Ecosystem Connectivity is the degree to which distinct platforms, services, and participants in a technology ecosystem can discover, interoperate with, and exchange value across one another. It depends on shared standards, compatible interfaces, and gateways that link otherwise siloed systems. High connectivity amplifies network effects and lowers switching and integration costs across the ecosystem.

- Connectivity arises from shared protocols, open APIs, and bridging infrastructure that let independent systems integrate without bespoke effort. As more participants connect, the value to each grows superlinearly, reinforcing adoption while raising the importance of governance over standards and access.
