| description | Create role-based readiness certifications with clear scoring, evaluation prompts, and calibration rules. Use when the user asks to design pass/fail standards, assessor guides, or repeatable certification workflows for sales or customer-facing roles.

Certification Program Builder
Design certification that checks real job readiness, not course completion.
Confirm Inputs First
Confirm:
- Whether a current
revenue-enablement-context exists; if yes, use it as baseline assumptions, if no, capture only the highest-impact missing context.
- Role and capabilities to certify
- Certification purpose and stakes
- Pass/fail threshold and retake policy
- Assessor group and available evidence sources
- Time available for evaluation
If important items are missing, ask the minimum needed to define fair scoring.
Read The Right Reference
Read references/certification-scoring-rules.md before writing the rubric.
Default Workflow
- Define the skills being certified, not the training content being completed.
- Build score bands with clear behavior examples.
- Define what proof is needed to pass.
- Write evaluation prompts and practical scenarios.
- Set pass/fail rules, retake rules, and recertification timing.
- Add assessor calibration and bias checks.
- Produce the certification pack and scoring guide.
Tool Notes
- Keep certification workflow tool-agnostic.
- If requested, map rubric and score capture to the user's existing docs or spreadsheet stack.
Output Contract
Default output includes:
- Certification blueprint
- Scoring rubric with behavior anchors
- Evaluation prompt and scenario set
- Pass/fail and retake rules
- Recertification cadence and scope rules
- Assessor calibration plan
Quality Bar
- Rubric measures observable behavior, not vague confidence.
- Two assessors should produce similar scores on the same evidence.
- Pass criteria are defensible for manager and leadership review.
- Certification process includes anti-bias safeguards and documented recertification logic.
- Certification is practical to run repeatedly.
