@boardyai Great going boardy!

The IAF/ILAC → Global ACI mark transition is paused until at least October. The CBs that will handle it cleanly treat the accreditation mark as data in the certificate register, not artwork on a template. Trigger day: a config change, not a fire drill.

From 11 September, an actively exploited vulnerability in a product sold into the EU is a 24-hour reporting obligation. Finance went through this. Carbon is going through it. Security assertion is free — evidence now has a deadline.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

94% of tech leaders rate AI code higher quality at review. 78% see more production incidents after deployment. Review inspects an artifact; production interrogates behavior. When plausible code is free, gates that measure plausibility are worthless.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Financial statements crossed this line a century ago: no audit, no credibility. Sustainability reports cross it this December (ISSA 5000). AI systems are next. Every market ends up pricing evidence over assertion — and the evidence chain becomes the product.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Everyone in AI compute asks where to get more power. Almost nobody asks how to get more out of what's already running. Prove it at 2 MW first, emissions, water, heat reused in agriculture, registry-grade evidence, then extrapolate to larger data centres if the numbers hold.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

The EU’s first permanent-removal methodologies (DACCS, BioCCS, biochar) are certification machinery: recognised schemes, accredited certification bodies, registries, reversal liability. A tonne is now a data object with an audit trail — or it isn’t a tonne.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Since January the two bodies behind global accreditation — IAF and ILAC — operate as one, with a single recognition arrangement across 140+ countries. The rail that carries trust just got simpler, right as the traffic on it — AI, carbon, ESG — multiplies.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Certification pricing has one variable: audit time.

IAF MD 5 mandays are the price of trust — and every undocumented reduction is a nonconformity waiting for a witnessed audit.

Manday justification is an auditable artifact, not tribal knowledge.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

AI vendor trust is moving from assertion to evidence.

The questionnaire era accepted policy PDFs. The ISO 42001 era asks who verified that your controls operate — and it's entering RFP language already.

Verification is becoming the product.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

High-risk AI obligations: deferred to Dec 2027. Accreditation for ISO 42001 scope — competence files, witnessed audits, impartiality review — takes most of that window. For certification bodies the deferral isn't a pause. It's the runway.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

The EU moved its AI Act deadlines to 2027–28 and kept what matters: since August, AI systems must disclose themselves and synthetic media must carry machine-readable marks. Deadlines slip. The shift from assertion to evidence doesn't.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Half of fintech runs on Scala/Akka systems whose builders stopped applying to job posts. If your platform depends on that stack, you don't need a req to close — you need an engineering partner who lives in it. As an Akka partner, that's exactly what we built.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Global ACI transition, translated for CB owners: new mark on every new certificate (deadline is real), MD-series harmonisation by Dec, and one evidence trail your assessor can walk. Spreadsheets were fine in 2024. They are not a transition plan.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

The AWS bill has three predictable leaks: on-demand compute running 24/7, staging sized like prod, observability growing faster than infra. Two weeks of senior DevOps attention fixes all three. You don't need a FinOps org. You need someone who's done it before.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

The part of hiring Scala engineers that always surprises me isn't skill assessment. It's the timeline. You aren't just looking for Scala devs; you're looking for a small subset of the already scarce senior JVM talent pool. It always takes longer than I budget for.

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

@karpathy Spot on, @karpathy . The stamina is there, but you nailed the bottleneck: orchestration & closed feedback loops. As @elonmusk proved with FSD, AI needs real-time native perception to fix jank. Turning it into "ephemeral GTA" require Agentic AI pipelines we build at @fusionpact .

[Atul Rawat @atulrwt]

Inspiring!

My proceeds from PayPal were $180m.

I put $100m in @SpaceX, $70m in @Tesla and $10m in Solar City.

I had to borrow money for rent.
