Notes & best practices

• Metrics are normalized (1 –100%) — perfect for ranking & visualizations.
• Results are not paginated; use vendorDomain/productId to reduce size if needed.
• Sorting is not guaranteed — sort on the client (e.g., by adoption or intensity).
• For deterministic validation, pair with:
  • POST /companies/{domain}/products-in-use — confirm presence of specific products.
  • GET /companies/{domain}/products/paged — fetch installed products with details.

404	Not found	Unknown companyDomain or cohort not configured.
429	Rate limit exceeded	Retry with exponential backoff; respect Retry-After.
