Shape the Future of
AI-Native Development.
We're selecting 25 consultants to become the first CRAFT Method Founding Certified Partners. You'll co-build the AI-native development method, deliver it to real engineering organisations, and earn a permanent credential that future Certified Partners will never have.
Free CRAFT Method access. 100% of client revenue — forever. The "Founding" badge never expires.
AI-native development is where agile was
in 2002
Wide open. No dominant method. Engineering organisations are adopting AI tools — buying licenses, running pilots, hoping for magic — with zero structured framework for how developers should actually work with AI. ~90% of engineering teams use AI tools, but only 32% have formal AI governance (Cortex 2026).
No CTO would make a hiring decision without data. But they're making AI adoption decisions without any way to measure their engineering org's AI readiness.
The CTO thinks context engineering is "sorted." The senior dev scores it 25/100. That's not a disagreement — that's two different realities inside the same company.
The question isn't whether AI-native development needs a method — it's whether you'll be one of the 25 Founding Certified Partners who shaped it, or one of the thousands who adopt it later.
Built for Practitioners Who Already Deliver
Experienced consultants, coaches, and tech leaders who already help engineering teams — and want a structured AI-native development method to multiply their impact.
You advise CTOs and engineering leaders on development practices. AI is reshaping how code gets written — and you need a framework to guide the transition.
You've led agile transformations, DevOps adoptions, or engineering culture change. AI-native development is the next evolution of your practice.
You build the systems that enable developer velocity. AI tools are changing what "developer experience" means — and you can lead that shift.
You implement AI coding tools but lack a holistic method that addresses the human and process side. CRAFT Method bridges that gap.
You build learning programs for engineering teams. AI fluency is the most urgent skill gap — and you're the expert on closing it.
You lead engineering strategy for multiple companies. A certified method gives you a repeatable framework across every engagement.
An Advantage That Never Expires
Founding Certified Partners get a deal that will never be offered again. Future Certified Partners will pay licensing fees and revenue share.
No license fees. No revenue share. No annual subscription. You keep 100% of every euro you earn from clients, forever.
Future partners will be Certified Partners. Only you carry the "Founding" distinction — permanently. First movers in the AI-native development method.
A proprietary 125-question diagnostic that measures AI-native development maturity across 5 practices. Run the assessment, surface the gaps, close the engagement.
25 partners with complementary expertise and geographic reach. Cross-refer clients, share learnings, and grow together as a trusted network.
Your real-world insights, case studies, and practice expertise will shape the definitive reference on AI-native development. Your name, your work, published.
Get a dedicated episode featuring your expertise — and become the recurring host for your practice. Promoted with paid ads for visibility and authority.
Five Practices. One Complete Method.
Every Founding Certified Partner is trained across all five practices. You deliver the complete CRAFT Method — not a fragment of it.
Curate the context AI agents consume. Codebase intelligence, AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md standards, context governance, and developer-tool onboarding.
Refine specs before AI generates code. Spec completeness, predicate-form acceptance criteria, AI-augmented edge cases, and requirements traceability.
Architect within governed patterns. Pattern libraries, ADRs, multi-agent code review, agentic CI/CD, and architecture evolution.
Fortify against AI-introduced risk. SAST/DAST/SCA at AI velocity, AIBOMs, slopsquat defense, and ISO 42001 / EU AI Act compliance automation.
Test before AI ships. AI test generation, mutation testing, blocking quality gates, DORA-aligned deployment quality, and feedback loops.
AI-native development is already a niche. Each Founding Certified Partner masters the full framework — and brings their unique industry experience, regional knowledge, and delivery style to every engagement.
How It Works in Practice
A repeatable framework that turns assessments into workshops, workshops into transformations, and clients into advocates.
Run the CRAFT Assessment with your client. A 125-question diagnostic that reveals their AI-native maturity across all 5 practices — with data, not guesswork.
Deliver a 2-day CRAFT workshop. Deep dive into the results, map the gaps, and build an improvement roadmap together with the client.
During the workshop, identify which practices need work first. Build a prioritised improvement roadmap across all 5 practices with clear milestones.
Deliver the full CRAFT transformation — embedded pair programming, coaching, and mentoring until the method is how they naturally work.
More Certified Partners = more assessments = more workshops = more cross-referrals = more revenue for everyone in the network.
What Founding Certified Partners Get
Everything you need to deliver AI-native development engagements — method, tools, content, credibility, and community.
Future partners will be Certified Partners. Only you will carry the "Founding" badge — permanently. First movers in a new discipline.
Full CRAFT framework, program materials, facilitation guides, and templates for your chosen practice. No license fees, ever.
A permanent content asset tied to your personal brand. Your expertise, your story, promoted to the CRAFT community.
Proprietary 125-question diagnostic that measures AI-native development maturity across 5 practices. Your lead generation weapon.
25 partners with complementary expertise. A global network of trusted practitioners who cross-refer clients — and grow together.
Zero revenue share, permanently. You keep everything you earn from client engagements. Future Certified Partners will pay — Founding Certified Partners never do.
After 12 months, Founding Certified Partners automatically advance to Senior Certified Partner — skipping the standard path entirely.
Monthly partner calls, private community, quarterly summits. 24 fellow Founding Certified Partners navigating the same AI-native transformation journey.

Your First-Year Economics
Your only cost is time. And that time is spent delivering paid work to your own clients.
You're Not Joining a Program.
You're Building a Movement.
CRAFT is not a certification factory. It's a global network of Certified Partners — AI-native development practitioners who share method, language, and commitment to helping engineering organisations work with AI effectively.
The Data Moat
Every CRAFT Assessment adds proprietary data points. Better benchmarks mean more valuable assessments. More valuable assessments attract more partners. The moat deepens every day.
"Your client scores 35 on Context vs. industry median of 52" — this insight is only possible with scale.
The Referral Engine
Partner in London finishes an engagement → refers a Berlin client to a founding partner nearby. 25 partners across geographies and industries create organic cross-referral.
No referral commissions. Social norms, not market norms. Partners refer because they trust the network.
The Franchise Model
Like EOS Worldwide — which scaled from founder to 200+ implementers serving 200,000+ organizations — CRAFT is a transferable system. Documented, standardized, teachable, measurable.
McKinsey's strength is the individual consultant. CRAFT's strength is the transferable system.
The Revenue Opportunity
A single client journey — assessment, 2-day workshop, practice transformation, quarterly re-assessment — generates recurring revenue year after year.
The CRAFT Assessment is the door opener. The workshop is the accelerator. The transformation engagement is where the real value is created.
Who Is Behind CRAFT Method
20 years helping Fortune 500 companies transform — SAP, Nordea, Hilti, Metro. Faculty at Porto Business School. 5 published books, 3 of them Amazon bestsellers.
He built a complete software platform — 11 integrated products, hundreds of thousands of lines of code — with AI as his only team member. That experience crystallised what works and what doesn't when developers work with AI at scale.
The patterns were clear: organisations that standardise context, requirements, architecture, flow, and testing for AI get 10x results. Those that don't get chaos. That became CRAFT Method.
"I built 11 products with AI as my only engineer. The method that emerged isn't theory — it's what actually works when you ship production code with AI every single day."
"Every engineering consultant, agile coach, and CTO advisor is experiencing the same shift. The difference is whether you face it alone or alongside 24 other practitioners building the method together."
There will be no second Founding Certified Partner cohort.
When the 25 spots are filled, this invitation closes permanently.
