Transparency
A certifier that never fails anyone is publishing its own indictment. This page is where our numbers will live — committed to now, in writing, before we have any numbers to be embarrassed by.
Published continuously
- The registry: every certificate, including suspended and revoked, with status history and grounds class. Suspensions appear within 24 hours. There is no quiet de-listing.
- The methodology: every document we certify against, versioned, with change history.
- The fee schedule: what everyone pays. No bespoke pricing.
Published annually (first report: 2027)
- Applications received, granted, refused — the pass rate.
- Suspensions and revocations, by grounds class.
- Exception statistics by type: broken seals, mass-balance violations, GPS implausibilities, scan anomalies.
- Lab sampling volumes and the full outcome distribution — negative, inconclusive, suspicious, confirmed. Inconclusive results are results; we publish them.
- Appeals filed and their outcomes. Appeals are free and heard independently of whoever made the original decision.
- The annual impartiality review: how the conflict-of-interest rules held up in practice.
Current status — honest version
Certificates issued: 0. The honey pilot runs through India's 2026–27 flow seasons; first certificates expected Q2 2027.
Accreditation: none yet. We will apply for ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation through NABCB — India's accreditation board for certification bodies, an IAF MLA signatory, so accredited certificates carry international recognition. Until granted, every certificate is plainly labeled as issued by a non-accredited body with a public methodology. No certificate issued before accreditation will ever be represented as accredited.
The pilot report — full data, costs, and failures included — will be published here after the pilot concludes (target Q3 2027).
