In addition to iterating upon the latest version of the Kin Score, I am spending a significant chunk of my day responding to providers who encounter the Kin Score for their company.

In my engagements with providers there are generally four buckets API providers fall into when they come across their company, organization, institution, agency, or standards body and the Kin Score applied to it.
