SCORECARD

ExistencePOORNo documented API despite marketing claims; the real surface is SAP Business One's Service Layer underneath.
AccessPOOREvery integration goes through sales or professional services; there is no sign-up, get a key, build path.
CoveragePOORMetrc and BioTrack connectors are packaged end-user products; third parties cannot subscribe to Viridian data or events.
AuthPOORNo credential scheme of its own; auth defers to SAP B1 Service Layer sessions and licensing rules.
Docs & DXPOORNo portal, OpenAPI spec, sandbox, or webhook docs; SourceForge's profile lists no integrations at all.

Supergood: Viridian Sciences has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
