Center for AI Readiness in Asia Pacific

The rubric is public.
The judgment is certified.

Measured in the open.

AIR APAC publishes the judgment standard, measures AI readiness from public signals and trains the people who decide. Every result names its basis and what it does not claim.

Every quarter, published by name

The Q2 2026 edition screened 5,820 Asia Pacific organisations against public evidence and published 1,000 by name. It names. It does not rank.

An organisation's Index position is not a function of its employees' certifications, and a certification confers no Index effect. The two models share no structure and are not convertible. How AIR APAC stays independent.

The Standard

AIRS-J/1 v2.0

The public standard for managerial judgment in AI-enabled work. Nine dimensions in four domains, Structure, Test, Engage and Perform, with the anchors, thresholds and decision rules open to read. Certification is open, from a separate assessment on StepSim, its official instrument. Practice never awards it.

Built by Exeter Labs

Read the Standard

One method, six ways in.

The public standard, certification against it, the quarterly Pulse, the index method, readiness for places, and the writing that follows.

Readiness for places

Readiness for places, on the same evidence

AIR APAC reads readiness for places as well as for firms, from the same public signals and against the same standard. Every result names its basis and what it does not claim.

Certification

Register for an AIRS-J/1 sitting

AIRS-J/1 certification is open. Register now for an assessment sitting. A certifying result comes from a separate assessment on StepSim, its official instrument, and never from practice. Credentials are valid for two years and listed in a public register.

Accountability

The public register

Credentials are valid for two years. Every certifying result is listed, with the date it was awarded and the assessment it came from. No credential has been issued yet; the first sitting is scheduled when the build can meet it.
