Every use of the standard flows through one of three agreements — so quality, trust, and the meaning of an AQ score stay intact.
Product companies and platforms that embed AutonowmyQ inside their own product — an assessment tool, a transformation suite, an advisory platform.
The right to implement the AutonowmyQ architecture and licensed instrument content inside the named product; access to Closed-Tier content needed for the implementation; nominative use of the marks in the product ("Powered by AutonowmyQ™").
The framework remains Autonowmy's — the licence covers use, not ownership or modification of the model; scoring must implement the published AQ Coordinate and AQ formula without alteration (comparability is the standard's value); Closed-Tier confidentiality; brand usage per the trademark rules.
An ongoing Framework Licence Fee — a revenue-linked fee on the product's licence sales, running for the lifetime of the product while AutonowmyQ is used. The fee funds the framework's own lifecycle: versioned updates, new capability content, and calibration improvements flow to licensees while the licence is in good standing.
Consulting firms, advisory practices, and independent professionals who want to run AutonowmyQ assessments for their clients.
Accreditation to conduct AutonowmyQ assessments using the official instrument; access to assessor materials and the assessment platform; listing in the public AQ assessor registry; use of the mark "AQ Accredited Assessor".
Assessors are trained and examined before accreditation, and re-qualified on a fixed cadence; assessments must follow the official methodology — three evidence planes, multi-layer capture, unmodified scoring; quality is audited (sample reviews of delivered assessments); Closed-Tier confidentiality; accreditation is personal to the firm/individual and non-transferable.
An accreditation fee (training + examination) and an annual programme fee; per-assessment platform fees at partner rates. Accreditation may be suspended for quality or confidentiality breaches — the registry shows current status.
Organisations that want their AQ standing recognised — and the market that needs to trust the claim.
A formal, point-in-time certification of the organisation's live Coordinate, issued only by Autonowmy or an accredited certification partner; the right to display the AQ Certified badge — level chip, standing, and a live verification link to the current coordinate.
Certification attests the platform-scored coordinate at the certification date; the badge remains valid only while the underlying score is maintained — regression shows, because every badge resolves to the live record; misuse of the badge, or display without current standing, is trademark infringement and ends the certification.
Certification fee per assessment event; renewal on a fixed cycle or on level/standing change; partner-issued certifications share fees under the accreditation agreement.
One owner, three doors, one meaning: wherever an AQ score appears, it was produced the same way — that consistency is the product.
Framework, assessment, or certification — start with a conversation.
