PRIVATE GOVERNANCE INTAKE

Start the process that turns AI governance into independently verifiable governance proof

GAFAIG certification is for organizations that want deterministic, independently verifiable AI governance outcomes. Verification is performed inside a controlled private review environment. Certification is evaluated privately. After certification is achieved, the organization may elect publication as a signed public certification surface.

The public certification registry is not the application system. Intake, evidence review, findings, deterministic scoring, governance review, and certification decisions occur inside the private GAFAIG verification engine. Only explicitly published certification outcomes become public governance trust surfaces.

Enterprise intake pathway

GAFAIG intake establishes the organization’s private governance review pathway

Enterprise intake organizes organization identity, AI governance scope, governance controls, evidence readiness, and review posture before private verification begins. This staged pathway helps organizations understand how GAFAIG moves from intake to private review and, only after certification approval and explicit publication election, to public governance trust surfaces.

1
Organization Identity

Establish the organization, jurisdiction, governance lead, and operating context.

2
AI Governance Scope

Identify systems, intended uses, risk domains, deployment scale, and oversight posture.

3
Governance Controls

Describe human oversight, escalation, audit controls, and review processes.

4
Evidence Readiness

Prepare governance policies, audit materials, attestations, and evidence references.

5
Review Checkpoint

Review the intake posture before private verification workflow continuation.

6
Private Verification

GAFAIG evaluates governance privately before any certification or publication.

Who should apply

Teams that need credible independently verifiable governance proof

Organizations deploying AI governance systems in production

Apply if AI governance systems influence products, services, infrastructure, internal workflows, governance operations, or material decisions.

Teams responsible for oversight, compliance, or risk

Apply if your organization needs a structured verification process for responsible AI governance, oversight controls, human review, and operational accountability.

Companies preparing for external scrutiny

Apply if customers, regulators, partners, investors, or the public may need independently verifiable proof that AI governance outcomes have been certified and published.

What you receive

A public governance proof layer, not just an internal review

Private certification outcome

A formal GAFAIG certification outcome supported by structured review, findings, evidence, deterministic scoring, and Snowflake-originated governance execution.

Optional public certification surface

A canonical public certification surface may be published only after certification is achieved and the organization explicitly elects publication.

Independent verification endpoint

A signed public governance proof surface that can be validated outside GAFAIG using the exact proof.messageString, signature, and public key.

Portable governance trust surfaces

Widget, badge, SDK, and API governance trust surfaces allow a published certification outcome to travel across the web.

What happens next

From application to certified public governance surface

GAFAIG does not treat this as a generic contact form. Submitting an application initiates a structured private verification workflow that can lead to a certification outcome and, if publication is elected, a signed public certification surface.

1
Application received

Your submission is recorded and routed into the GAFAIG intake workflow.

2
Private verification process

GAFAIG evaluates governance, evidence, controls, and human oversight structures in a private review environment.

3
Optional public governance trust surface

Certified outcomes may be published as independently verifiable public certification surfaces only if publication is elected.

Submit application

Begin the process that can produce a certified public governance proof surface

Submit your organization details to begin the GAFAIG verification process. This creates an intake record for private review and routes your application into the verification workflow. Applying does not place your organization into the public certification registry.

Certification is private. Publication is explicit. A public certification registry listing occurs only after certification is achieved and the organization elects publication.

You do not need complete documentation to begin. GAFAIG intake is designed to structure the verification process from your current governance state.

Before you submit

Takes about 2 minutes to begin. Full verification happens after intake.

This submission initiates a GAFAIG verification workflow. No certification is granted without full evaluation. Nothing is published publicly by submitting this form.

What happens after you submit
• A GAFAIG intake record is created
• Your submission is reviewed in a private verification environment
• You are contacted to continue the structured verification process
• Certification is only granted after full evaluation
• Public governance publication occurs only if the organization elects publication
Important

Submitting this form does not publish anything publicly. Certification is evaluated privately. Public certification registry listing occurs only if the organization chooses to publish the certified record.

What happens after submission

1. Your application enters the private GAFAIG verification intake process.

2. GAFAIG reviews scope, organization details, and system context before moving into structured verification.

3. Public visibility does not happen at application. Public registry listing occurs only after review, certification, and publication.

Application readiness

What GAFAIG evaluates

Oversight model

How humans review, intervene, escalate, or control material AI outcomes.

Policies and controls

Governance documents, operational controls, accountability structures, and oversight mechanisms.

Evidence and findings

Artifacts that support oversight claims and findings that can be evaluated through deterministic governance workflows.

Certification decision readiness

Sufficient inputs to support deterministic scoring, review, and a formal private certification outcome.

Public vs private

What stays private and what can become public

Private verification engine
  • Structured intake and case creation
  • Evidence and finding review
  • Reviewer workflow and internal assessment materials
  • Deterministic scoring inputs before publication

  • Canonical public certification surface
  • Signed verification proof
  • Public verification endpoint
  • Badge, widget, SDK, and portable trust signals
What you receive

Certification can become a public governance proof layer

Organizations that complete the GAFAIG verification process receive more than an internal review outcome. If publication is elected, the certified outcome becomes a public certification surface, signed verification proof, portable governance trust surface, and canonical public certification registry presence that external parties can independently validate.

Public certification surface
Optional

Canonical published certification surface if publication is elected.

Signed proof
Ed25519

Independent cryptographic verification.

Teams can verify certification programmatically.

How to begin

Start with the current GAFAIG experience

GAFAIG’s live demo and public governance trust surfaces show the type of outcome the certification process can produce after publication. Start there, then review the framework and trust interfaces before entering the verification workflow.

Demo

Walk through the current live GAFAIG governance trust experience.

Framework

Review the deterministic model behind evidence, scoring, certification, and publication.

Developers

See the verification API, signed proof model, badge, widget, and SDK.

Next step

Begin the GAFAIG certification journey

Start by reviewing the mission, framework, and live governance trust surfaces. Then enter the private verification intake process to begin formal GAFAIG review.
