Platforms market integration counts, but most are API pass-throughs. The Integration Quality Score measures depth, freshness, error handling, performance, and auth complexity on a 5-20 scale.
Depth Spectrum (API pass-through → deep domain intelligence), Freshness (updated within 30 days → 2+ years stale), Error Handling (raw errors → self-healing), Rate Limit Handling (none → sophisticated queuing), Auth Complexity (custom → one-click OAuth).
Self-hosted platforms offload integration maintenance to users. Managed platforms handle freshness, error recovery, and rate limiting at the platform level — users never discover a deprecated API the hard way.
P1 — Integration count is the most misleading number in automation. A platform with 200 deep integrations may be more useful than one with 5,000 shallow API pass-throughs.
