Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site,
developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use.
Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's
public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications,
endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and
you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored
zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
