The Six Quality Bands of the API Evangelist Rating System

Every provider in the API Evangelist Rating System carries a composite quality score from zero to one hundred, but the number by itself is not the useful part. A 61 and a 68 are both “pretty good,” and nobody makes a decision on the third significant digit of somebody else’s API. What people actually reason about are the bands–the six labeled tiers the score falls into–because a band is a sentence, not a number.
