Cloud Native (Kubernetes, CNCF, FinOps)

Standards market (cncf landscape + membership, kcsp, certified kubernetes conformance, focus data generators). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.

138providers measured
68 (49.3%)declare their own
55 (39.9%)covered by others only
3 (2.2%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
12 (8.7%)undeclared
46declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)
0in-market workflows shown
Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.

Where this market publishes its structure

Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.

Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io

Derived 2026-10-21 from the 138 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

Leaders by position (provisional)

Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.

Shape adoption report only — not weighted

Report only, not weighted (Kin, 2026-10-13): `compatible` edges are shape votes (the provider re-serves the anchor's contract). They are shown here and as 'declares compatibility' on a provider, and are excluded from depth, position and the own/covered declaration until they hold across four weekly snapshots.

Pattern: register. Shape gravity (counted by company, one edge per provider, the best evidence kept): 43. Convergence in the cohort: 13 of 136 (9.6%) — cohort members (minus the anchor's family, mediators and rival shapes) with at least one compatible edge to the shape, read from evidence.
