What are the API Evangelist papers?

butterfly About API Evangelist Updated August 12, 2026

Short answer

Research reports built from the catalog's machine-readable evidence. $25 topic papers, $500 Sector and Standard Reports, $750 Portfolio Reports, and deeper enterprise bundles.

The papers at papers.apievangelist.com are where the research gets written up and sold.

Standard papers, $25, distill a single topic out of sixteen years of writing — argued rather than neutral, in my voice, with the citations back to the original posts.

Sector Reports, $500, profile one slice of the landscape: an industry, a country, a tag grouping. Every provider in the slice scored on the Kin Score, the practice areas decomposed, agent readiness read, and the whole thing built from what those companies actually publish rather than from what they say in press releases. Two buyers: operators who work in the space, and investors looking at it.

Standard Reports, also $500, do the same for a single standard — what the body publishes, how much has graduated, who is in the coalition, and the gap between organizations claiming the standard and organizations shipping a conformant contract.

Portfolio Reports, $750, apply the sector method to a venture fund’s book of companies.

Enterprise Insights bundles go deeper on one account, combining a re-profile, a rescore, and demand signals extracted from that company’s own public surface.

What they have in common is that the evidence is machine-readable and reproducible. If a number is in a report, there is a fetch behind it.
