INDEPENDENCE

Why trust us

A mark is worth exactly as much as the discipline behind it. These are our commitments, and they are publicly checkable.

We do not sell fixes

Whoever certifies must not profit from finding problems. The fixes are yours to make, or whoever you choose.
Published criteria

The standard and every threshold are public. Nobody passes on a discount.
Revocations are public

If a site degrades after certification, the badge comes down and the registry shows it.
Separation of roles

Whoever wrote the code does not certify it, and the reviewer has no commercial relationship with the client under audit. The conflict-of-interest rules are enforced by the system itself.
Measured accuracy

We measure our method against a test corpus with known answers, and we publish the result when the measurement is complete. Until then we quote no percentage.
Appeals

Disagree with a finding? There is a written appeals process with a response deadline.
Money-back guarantee

If we miss a serious flaw, we refund the cost of the audit and repeat it.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a government or accredited body?: No. We are a private, independent mark with published criteria. We do not replace obligations set by law.
Do you guarantee it cannot be breached?: No, and nobody can. We certify that at the moment of the audit it met the published criteria, and we keep re-checking.
