01
Proof before promotion
Registration, insurance, ownership, delivery capacity, and client evidence are reviewed before a vendor can use the approval mark.
Approved Vendor Certification
The approval layer for credible AI vendors.
∞ALTA gives credible AI vendors a buyer-ready trust mark backed by assessment, diligence, verification, and commercial review.

The standard
Built for credibility. Structured for commercial trust.
The program is built for AI vendors, technical implementation partners, brokers, and insurance-aligned service providers who want to be taken seriously by executive buyers.
02
Commercial buyer confidence
The review translates technical capability into the risk, readiness, and credibility signals leadership teams actually need.
03
Annual renewal
Certification is time-bound. Approved vendors must keep evidence current and disclose material changes.
Assessment threshold

How approval works
A clear path from intake to approved vendor status.
The process is designed to create confidence without slowing down serious vendors who already have their evidence in order.
Vendor intake
Vendor submits profile, company registration, insurance documentation, service scope, target markets, and reference candidates.
Evidence review
∞ALTA reviews documentation, confirms registration, checks insurance coverage, and flags missing or inconsistent material.
Technical review
A technical reviewer evaluates security posture, delivery method, integration readiness, team credentials, and operational maturity.
Reference calls
Client references are contacted to confirm delivery quality, responsiveness, outcome claims, and implementation risk.
Due diligence report
Findings are converted into a concise report with score, risks, strengths, remediation items, and approval recommendation.
Certification issued
Approved vendors receive the certification artwork, verification ID, usage rules, renewal timeline, and partner onboarding steps.
