The data exists. Finding it is the problem.

Enforcement records span dozens of federal and state agencies, each with different formats and access methods. A nursing home's full compliance history might live across CMS, OSHA, DOJ, and state health departments, with nothing to connect them. Researchers, lawyers, and underwriters spend days doing work that should take seconds.

And now, government data is being actively deleted. The window to preserve the public record is closing.

Fragmented Across Agencies

DOJ, OSHA, CMS, PACER, EPA, and dozens of state agencies each maintain separate databases with nothing linking them together.

Disappearing Fast

Federal agencies are actively removing enforcement data. Records that existed last month may be gone next week, permanently.

No Cross-Agency Linking

"Valley Stream Nursing Home" in CMS and "Valley Stream Facility LLC" in OSHA are the same institution. No system connects them.

Manual and Expensive

Law firms spend thousands per case on paralegals running manual FOIA requests and database searches that return incomplete results.

Four reasons this matters right now.

Government Data Is Being Deleted

Federal agencies are removing enforcement records from public databases. The window to save them is open now and closing fast. Getting in early means owning the archive.

AI Makes Cross-Agency Matching Possible

AI can now match records across agencies even when names don't match exactly. This wasn't possible a few years ago.

Legal Tech Is Buying Now

Top law firms are actively spending on data tools. The market is ready and buying, not just exploring.

Regulatory Environment Intensifying

Enforcement actions against nursing homes, prisons, and hospitals are accelerating. More actions mean more litigation, more underwriting, more demand.

One engine. Every enforcement record.

Bryfd continuously collects enforcement data, matches records across agencies even when names differ, and makes everything searchable through an API and web interface. We preserve records that agencies delete.

Three types of buyers. One product.

Enforcement data is used by anyone who needs to understand institutional risk, whether for legal liability, insurance coverage, or public accountability.

Legal

Case intake to settlement

Plaintiff and defense attorneys need complete enforcement histories before taking a case. Past violations affect liability, settlement value, and how experts frame the case.

Plaintiff Firms Defense Firms In-House Counsel Legal Research

Insurance

Underwriting & risk pricing

Underwriters setting rates for healthcare institutions need enforcement history to price risk accurately. Without it, policies are mispriced.

Underwriters Risk Analysts Claims Teams Actuaries

Investigative

Accountability & compliance

Journalists, compliance officers, and public interest organizations need enforcement data to hold institutions accountable and find patterns that no single database can show.

Investigative Journalists Compliance Officers Advocacy Groups Academic Researchers

Nothing else does what Bryfd does.

Existing tools only cover one agency at a time, cost too much, or require manual work. None connect records across agencies or preserve deleted data.
