SCORECARD

ExistencePOORThe quote and bind API is real but publicly undocumented; developer.embroker.com resolves to no reference.
AccessPOOROnboarding runs through broker appointment and partner BD conversations; there is no developer signup.
CoveragePOORDocumented scope is Excess Tech E&O and Cyber only; primary D&O, EPLI, BOP, WC, and GL lines have no API path.
AuthPOORPartner key issued bearer tokens are described only in blog coverage; no public auth reference exists.
Docs & DXPOORNo public docs, OpenAPI spec, sandbox, or SDKs; documentation arrives only after partner onboarding.
StabilityMIXEDCarrier paper backing changes can shift quote eligibility, and partners get no published changelog.
Supergood: Embroker has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
