Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 60 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Software Development, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Governance | 8.3 | 6.4 | +1.9 | 60 |
| Discoverability | 59.6 | 60.4 | -0.8 | 60 |

| Access Clarity | 20.2 | 22.3 | -2.1 | 60 |
| Contract Quality | 14.1 | 17.5 | -3.4 | 60 |
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.
