Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 168 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Research Data, 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 | 37.1 | 17.6 | +19.5 | 168 |
| Access Clarity | 40.8 | 26.5 | +14.3 | 168 |
| Operational Transparency | 22.6 | 13.7 | +8.9 | 168 |
| Contract Governance | 14.8 | 6.3 | +8.5 | 168 |
| Discoverability | 65 | 58.1 | +6.9 | 168 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 29.7 | 23.2 | +6.5 | 168 |
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.
