Valgo

Valgo is a public benefit corporation building the risk quantification layer for physical AI - the insurance risk layer autonomous systems need. Insurers struggle to price autonomous trucks, robotaxis, and robots because the historical claims data does not exist, so Valgo builds probabilistic models of routes, tasks, and environments from the bottom up and outputs the simulated loss estimates insurers need to price coverage across validation, deployment, and insurance. Founded by Stanford safety-validation researchers and an actuary with over a decade of insurance leadership, Valgo is a Y Combinator W26 company backed by Floodgate and Menlo Ventures, and publishes research including human crash baselines for robotaxis and robotrucks.

Valgo publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Compute API, Compute Batch API, Compute Depot Route API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, Insurance, Risk Management, Autonomous Vehicles, and Robotics.

The Valgo catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Valgo’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, support, signup flow, engineering blog, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
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
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
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

7 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 42.6 — up to +14.4 composite points
Access Clarity scores 34.2 — up to +13.2 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 18.4 — up to +10.6 composite points

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.

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
Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving testing, deployment, robotaxi service)	undeclared	-	-	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 2

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.
