Why CAWA

A credential for teams putting AI workflows into production.

Proof beyond attendance

CAWA verification confirms that participants can apply the workshop material to practical AI-assisted delivery workflows, not just complete a course.

A shared operating model

Teams leave with common language for prompts, context engineering, specs, evals, telemetry, quality gates, and governance.

Signal for real delivery

The credential is built around the work of designing, evaluating, and governing AI-assisted workflows across the SDLC.
