# AI CRED

> AI CRED is the standard for AI fluency assessment. A conversational evaluation platform that measures how effectively professionals leverage AI tools, providing standardized scoring, personalized learning plans, and verifiable credentials for the AI-augmented workforce.

AI CRED provides infrastructure for proving and developing AI fluency through:
- Standardized 6-section conversational assessments (~30 minutes)
- Multi-dimensional scoring across 5 competency areas
- Personalized 12-week learning plans with AI-graded exercises
- Public profiles and leaderboards for credential verification
- Velocity ratings tracking learning trajectory

## What AI CRED Measures

AI CRED evaluates fluency across 5 weighted competency dimensions:

| Dimension | Weight | Description |
|-----------|--------|-------------|
| AI Delegation & Direction | 20% | How you hand work to AI: task framing, intent, context, constraints, examples, iteration, and knowing what NOT to delegate |
| Technical & Model Literacy | 15% | Model behavior, context windows, tool use, cost and capability tradeoffs, failure modes |
| Verification & Judgment | 20% | QA as structure: named checks, cross-model verification, source tracing, rigor scaled to stakes, responsible use |
| Practical Implementation | 20% | Real workflows with measurable outcomes, not experiments |
| Workflow, Skills, Agents & Harnesses | 25% | Reusable primitives (saved instructions, skills, templates, automations, agents), harness literacy (tool gating, checkpoints, review gates, tests, monitoring) |

Scores range from 1-10 with granular subscores. Each assessment includes a Velocity Rating (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) indicating learning trajectory and improvement potential.

## The Perpetual Loop

AI CRED operates on a continuous improvement model:

1. **Evaluate** - Complete conversational assessment ($20/credit)
2. **Learn** - Access personalized 12-week learning plan (FREE)
3. **Practice** - Complete AI-graded exercises (FREE)
4. **Level Up** - Take level-up assessment to prove growth
5. **Repeat** - Continue the cycle for ongoing development

### Profile Context API

For programmatic access to user profile data, each public profile has a JSON context endpoint:

- **Endpoint**: `/api/profile/{username}/context`
- **Format**: JSON-LD with structured AI fluency data
- **Access**: Public for all public profiles
- **Use Cases**: LLM context, verification systems, profile aggregation

Example: `https://aicred.ai/api/profile/johndoe/context`

Returns machine-readable profile data including:
- Current AI fluency score and velocity rating
- Score interpretation and learning trajectory
- Work experience and social links
- Assessment methodology and verification details

This endpoint is designed for LLM consumption and third-party integrations.

## Assessment Process

The evaluation consists of 6 discrete sections:

1. **Introduction** - Context setting and background
2. **Technical Depth** - Knowledge assessment
3. **Practical Scenarios** - Real-world application
4. **Follow-up Questions** - Clarification and elaboration
5. **Edge Cases** - Handling complexity and ambiguity
6. **Synthesis** - Integration and summary

Each section generates focused summaries enabling accurate, token-efficient scoring. The AI evaluator controls section transitions based on response quality and completeness.
