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.

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/.

  resolved: The search-parameter mismatch flagged at profile generation — apis.json advertising query= while the OpenAPI defines
    q — was fixed by the provider and confirmed resolved. The stale note is removed from PROFILE.md.
  still_open: OpenAPI info.version is 0.1.0 while the document is OpenAPI 3.1.0. Left flagged; the provider did not claim
    to have changed it and it is still true.
  note: The OpenAPI is now held locally as well as referenced by URL. Advertised spec URLs across the catalog go stale, and
    a local copy is what the profile is actually built from.
