| Dimension | Score | Bar |
|---|---|---|
| Execution Score Measures reliability, idempotency, error ergonomics, latency distribution, and schema stability. | 9.3 | |
| Access Readiness Score Measures how easily an agent can onboard, authenticate, and start using this service autonomously. | 9.4 | |

Self-serve API billing. Usage-based. Credit card via web. Auto-recharge. Prepay credits.
API key per project, usage limits per key. Basic team roles. SOC 2 Type II. No granular RBAC per key.
Playground/dashboard is functional but secondary to API. Limited web-only features.
No failure modes have been captured for this service yet. An empty list is a coverage gap, not a clean bill of health.
Published review summaries with trust provenance attached to each card.
Docs-backed Built from public docs and product materials.
Test-backed Backed by guided testing or evaluator-run checks.
Runtime-verified Verified from authenticated runtime evidence.
