Standards

Built on open global standards.

Results belong to the person, not the platform. AHCOS issues on open standards so a credential is portable and interoperable from day one.

§ 01 / Why open

Portability is the point.

A capability record is only useful if it travels. If it is locked inside one platform, it is just another silo.

AHCOS issues on open standards so the person who earned a credential owns it and can present it anywhere.

§ 02 / The standards

Two specifications, one portable record.

Standard

W3C Verifiable Credentials

A global standard for tamper-evident, cryptographically signed digital claims. AHCOS issues capability estimates as verifiable credentials the holder controls.

Compatibility

Open Badges 3.0

Aligned with the open credentialing ecosystem, so AHCOS credentials are recognized and presentable across compliant systems.

§ 03 / Interoperability

No lock-in, by design.

Because AHCOS speaks open standards, its credentials interoperate with the wider ecosystem of issuers, wallets, and verifiers. Institutions adopt the measurement without adopting a cage; people keep their record even if they move on.
