CriterIA© is the seal for responsible, criterion-led use of AI. It verifies method and culture against the private CriterIA© methodology — and anchors every issuance on the blockchain.

Three levels · all anchored on blockchain

It is issued by maturity.

Awareness → Practice → Culture. Every issuance carries its own hash on the blockchain, and Level III requires external documented verification.

Nivel I

Awareness

The organisation knows the framework, identifies its AI uses and states human oversight principles.

0x7F3A…9C2E
Nivel II

Practice

It applies real controls, records and governance processes to its AI systems in operation.

0x91C0…4D7A
Nivel III

Culture

Criterion becomes culture: mature governance, external audit and continuous improvement. Double ring on the seal.

Verifiable, not decorative

From issuance to a verifiable credential.

The hash anchors every issuance on the blockchain. Anyone can check issuer, holder, level and date without going through us.

Blockchain anchoring

The file hash is calculated and sealed on blockchain, with its .ots on-chain proof receipt.

Seal with its hash

The seal is personalised with the hash and the level, ready to use in SVG and PNG.

A QR leads to the verification page: issuer, holder, level, date and status. Anyone can check it.

OUR THESIS · SINCE 2024

Without literacy, reskilling and governance, AI is not an advantage: it is a risk

We have been arguing this for more than two years, before the Regulation that now proves us right existed. Artificial intelligence does not fail because of the technology: it fails when it enters an organisation that does not know how to use it, has not redesigned its processes to receive it and has no way of deciding who answers for what it produces. In that scenario it saves no work: it multiplies the error, makes it faster and spreads it further.

The CriterIA© seal verifies that all three are in place. It is not a report: it trains the organisation's people, verifies seventy-nine points across eight dimensions and three pillars and issues a seal anchored on blockchain that anyone can check without going through us.

A law firm tells you whether you comply. We train your team, redesign how you work and then issue our private verification seal. Those are three different things and almost nobody does all three. We applied it at home before any client: that is why we build AI suites faster, know before applying whether a grant has a real chance, have our consultant network trained with an auditable record, and make fewer mistakes, because verification is separated from drafting.

What CriterIA© is — and what it is not.

CriterIA© assesses AI literacy (Art. 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), reskilling and organisational governance for the responsible use of artificial intelligence. It is a private, voluntary methodological seal, aligned with the spirit of the codes of conduct in Art. 95 of the Regulation. It does not constitute the EU declaration of conformity or the CE marking provided for in the Regulation, nor does it replace any applicable conformity assessment procedure (Arts. 43-44), and it is not a certification issued by an accredited body. What it does verify: that the organisation has method, training and a culture of criterion in its use of AI — verifiably, with every issuance anchored on blockchain.

Technological transparency: we apply our own method to ourselves

Our clients' data is stored in the European Union (Ireland). Calls to AI models involve a transfer to the United States under standard contractual clauses.

If you use generative AI, four rules: always take a commercial plan with a DPA, never consumer accounts. Check how your provider transfers data.

Four ways to start. None of them ties you to the next.

Complying with the Regulation does not start with a project: it starts by knowing where you stand. The number says how many points are reviewed: seven, twenty-five or sixty.
