For Practitioners
How to register
Registration is a short, deliberate process. It confirms that you are eligible, fixes your Practitioner's Mark, and records the undertakings you give in return for the standing the mark carries.
-
Confirm eligibility
Registration is open to an individual who performs AI implementation work and is prepared to stand behind it personally. There is no requirement to hold a particular qualification or to be employed by a member Platform; the requirement is that the work you put forward for Assay is your own, and that you are willing to be named against it.
-
Choose your mark
Select one shape from the closed set of six — shield, rectangle, arch, oval, lozenge, or cushion — and one or two serif initials. The Foundation checks the pairing for legibility and for distinctness from marks already on the Register, and reserves it to you.
-
Give the undertakings
Agree to the standard of work and the conduct rules: that work put forward for Assay is built to be tested, that you will not misrepresent the scope of a Hallmark or claim a certification that has not been granted, and that you will strike the mark only into work you stand behind. The undertakings are set out in full in the Hallmark Regulations.
-
Confirmation
The Foundation confirms the registration, records your mark, and adds you to the regime as a registered Practitioner. From that point your mark may be struck into Engagements put forward for Assay, and appears on the Register against every Engagement that passes.
The undertakings, the conduct rules, and the grounds on which a mark may be suspended or withdrawn are governed by the Hallmark Regulations. Where a registration lapses or is withdrawn, the Engagements already on the Register remain; the record is permanent by design.
