Tomo Guides

Tomo Guides is the home-buying guide and educational content produced by Tomo Mortgage (tomo.com), a consumer digital mortgage lender backed by a16z. Tomo offers home purchase mortgages and refinancing with $0 lender fees and rates advertised at roughly 0.25% below the market median, alongside its TrueRate tool that shows a fair rate before applying and state-by-state interest-rate pages. The "Guides" surface is Tomo's home-buying-guide blog content aimed at first-time and repeat buyers, not a developer product. As of this enrichment pass Tomo publishes no public developer API, OpenAPI definition, developer portal, documentation site, or .well-known metadata; the company's web presence is entirely consumer-facing. This profile was surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and is retained as a company record with no API artifacts.

Tomo Guides is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Mortgage, Fintech, Real Estate, and Home Buying.

Tomo Guides’ developer surface includes engineering blog, signup flow, and 2 more developer resources.

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/tomo-guides: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
