It is a consumer packaged-goods brand and does not publish a developer API, developer portal, or any machine-readable API surface; it is retained in the API Evangelist network only as an identified Lightspeed portfolio company, not as an API provider.
CleanCo is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Beverages, Spirits, Non-Alcoholic, and Low-Alcohol.
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 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):
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

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
