Three tracks — delivery, technology and ISV — with accreditation that involves assessed work rather than a slide deck.
The failure modes in this work are not obvious to teams whose experience is in conventional systems integration. Survivorship rules that look reasonable and are wrong. A quarantine lane that becomes a landfill. An approval queue that turns into a rubber stamp in ten weeks. An evaluation suite that has never failed anything.
None of those are visible in a demo, and all of them surface in month nine.
So accreditation involves assessed work on a reference estate rather than a certification exam, it is time-limited, and it is renewed against the current platform. Partners tell us this is more demanding than the equivalent programmes they hold. That is deliberate.
Systems integrators and consultancies
Design and deliver BasinWright estates for customers, with accreditation at architect and engineer levels covering the platform, the governed data layer and the operating model.
Data, security, observability and industry software
Products that join the estate. We co-engineer the connector, publish a joint reference architecture, and test it against each platform release.
Models, agents and extensions
Publish to the Marketplace with commercial terms, data handling position and evaluation results attached to the listing in a standard form.
The programme is open and the cohorts are small. We are not going to quote a partner count, because the honest one is low and a low number stated plainly is worth more to you than a padded one.
What that means practically: the first partners get disproportionate access. Joint delivery on early engagements is not a perk we are advertising, it is how we intend to work while the accreditation material is still being proven against real projects. Expect us to be in the room.
Partner engineers complete assessed work on a reference estate: entity resolution with survivorship rules, an evaluation suite that gates promotion, agent tool design with scoped permissions, and an incident exercise. It is graded by our delivery organisation, and it is possible to not pass.
Typically six to ten weeks per engineer alongside normal work, and cohorts run quarterly. Architect-level accreditation requires prior engineer-level accreditation and a delivered engagement.
Yes. Certification is valid for eighteen months and renewed against the current platform. Renewal is shorter than initial accreditation and focuses on what has changed.
Delivery partners can transact platform capacity on behalf of customers. The ownership position does not change: the customer owns the artefacts, not the partner and not us.
Joint delivery. A BasinWright architect works on the engagement alongside the partner team, with a defined handover point. We would rather do that than read about it later.
We check the provenance of any model weights, licence compatibility, the data handling claims, and run a baseline evaluation on our own harness. Listings that make claims we cannot substantiate are not published.
Tell us which track fits, where you operate, and what you have delivered. Accreditation cohorts run quarterly.
