Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Procurement and B2B Buying (source-to-pay suites, spend management) | regulated | 41.7 | - | 1 |
| PDF and Document Standards (PDF tooling, document signing trust, invoice documents) | regulated | 41.7 | - | 1 |
| Canada RPAA Payment Service Providers (Bank of Canada registry + Payments Canada) | regulated | 41.7 | - | 1 |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
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.
