Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research 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/.

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/crimson-education: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: The backend API behind the Crimson App student and mentor platform. There is no provider-published OpenAPI
    or public developer portal; the surface is documented and exercised through the first-party TypeScript SDK @crimson-education/sdk
    on npm, which names concrete REST paths under /roadmap/* and /api/v1/* (missions, action items, reflections, roadmap context,
    mission library, grade templates, package items, tutors, bookings, student profile, account and Indigo identity) plus
    a token-gated GraphQL endpoint at /graphql. Access is by Auth0 bearer JWT, a server-to-server crimsonauthkey service key,
    or an OAuth 2.0 authorization-code with PKCE flow the SDK implements but whose backend endpoints the SDK documents as
    not yet deployed.
