The Predicai Standard™

Five levels.
Seven gates.
Human-reviewed.

The operating reference for Academy. Predicai is not built around course completion. It is built around capability that holds up under real conditions.

The model is not the system.

The Standard is how work is verified. Every artifact, system, and output is evaluated against the same seven gates before it is accepted, advanced, or certified. This is the same standard used to evaluate every Predicai system, pilot, and certification.

The Standard defines what good AI-assisted work looks like at each stage of capability. It governs what is taught, what is submitted, what is reviewed, and what earns certification inside Academy. The five levels are fixed. What changes is what Gold looks like inside each role — Role Packs define the role-specific scenarios, benchmarks, and artifact context for Sales, Chief of Staff, Operations, RevOps, HR, and more.

You do not advance by watching videos. You do not earn certification by completing modules. You advance by submitting real work that is reviewed by a human Predicai architect against the 7 Gates — and it holds up. Builder Track gives you access. Advancement must be earned.

The Standard is also the basis for Signal's editorial quality bar, the Capability Diagnostic, and the 7 Gates applied to every Predicai output.

The Standard does not improve output.
It ensures output remains defensible under pressure.

01
Artifacts Required
Every level requires real work. Not summaries. Not reflections. Built things that do something.
02
Human Review
A Predicai architect reviews submissions. Advancement is not automated.
03
Certification Earned
Not awarded for attendance. Not auto-issued on completion. Earned through validated systems.
What does not pass
Output that is plausible but not verifiable — looks right, cannot be defended.
Systems that depend on the creator to explain them — not transferable, not scalable.
Work that cannot be used immediately in a real environment — theoretical, not operational.
If it does not hold up under real conditions, it does not advance.
Two Tracks

Know where you are
before you start.

Academy is structured as two tracks with different entry criteria, different objectives, and different certification outcomes.

Builder Track
Levels 1 – 3
Individual Capability

For operators, consultants, and executives building structured AI capability in their own work.

  • Public enrollment — no application required
  • Self-paced, lifetime access
  • Human review at every level
  • Earns the Builder Milestone at Level 3
  • Foundation for Advanced Track
$149 one-time — no subscription
Advanced Track
Levels 4 – 5 + Capstone
Operating Model Design

For operators, leaders, and teams responsible for how AI works across an organization — not just personally. Builder Track builds the workflow. Advanced Track hardens it under real-world pressure.

  • Application-based enrollment
  • Scoped to your environment
  • Governance, operating model, validation
  • Earns Final Predicai Certification
  • Requires Builder Track or demonstrated equivalent
Required for all engagements
Every Advanced Track engagement includes a core build phase: workflow audit, system design, Standard alignment, human review, and implementation support. Customization is applied on top of this baseline — not instead of it.
Application required scoped to your environment — pricing shared after fit review
The Five Levels

Capability that compounds.

Each level builds on the last. Each level requires real work. Each level is reviewed by a human before advancement is granted.

01
Builder Track Foundation
The Architect — Intent
Learn to define work clearly enough that AI does not have to guess. The Intent Protocol gives you seven components: Role, Context, Task, Constraints, Success Criteria, Output Format, and Reasoning Path. Until intent is precise, output cannot be trusted.
‣ Artifact: Structured Intent Protocol submission on a real work task
02
Builder Track Workflow
The Automator — Habits
Map your actual time allocation across a 3-day audit, identify your highest-leverage tasks, and redesign at least two recurring workflows to be AI-assisted. The goal is measurable time recovery — not vague productivity claims.
‣ Artifact: Time audit + redesigned workflow documentation
03
Builder Track Systems
The Builder — Systems
Move from individual workflows to repeatable systems. Build an operating toolkit — prompt library, context anchors, reusable structures — that others can pick up and run. This is where isolated prompting becomes a working system that does not depend on you to explain it every time.
‣ Artifact: Deployed system toolkit reviewed against the 7 Gates
✓ Builder Milestone
04
Advanced Track Governance
The Forecaster — Signal & Judgment
Use AI for analysis and foresight, not just generation. Learn to apply the Signal Map + Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) framework to read weak signals, run pre-mortems, and build a governance layer that defines what gets reviewed before it ships.
‣ Artifact: Signal Map + HITL governance layer documentation
05
Advanced Track Operating Model
The Leader — Scale
Design and document the operating model for AI use inside your organization — without you being the bottleneck. Governance, ownership, review steps, capability transfer. This is the difference between personal leverage and organizational capability.
‣ Artifact: Operating model with governance protocol and transfer plan
CAP
Advanced Track Certification
Capstone — System Dossier
All five levels validated as one connected operating system. The Capstone requires a Business Case with ROI logic, a System Logic artifact showing how all five artifacts govern each other, and a full operating model that could run without you present.
‣ Artifacts: Business Case + System Logic + Operating Model
✓ Final Predicai Certification
The 7 Gates of Quality

Every output earns its place.

The 7 Gates are applied at every Academy level, every Signal issue, and every Predicai output. They are not a checklist. They are a judgment framework.

Gate 01
Signal
Does it contain a genuine insight — something that shifts how you think or act? If not, it should not exist.
Gate 02
Clarity
Is the idea expressed at the right level of specificity? Vagueness is not neutrality. It is failure of intent.
Gate 03
Truth
Is it accurate and checkable? Plausible is not the same as defensible. Claims must be verifiable before they ship.
Gate 04
Relevance
Is it timely and connected to real stakes? Context-blind intelligence has no operational value.
Gate 05
Endurance
Will it still matter in six months? Durable insight compounds. Reactive output decays immediately.
Gate 06
Design
Is it structured to be used, not just read? Clarity of structure is not aesthetic preference. It is functional discipline.
Gate 07
Action
Does it tell you what to do next? Insight without a decision path is commentary. The Standard requires a move.
Certification

Earned. Not issued.

Predicai does not award credentials for attendance or completion. Two certification milestones exist inside the system, and both require demonstrated work.

✓ Builder Milestone
Earned at Level 3
The first major proof point. Signals that individual AI-enabled capability is operational and systems are in place.
  • Levels 1, 2, and 3 artifacts submitted and reviewed
  • Each level reviewed by a human Predicai architect
  • Systems toolkit validated against the 7 Gates
  • Not the final certification — Advanced Track continues from here
✓ Final Predicai Certification
Earned at the Capstone
The full credential. Awarded only when all five levels are validated as one connected operating system.
  • All five levels completed and human-reviewed
  • Business Case with ROI logic submitted
  • System Logic shows how artifacts govern each other
  • Operating model can run without the individual present
  • Capstone reviewed as a complete system, not individual parts
Not trained in AI. Proven in AI-enabled systems.
Before You Join

What Academy requires.

Academy is not passive. Access is given. Advancement is earned. Before enrolling, confirm you understand what the system asks of you.

Where The Standard shows up
Academy
The Standard governs every level — what passes, what gets revised, and what the human reviewer is looking for.
Capability Diagnostic
The Diagnostic measures where you operate against the Standard before you build.
Pilot
Every Advanced Track pilot applies the Standard to real workflows inside one function — measurable before and after.
Signal
Signal briefings are filtered through the Standard — what changed, what held up, and what it means for operators.

Build capability. Prove it under real conditions. Scale what holds up.
