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

  detail: 'Varsity Tutors runs a real first-party API gateway at api.varsitytutors.com (its responses carry `server: vt-apigw`),
    but its robots.txt reads `Allow: /vtwa/v1/link_blocks_directory/lookup` then `Disallow: /` — the gateway exists only to
    serve the company''s own web and mobile clients, and the company publishes no developer portal, API reference, SDK or
    machine-readable contract on any of its four first-party hosts; its sole documented third-party integration is a Clever
    app-gallery listing in which Varsity Tutors CONSUMES Clever''s Instant Login and Secure Sync rostering APIs rather than
    exposing one of its own.'
