Dental Software Compare

Dental Software Compare (dentalsoftwarecompare.com, branded DentalCompare) is a UK comparison site for dental practice management software. It compares systems on facts it cites: whether NHS Dental Services (NHSBSA) certifies them to transmit FP17 claims, the UK price each supplier publishes, NHS claims and UDA tracking, and whether the software runs in the cloud or on a practice server. It publishes guides on NHS certification, software cost, FP17 claims and CQC dental records, plus datasets such as a dental PMS pricing index and NHS dental charges/UDA data. It was surfaced via the MCP registry harvest.

Dental Software Compare publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Enquiry API, Guide API, and MCP API. Tagged areas include Company, Dental Software, Practice Management, Healthcare, and NHS.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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)
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
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

5 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Developer Ergonomics scores 18.5 — up to +16.3 composite points
Contract Quality scores 48.8 — up to +12.8 composite points
Access Clarity scores 42.1 — up to +11.6 composite points

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/dentalsoftwarecompare-com/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/dentalsoftwarecompare-com to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
