Credentials wall
What you can verify before you book
Three unfakeable differentiators. Every claim names a verifiable artefact. We build trust in writing — before the call, not during it.
Pillar 1
15-year operational heritage
Adaptation IO has been on the Australian Business Register since 2009. Combined with eight years of pre-GPT applied ML inside the founder's record, an AU competitor would need to wait until 2041 to claim equivalent elapsed time in this category.
Proof artefacts
- →ABR-verifiable trading history since 2009
- →ASIC company records on the ABN lookup
- →Eight years applied ML before GPT-3 shipped
Pillar 2
A/A/A x 4D fluency, end-to-end
Anthropic's AI Fluency framework — Automation, Augmentation, Agency, plus the four practitioner skills — is the spine of our website, our pricing, our methodology, and our team certifications. The framework belongs to Anthropic; we use it with full attribution. We don't rebadge it.
Proof artefacts
- →11 of 11 staff Anthropic Academy C1 certified
- →Paul Anthropic Academy C2 certified
- →Four of four CPN courses scored 100%
- →Public framework attribution to Joseph Feller and Rick Dakan (CC BY-NC-SA)
Pillar 3
Honesty-as-positioning
Mid-credential dating. Six named-vertical landing pages with diligence PDFs. A 40-agent fleet running our own business. We surveyed ten AU competitors — zero match this trust architecture. We tell you what's confirmed, what's pending, and what's deliberately deferred.
Proof artefacts
- →Six AU vertical PDFs at /api/pdf-download
- →40-agent fleet visible in Build Hour
- →Public 8-rung pricing ladder, no hidden tiers
- →Public statement on Anthropic Partner status (mid-confirmation, not yet claimed)
Verifiable artefacts
What you can check yourself
Every claim above is grounded in something you can independently verify. No badges-by-aspiration. No private references that conveniently don’t reply.
Live agent fleet
40 agents in production across 8 internal teams
We run the same fleet we sell. Build Hour (fortnightly, Wednesdays 12:00 AEST) shows agents in flight on real work.
AI Fluency wiki
Public methodology library
Our internal A/A/A x 4D wiki is published as the framework lens we apply to every engagement — so prospects can read it before they book.
Vertical diligence
Six AU industry PDFs
One-page diligence brief per vertical — workflow shape, agent pipeline, AU compliance footprint, illustrative ROI maths.
ASIC + ABR
Adaptation IO since 2009
Verifiable on ABR Lookup. The trading entity predates the AI consultancy category by more than a decade.
Embargoed, not omitted
CPN status + Anthropic Partner status
We surface what's pending. We don't claim Anthropic Partner status until written confirmation. We don't claim CPN partner badging until embargo lifts.
What we deliberately don’t claim
Anthropic Partner status. We are mid-confirmation. Until written confirmation lands, the public site says “Claude-native” only. No badge, no logo, no implied affiliation.
Published AU case studies. We don’t have one yet. Our 40-agent internal fleet is the strongest demonstration we can show — you can watch it work in Build Hour. If a published case study is non-negotiable for your buying process, take a Big-4 quote; we won’t waste your time.
Industry percentage claims we didn’t source ourselves. No fabricated “90% faster” numbers. The proof points on this site are first-party — our own fleet, our own staff, our own verifiable record.
Verified the credentials. Now scope a workflow.
30-minute scope-out call. Free. We map one of your real workflows against A/A/A x 4D and tell you what a build would look like.
