    02 — What it is

    A credential, not a course.

    01

    Not a course. An examination.

    Recall is cheap. Judgment is rare. The AI Delivery Professional designation tests the second.

    02

    Not the builder. Not the governor. The person accountable for delivery.

    Engineers ship code. Risk teams hold the line. AI Delivery Professionals are accountable for outcomes.

    03

    Judgment under real conditions — not recall.

    Scenario item sets that mirror the calls an AI Delivery Professional has to make on a Tuesday.

    What an AI Delivery Professional is not.

    Why become an AIDP holder.

    01

    Prove the judgment that never shows on a CV.

    A post-nominal that signals delivery, not attendance.

    03

    Join the founding cohort — the reference standard others are measured against.

    Earned by examination. It can't be bought or completed.

    04 — Try one question

    This is what the AIDP exam feels like.

    Sample item · scenario-based judgment

    A health insurer's claims-triage model is 91% accurate. Six months in, only 6% of claims are routed through it and cycle times have not moved. The recommendation lives in a separate dashboard; adjudicators are penalised for wrong approvals, not for slowness.

    What is the highest-leverage first action?

    05 — The founding cohort

    Sit once. In person.

    08 October 2026 at Cypher, India. The founding cohort is the permanent reference cohort. There is no second first.
