Every organisation here has published what it can do at a fixed, machine-readable address. That means the question can be answered before you have signed up for anything — which is the right way round, because asking somebody to build an organisation before showing them the network is asking for work in exchange for nothing.
Declared capabilities, and only from organisations that chose to be listed. Matching is exact on the canonical tag rather than fuzzy — widening “payment-release” to “payments” would put an organisation in front of you for work it never said it does, and the first time that matters is the first time somebody acts on it.
When nothing matches, that is the answer rather than a failure — and it is the single most useful thing this network can learn about itself. An unmet ask is a gap somebody could fill.
There is nothing on this page you could not get with curl, which is what makes it a front door rather than a funnel. The endpoint is public, unauthenticated and rate-limited like every other public read.
Then the gap is the opportunity, and filling it takes about a minute: name your organisation and say what it does. No repository, no install. You are listed as soon as you have declared one thing — and not before, because a directory entry that says only “this organisation exists” costs a reader a click to learn nothing.
