Part I: The Origin of AIFC
36. Certification Model
1 min read
If compliance can be claimed, it can be abused.
Therefore AIFC needed a certification model.
The certification model asks:
- What is the scope?
- What level is claimed?
- What evidence exists?
- Who reviewed it?
- Is it self-assessment or independent review?
- What are the exceptions?
- What is the validity period?
- What are the gaps?
- What is the improvement plan?
This protects against certification theater.
The principle:
No certification without scope. No claim without evidence. No maturity without review.
AIFC certification is not meant to be a decoration.
It should verify governed capability.
