Not enough of this standard was readable to place it in a band. That is a limit of what I could see, not a finding against the standard.
A separate measure from the Kin Score, which rates API providers. This rates how current a standard is in how it is expressed, published and paid for — not how good it is. EDIFACT and X12 score low here and move an enormous share of world trade.
