AVAAS exists because no one was checking.
Documented AI failures share one pattern. A system was trusted with a decision about a person, and no independent party had verified how it behaves. AVAAS Inc. was founded to be that party. It operates the Alignment Verification and Assurance Standard, an independent certification for AI systems at the point they decide.
The verification layer was missing
Wrongful arrests from facial recognition. Benefits clawed back by unlawful automation. Hiring software that screened people out by age. In every documented case, the failure was visible in how the system behaved, and no one independent had looked before the decision reached a person. AVAAS was built to look first, and to produce documented, third-party evidence of conformity to a published standard at the decision point.
People trust businesses and government with life-changing decisions. AVAAS certifies the AI behind them.

Yes. AVAAS is live and transactable at avaas.ai, and the Assessment engine is the first surface. KRTR is the first design partner working through evaluation.
What does AVAAS certify?
AI systems that make or shape decisions about people, across hiring, lending, insurance, housing, healthcare, government programs, and more.
What does a result look like?
A public letter grade, A, B, or F, backed by a private working layer with causal attribution and prescriptive remediation that the customer controls.
