Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 37 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Candidates, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 47.8 | 17.5 | +30.3 | 37 |
| Access Clarity | 39.1 | 22.3 | +16.8 | 37 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 32.4 | 17.9 | +14.5 | 37 |
| Operational Transparency | 25 | 11.3 | +13.7 | 37 |
| Discoverability | 70.2 | 60.4 | +9.8 | 37 |
| Contract Governance | 13 | 6.4 | +6.6 | 37 |
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
