Scope
Define the exact AI system, version, deployment context, intended use, and evidence boundary.
Independent AI certification authority
Clause5afe evaluates defined AI systems through an independent certification process, maintains continuing evidence pathways across the certification lifecycle, and builds the public verification layer that allows customers, regulators, insurers, investors, and the market to inspect the claim.
We certify. We do not consult. No implementation, remediation, readiness assessment, or guaranteed outcome.
Certification path
Clause5afe assesses the evidence and controls the certification decision. The client remains responsible for operating, changing, governing, and remediating its own AI system.
Define the exact AI system, version, deployment context, intended use, and evidence boundary.
Qualified evaluators examine technical, governance, oversight, and operational evidence.
Quality review separates evidence gathering from the authority that makes the certification decision.
A controlled decision establishes outcome, scope, conditions, status, and the public verification record.
Continuous Monitoring
Certification establishes a decision against a defined system and evidence set. Continuous monitoring helps identify meaningful change, incidents, operational signals, and new evidence during the certification validity period without turning telemetry into an automatic certification decision.
Evidence ecosystem
Clause5afe can evaluate evidence produced by approved monitoring technologies, client systems, operational records, and human review while retaining control over admissibility, interpretation, re-assessment, and certification status.
Trust & Governance Center
Clause5afe should not ask the market to trust a marketing claim. The public trust layer exposes approved rules, boundaries, procedures, institutional controls, and status records that make the claim testable.
Commercial activity, evaluation, review, and certification decisions are governed through explicit separation and conflict controls.
Public mapping explains relationship to external laws and standards without implying another body’s certification or regulatory approval.
Approved public procedures will carry document IDs, owners, effective dates, change history, and superseded versions.
The public Registry is the verification destination for approved certificate scope and current status.
Framework Coverage
Clause5afe’s public framework layer explains how certification criteria relate to external standards, laws, and governance frameworks. Coverage is defined by requirements, scope, and evidence, not by headline framework counts.
Public boundary
It is not represented as ISO/IEC 42001 certification, accreditation, regulatory approval, legal immunity, a safe harbor, or a guarantee of compliance.
Public Registry
The Registry will publish only approved certification records and expose the current scope, version, status, validity, and relevant lifecycle history of a certification. No decorative badge should be trusted without a record behind it.
Only certification records authorized for publication appear in the public Registry.
Review the Registry modelInstitutional pathways
Public verification, certification-client work, employee operations, and investor diligence should never be collapsed into one account system. Each relationship receives the access boundary appropriate to it.
Verify published certification scope, status, validity, and lifecycle history from the authoritative public record.
Certification clientsThe secure entry point for certification cases, evidence exchange, findings, material changes, monitoring, and certificates.
Authorized diligenceA controlled route for approved investor, strategic, and institutional diligence beyond the public Trust & Governance Center.
Industry pathways
The initial six sectors reflect the current Clause5afe focus areas while preserving system-specific scoping and room for consequential use cases outside those categories.
