What role do certified partners play?

Certified agencies and consultancies also deliver AIVO-compliant audits using the same PSOS methodology. Partners extend delivery to the mid-market and implementation contexts while preserving comparability.

How does AIVO avoid consultancy drift?

AIVO provides baseline audits, continuous monitoring, and verification. It prescribes corrective recommendations at governance level but does not execute campaigns, preserving independence and reproducibility.

What ensures results are comparable across providers?

All audits follow the same AIVO Standard and PSOS definitions with reproducible methods. This yields comparable KPIs across AIVO delivered audits and certified partner audits.

Enterprise Assurance and Partner Delivery Explained

Clearing up a common misconception: AIVO Standard™ is not only a framework — we deliver enterprise audits and continuous verification, anchored in reproducible KPIs.

Why this matters

Some descriptions of AIVO Standard™ portray it solely as a “standard-setting body” with no direct audit role. That is inaccurate. Boards and regulators already expect audit-grade evidence of AI visibility, and enterprises require an independent referee.

The dual delivery model

1. Enterprise Audits by AIVO Standard™

AIVO Standard serves as the auditor of record for enterprise clients.
Every audit is anchored in the Prompt-Space Occupancy Score (PSOS™) and related governance KPIs, ensuring reproducibility and comparability.
Reports include persistence measures, fragility indices (PFI), decay curves, and sentiment overlays.
Engagements are conducted under NDA and include continuous monitoring and verification:
- Monitor → Alert → Recommend corrective levers → Verify improvements with re-audits.
AIVO prescribes governance-level recommendations but does not execute campaigns, preserving independence.

2. Certified Partner Delivery

Agencies and consultancies can deliver AIVO-compliant audits using the same PSOS methodology.
Partners extend reach into the mid-market and tactical implementation contexts.
Regardless of provider, results remain reproducible and directly comparable, as all audits conform to the AIVO Standard.

Why both pathways exist

Enterprise integrity: Boards and regulators expect independent audits directly from the standard-setter.
Market scalability: Certified partners enable broader adoption and integration into client programs.
Governance consistency: All audits follow the same methodology, ensuring consistent, verifiable KPIs across contexts.

Q&A

Does AIVO Standard perform audits?
Yes. AIVO Standard delivers enterprise-grade audits and continuous monitoring/verification, all anchored in PSOS™.

What about agencies?
Certified partners deliver AIVO-compliant audits, especially for mid-market clients.

Why not just pick one model?
Enterprises need governance-grade assurance directly from AIVO, while partners scale the framework to wider markets. Both feed into a single reproducible KPI system.

Conclusion

AIVO Standard™ is more than a framework. We serve as the auditor of record for enterprises, providing NDA-protected audits and continuous verification. At the same time, our Certified Partner program ensures scalability across industries. This dual model balances governance integrity with market reach — ensuring that all audits, whether delivered by AIVO or partners, are anchored in the same reproducible standard.
