Dayforward

Dayforward is a New York-based life insurance technology and services group founded in 2019 by Aaron Shapiro. It owns Commercial Travelers Life Insurance Company (NY-domiciled carrier) and Dayforward Insurance Agency LLC (licensed in all 50 states), and sells income-replacement term life insurance direct to consumers at dayforward.com. Since pivoting to B2B at dayforward.io it licenses Workbench — a SaaS platform covering the full life insurance lifecycle from agent selling and automated underwriting through policy administration and service — plus managed distribution, underwriting and administration services to other carriers and distributors. Workbench is marketed as including "APIs, plug-and-play widgets, single sign-on support, and robust administration tools", but Dayforward publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI definition or SDKs.

Dayforward publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Insurance, Life Insurance, Insurtech, and Financial-Services.

Dayforward’s developer surface includes signup flow, support, FAQ, and 11 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance 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/dayforward: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
