Partner Standards
What 'vetted' means in the Tribe AccredAI™ partner directory. We keep this short and honest: institutions deserve to know exactly what a listing represents — and what it doesn't.
How we vet every partner
Every consultant in the directory has cleared the same five-step intake.
Verified identity & LinkedIn
Every applicant submits a verified professional identity and an active LinkedIn profile we can cross-check before listing.
Two institutional references
Two references from institutions the consultant has worked with — name, role, and institutional email on file. We reach out before approval.
At least one named accreditation cycle
Applicants document at least one prior accreditation engagement: institution, accreditor, year, role, and outcome.
Code of conduct & conflict-of-interest
Signed attestations covering confidentiality, FERPA-aligned handling of student records, and disclosure of any accreditor or vendor relationships.
Human review before listing
A member of the Tribe AccredAI™ team personally reviews and approves every partner before they appear in the directory. No automated approvals.
The two tiers, plainly
We deliberately keep this simple. No paid placements, no pay-to-rank.
