Pre‑Certification Assessment

A neutral, high‑level orientation to the Provenance & Integrity Standard.

The Pre‑Certification Assessment gives organizations a clear, high‑level understanding of how their AI systems align with the Provenance & Integrity Standard. It clarifies scope, identifies which certification pathway applies, and outlines what evidence categories will be relevant during formal certification. This is a neutral orientation step, not an audit or implementation service.

What This Assessment Provides

  • A high‑level review of the AI systems and use cases within scope

  • A mapping of organizational practices to the Standard’s three pillars:

    • Integrity

    • Provenance

    • Vendor Independence

  • Identification of broad governance categories relevant to certification

  • A recommended certification pathway (ASIC for builders, AOIC for buyers)

  • An overview of evidence types required during formal certification

  • A non‑binding readiness summary to support internal planning

What This Assessment Does Not Include

To preserve ATIC’s neutrality, this assessment does not include:

  • implementation or remediation

  • evidence preparation

  • governance program design

  • vendor selection or recommendations

  • technical testing or evaluation

  • certification guarantees

Who This Assessment Is For

  • AI builders preparing for ASIC

  • Organizations deploying AI preparing for AOIC

  • Leaders seeking clarity before formal certification

  • Teams evaluating governance maturity

Outcome

Organizations receive a concise, institutional readiness summary that clarifies their position relative to the Standard and outlines next steps for internal teams or external partners.
