Compiled for the API Evangelist data model catalog, then confirmed against the steward's own site.

Confirmed 2026-08-11

Evidence: name evidence 3/3. Found something wrong? Tell me — corrections are cheap and I would rather be right.

Assessed 40.0% of the rubric

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.
