Bench IQ

Bench IQ is a legal technology company building an AI-powered judicial intelligence platform that analyzes how individual judges reason and rule. Rather than limiting analysis to the roughly 3% of matters that produce written opinions, Bench IQ studies the reasoning behind all of a judge's rulings so litigators can anticipate decisions, craft stronger arguments, and shape case strategy. Founded by the team behind ROSS Intelligence — CEO Jimoh Ovbiagele and CTO Maxim Isakov — together with former Kirkland & Ellis restructuring partner Jeffrey Gettleman, the company says four of the top five AmLaw 100 firms rely on its analysis. It is backed by Battery Ventures, Inovia Capital, and Haystack, along with leading law firms including Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Fenwick & West, and Cooley.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Bench IQ the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Bench IQ scores 14.4/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Bench IQ

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Bench IQ. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
