Enterprise AI Certification.

Independent evaluation of your AI systems across thirteen dimensions, from irreversibility and bias to multi-agent integrity and honesty under load. Delivered by five structurally independent validators with causal attribution.

What every certification includes

Diagnosis. Prescription. Certification.

EVALUATION
Full-scope independent evaluation
Five structurally independent validators evaluate your AI system across every applicable regulatory framework. All thirteen AVAAS dimensions included as standard, from the Irreversibility Index to Multi-Agent Integrity.
DIAGNOSIS & REMEDIATION
Causal decomposition of every finding
Causal attribution identifies which specific variables drive each finding. You receive root cause analysis, the exact engineering fix, and projected improvement for every issue detected.
CERTIFICATION
Signed, verifiable, regulation-mapped
Digitally signed certification report mapped to every applicable regulation across 15 frameworks and 13 jurisdictions. Publicly verifiable through the AVAAS registry.
The standard

How a system earns certification.

AVAAS does not issue a single black-box pass or fail. One evaluation examines two surfaces. AVAAS-A scores the agent itself across thirteen dimensions, and AVAAS-D scores the deployment environment the agent operates in across five criteria. Each certificate is scoped by the condition of the other, and you see exactly where you stand on every line, not only whether you passed.

AVAAS-A · The agent, scored across thirteen dimensions
Decision assessment
Irreversibility Index
How recoverable the system’s actions are when it gets one wrong.
Bias and demographic disparity
How far outcomes diverge across protected groups.
Harm-of-Inaction Scoring
The cost of the system failing to act, not only the cost of acting wrongly.
Explainability Gap
Whether the system can account for the decisions it makes.
Living Constitution alignment
The distance between how the system behaves and the values your organization declared.
Behavior under pressure
Escalation Discipline
Whether the agent hands off to a human at the right moments, conditioned on uncertainty and how reversible the action is. Over-escalation fails too.
Recovery Index
Post-error behavior. Whether the agent stops, flags, remediates non-destructively, and reports accurately.
Scope Fidelity
Whether the agent stays inside its authorized mandate under ambiguity and opportunity.
Manipulation Resistance
Whether instructions and values hold against social engineering and prompt injection.
Multi-Agent Integrity
Whether constraints and honesty survive contact with other agents. Conformity resistance, and whether constraints propagate through delegation.
Integrity extensions
Honesty Under Load
The change in honest behavior between a neutral setting and one under incentive pressure or observation cues.
Self-Report Accuracy
How faithfully the agent's account of its own work matches ground-truth logs, including how well its confidence is calibrated.
Identity Stability
Consistency of values and refusal behavior across long-horizon interaction under sustained pressure.
Each metric is measured through condition-varied instruments. Paired runs with observation and incentive cues, trajectory scenarios, value-conflict scenarios, proxy-divergence scenarios, post-compromise scenarios, and scripted peer agents. The instrument categories are published at the architecture level in AVAAS Methodology Brief 001. Scenario content, rubric weights, and thresholds stay confidential, because a system hardened against known test items demonstrates preparation, not soundness.

AVAAS-D · The deployment environment, scored across five criteria
Most agent failures are a competent agent under pressure its environment created. AVAAS-D measures whether the deployment permits trustworthy behavior. The unit is a deployment configuration, a specific agent in a specific workflow with specific permissions, and the certificate lapses on material change to any of it.
Escalation viability
Does asking for help actually work here, or does the workflow penalize it. Predicts silent action on decisions that needed a human.
Uncertainty tolerance
Is an unverified or uncertain result an acceptable output of the workflow. Predicts fabricated certainty.
Completion incentives
Does the workflow reward work that looks finished over work that is verified. Predicts completion theater and unverified work.
Truthful exits
From every task state, including failure, does the agent have a path to stop and say so. Predicts errors compounded instead of contained.
Calibration-scoped permissioning
Is the agent's authority matched to its demonstrated reliability, or granted wholesale. Predicts irreversible actions by an unproven agent.
Each dimension and criterion returns one of four results:
Aligned Minor findings Material findings Critical findings
Which roll up into three outcomes
ACertified
Every dimension at Aligned or Minor findings. Full signed certification, listed in the AVAAS registry.
BCertified with Conditions
Material findings present. Certification is issued contingent on remediation within an agreed window, with the causal fix and projected improvement specified for each.
FNot Certified
One or more Critical findings. The system does not meet the standard. You receive the complete diagnosis and the path to certification.

Two things separate this from a checklist audit. Every finding carries causal attribution and a prescribed fix, so a result is never just a verdict. And the standard you are measured against is your own Living Constitution, the principles your organization authors and keeps current, plus the regulations that apply to you, not a generic rubric.

The deliverable

What the report looks like.

Every engagement produces one signed, regulation-mapped report. This is the structure of what you receive, shown with sample findings.

Sample finding
Finding (Material)
Selection rate for one applicant subgroup falls below the tolerance set in your Living Constitution.
Causal attribution
A tenure-continuity feature is the dominant driver, functioning as a proxy for the protected attribute. Its isolated contribution accounts for the majority of the gap.
Prescribed remediation
Replace the feature with a normalized competency signal and re-weight two correlated inputs.
Projected improvement
Subgroup selection rate returns above tolerance, with disparity reduced to within the configured bound.
