OkapiSigHuman-verified certification for AI-era products

Trust through transparency.
Verified by humans.

OkapiSig certifies that digital products meet the OkapiSpec standard for openness, knowledge integrity, accountability, provenance, and inspectability. If it's not in the Sig, it's not on the Seal.

OKAPI Framework

The five pillars of OkapiSpec. Every certification evaluates products across five fundamental dimensions of trustworthiness.

Openness

Transparent methodologies, open documentation, and accessible processes that build public trust.

Knowledge Integrity

Accurate, well-sourced information with clear distinction between human and AI-generated content.

Accountability

Clear ownership, responsibility chains, and remediation processes for issues and errors.

Provenance

Traceable origins for data, models, and content with complete audit trails.

Inspectability

Products can be examined, tested, and verified by independent stewards at any time.

Human Verification

Every check is performed by a certified steward — no automated approvals, ever.

Certification Workflow

How OkapiSig works. A rigorous certification process from application to public verification.

1. Register your product

Create your account, add your product, and select the certification tier (LV1, LV1-M, or AI1).

2. Steward-led audit

A certified steward performs 20 checks across all five OKAPI pillars against the OkapiSpec standard.

3. Review & activation

Once all checks pass with zero critical or high findings, your certification is activated and published.

4. Public verification

Your product appears in the public registry. Embed the OkapiSeal badge to display your certification.

5. Quarterly rechecks

Certifications are valid for 90 days. Automated reminders ensure timely rechecks to maintain active status.

6. Continuous trust

Every certification is verifiable via the public registry, API, and embeddable OkapiSeal badge widget.
