Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 1159 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Open-Source, 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 | 31 | 17.5 | +13.5 | 1159 |
| Operational Transparency | 23.7 | 11.3 | +12.4 | 1159 |

| Access Clarity | 25.4 | 22.3 | +3.1 | 1159 |
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.
