Methodology and independence
The signal is only as strong as the institution behind it.
Alpha separates evidence, analytical judgment, rating governance, and delivery. The result is an opinion that can be examined, challenged, updated, and used with clear limits.
- Published framework
- Alpha AIGR Methodology v2.4
- Opinion scale

- Review model
- Human-approved, continuously monitored
01Public methodology
The Alpha AIGR Methodology v2.4 states the analytical basis, rating scale, evidence expectations, and limits of opinion.
02Governed evidence
Evidence is classified by source quality and recency, with a visible boundary between public and assessed information.
03Human judgment
Customer-visible ratings require documented human approval. Analytical judgment is never presented as an automated fact.
04Active surveillance
Material disclosures, incidents, control changes, and observed outcomes can trigger review outside a fixed calendar.
05Standards mapping
The analytical framework maps governance findings to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and applicable regulatory obligations.
06Clear limits
Ratings are independent opinions, not guarantees, certifications of compliance, or investment advice.
