Capability Governance

The Agent Passport. Capability determines access. Evidence determines scale.

The Agent Passport makes AI capability visible, structured, and governed. It recognises what people can do with AI and controls what they are permitted to do with it.

The Agent Passport is a three-level model that governs who may build and operate AI inside your organisation, based on demonstrated capability, not job title and not enthusiasm. Every employee can build. Every shared agent must be registered and impact-assessed. The passport recognises proven capability with faster governance and broader build rights.

Agent Passport levels ascending from L1 AI Aware to L2 AI Practitioner to L3 AI Builder

L1 · AI Aware

Baseline for all staff. Around one hour. Complete AI awareness training and acknowledge the AI policy. Enables building and sharing within registration requirements. Every shared agent must be registered.

L2 · AI Practitioner

Recognised active builders. Weeks, self-directed. Completed builder training, demonstrated active usage, and one live registered agent with captured value. Enables lighter, faster governance review and a champions-network role.

L3 · AI Builder

AI Council endorsed. Months, evidence-based. Advanced training, a complex agent live and fully governed, quantified impact, and a review by the AI Council. Enables full builder rights including complex and autonomous agents.

Why It Matters

The question regulators now ask.

Blanket restriction kills adoption. Uncontrolled building creates risk. The Agent Passport resolves the tension by tying access to evidenced capability, and gives leadership a defensible, auditable answer to the question regulators now ask: who is permitted to build AI here, and how do you know? No equivalent standard exists in the market.
