Academi
ACADEMI was the 2011-2014 name of the American private military, security and training company founded on 26 December 1996 in North Carolina by Erik Prince and Al Clark as Blackwater. It was renamed Blackwater Worldwide in October 2007 after the Nisour Square shooting in Baghdad, then Xe Services LLC in February 2009. In December 2010 the training business and its Moyock, North Carolina campus - the largest private training facility in the United States - were bought by USTC Holdings, an investor consortium led by Forte Capital Advisors and Manhattan Strategic Ventures, ending Erik Prince's involvement, and the company was rebranded ACADEMI in December 2011 under chairman Red McCombs. In June 2014 Academi Training Center, LLC was merged with Triple Canopy, Constellis Ltd., Strategic Social, Tidewater Global Services, National Strategic Protective Services and International Development Solutions to form Constellis Holdings, which Apollo Global Management acquired in September 2016 and which is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia. The ACADEMI brand was retired in the merger: Constellis states on its own site that "Academi remains part of historical, legal, and contractual records, but Constellis does not operate under the Academi name", and the Moyock campus now trades as the Constellis Training Center. The business sells physical services - firearms, driving, maritime, K-9, UAS/C-UAS and advanced security and military training, protective security details, and logistics and complex program management for United States government customers - not software. It never operated a developer program, public API, SDK, webhook surface or machine-readable API specification, and academi.com no longer serves a website: the domain is retained by Constellis for email only. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Academi the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Academi scores 3.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
ACADEMI is a retired brand, not a live company - Academi Training Center, LLC was one of seven entities merged into Constellis Holdings in June 2014, and Constellis states on its own site that "Constellis does not operate under the Academi name" - and the domain academi.com is now web-retired: port 443 fails the TLS handshake outright and port 80 returns HTTP 409 with a Cloudflare error-1001 body on every path, while DNS keeps only mail (Proofpoint MX, SPF, DMARC p=reject reporting to itsec@constellis.com).
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Academi does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Academi
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Academi. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Academi, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
