Brace

Brace (Brace Software, Inc., brace.ai) was a Culver City, California fintech founded in 2017 by Eric Rachmel and Amr Mohamed that rebuilt mortgage default servicing as software. Its Default Management Platform covered the end-to-end loss-mitigation lifecycle for servicers, lenders and investors — a homeowner engagement portal, a centralized responsive application, a rules and underwriting engine, document classification and data extraction, and event-driven communications and reporting — replacing the paper-based, inconsistent default workflows used by top U.S. mortgage servicers. The company raised a reported ~$30M and was acquired by Boston-based mortgage technology firm Stavvy, announced 1 August 2023, folding Brace's loss-mitigation platform into Stavvy's eClosing, digital notarization and foreclosure suite. Brace does not survive as an independent surface: brace.ai now 301-redirects every path to stavvy.com/mortgage-servicing-solution, and no docs., developer., api. or app. subdomain resolves in DNS. No public API, developer portal, machine-readable specification or SDK was ever published under the Brace brand — the Wayback CDX index for brace.ai carries no developer or API path — so this profile records identity and exit rather than an API surface.

Brace is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Mortgage, Mortgage Servicing, Loss Mitigation, and Default Servicing.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/brace: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: Brace was acquired by Stavvy (announced 1 August 2023) and fully absorbed — brace.ai now 301-redirects every path,
    including /robots.txt, to stavvy.com/mortgage-servicing-solution, and docs., developer., api. and app.brace.ai have all
    been removed from DNS, so there is no Brace-branded surface left to read.
