The Pre-Certification Assessment gives organizations a clear understanding of how their AI systems and governance practices align with the Provenance & Integrity Standard before entering formal certification. It clarifies which certification pathway applies, identifies the jurisdictional annexes relevant to the organization's operations, and outlines the evidence categories that will be required during formal evaluation. This is a neutral orientation step — not an audit, advisory service, or guarantee of certification outcome.
A neutral, high-level orientation to the Provenance & Integrity Standard and your organization's certification readiness.

Identification of broad governance categories relevant to certification. A recommended certification pathway — ASIC for AI builders or AOIC for AI deployers. An overview of jurisdictional annex coverage relevant to the organization's operations. A non-binding readiness summary to support internal planning and legal preparation.
