AIUC-1 is a published standard for AI agents, with third-party assessment against its requirements. Certisyn issues an independent verdict on the governance claims an operator makes about its agents, as a sealed, policy-versioned, revocable record against the AI Governance Verified standard. The 2 serve neighbouring reliance decisions, and an operator can hold both.
| Property | AIUC-1 certification | Certisyn AIGVS verdict |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A published standard for AI agents with third-party assessment against its requirements | An independent determination of an operator's governance claims, issued against the AI Governance Verified standard |
| Unit assessed | An AI agent product against the standard's requirements | Each governance claim, against its evidence |
| Output | A certification | A sealed record with policy version, derivation root, public anchor, maturity level and revocation state |
| Replayable by a counterparty | Per the certifying body's process | Yes: the root is recomputable and the registry resolves publicly with no account |
| Gaps | Per the assessment scope | Every claim the evidence did not reach is listed, with the count out of the total assessed |
| Standard publication | Published by AIUC | Published at the IETF as an individual Internet-Draft, open for review |
A certification tells a buyer that an agent was assessed against a standard. A verdict tells a counterparty which governance claims hold against evidence today, under which policy version, and which claims remain open. A buyer reading both sees the standard the agent was held to and the evidence behind the operator's statements.
The 2 address neighbouring needs. AIUC-1 is a published standard for AI agents with third-party assessment. Certisyn issues an independent determination of the specific governance claims an operator makes, bound to a policy version, anchored publicly and revocable. An operator can hold both.
A record it can replay. The derivation root is recomputable, the anchor fixes the time of issue, the claims the evidence did not reach are listed, and the registry shows the current revocation state.
