Prove your tool
is Agent Ready
Zaira Certified is a third-party evaluation of your tool's agent-readiness, measured against the Zaira Standard. Your customers, your agents, and your leadership can verify the result.
Three kinds of teams get certified
Certification serves different teams differently. Where you fit shapes what you get from it.
Teams mapping the path
You want to know exactly where you stand. A gap analysis gives you the full scorecard: prioritized gaps, quantified strengths, and a clear path to certification.
Teams who need to prove it
Your board, your CEO, your investors want evidence you're building for AI. A third-party scorecard carries weight a slide deck never will.
Teams who've done the work
You've built agent-first from the start. You want the public designation and a signal the ecosystem recognizes. You want the badge because you earned it.
A rigorous, independent evaluation
The Zaira Standard defines what agent-readiness looks like. The evaluation is what verifies it. Every applicable criterion is scored against published gradients. Every score is backed by evidence. Every result is reproducible, meaning another evaluator running the same methodology against your tool produces the same output.
The evaluation tests your tool directly. If your docs describe machine-readable error codes, we parse them. If your API supports idempotency, we send duplicate requests and verify the behavior. If your tool offers non-interactive auth, we authenticate without a browser.
Self-assess
The Standard is public. Every criterion, every scoring gradient is documented. You can see where you stand before you apply.
Request evaluation
Submit your tool for formal evaluation. You'll provide documentation access and, if applicable, sandbox credentials.
Full assessment
Automated evaluation plus rubric review against every applicable module. The same methodology, every tool.
Scorecard and next steps
Detailed per-criterion results, per-module breakdowns, and evidence for every score. If you meet the threshold, you earn the designation. If you don't, the scorecard becomes a prioritized roadmap to get there.
What you actually get
The Zaira Certified designation is evidence your customers, AI agents, and your leadership can verify. When you pass, you gain four things that compound.
Evidence your customers can verify
An independent organization evaluated your tool against published criteria and said yes. Your customers, AI agents, and your prospects don't have to take your word for it.
You know, not think, that you're ready
Your gaps are documented. Your strengths are quantified. No more guessing whether agents can actually use your tool. You have the evidence.
The evidence when leadership asks
When your board or CEO asks whether you're building for AI, you have a third-party scorecard with hard evidence they can verify.
A signal the ecosystem recognizes
Agents, developers, and platforms learn which tools meet the bar. Certification is a machine-readable signal of measurably different quality the ecosystem can route on.
Even if you don't pass the threshold, the scorecard is yours. Prioritized gaps, documented requirements, and a clear path forward. For teams mapping their path to certification, the evaluation itself is the most valuable artifact.
And a badge to display it
The visible artifact. On your README, your docs, your marketing pages. One of two designations.
Certification comes at one of two designations (Agent Ready or Agent Native) depending on your tool's complexity and score. Thresholds and requirements are defined in the Standard.
We're looking for launch partners
Zaira Certified isn't generally available yet. We're evaluating a small cohort of launch partners first, refining the process and the Standard, and publishing the first wave of certified tools when v1.0 ships.
Pricing for general availability will be set after we've worked with our first partners.
What launch partners get
- +Free evaluation against the full Zaira Standard v0.9.
- +Direct influence on the Standard and evaluation process before v1.0 is published.
- +Priority placement in the first wave of publicly certified tools.
- +Case study if you're interested. Your team's story, your call.
To qualify
- >Your tool activates Base plus at least 2 additional modules. Tools with more complexity are prioritized.
- >Your tool has 10,000+ active users, 10,000+ monthly downloads, or equivalent meaningful production usage. Real deployments, not pre-launch.
- >Your tool is actively maintained. Recent releases, responsive issue tracking, production-grade.
Apply to be a launch partner
We'll review and reach out to tools that look like a strong fit for the program.
If your tool doesn't meet the launch partner qualifications yet, you can still express interest in general certification and we'll notify you when applications open.
