What is the scope of the Account Manager role?

The Account Manager role is focused on interpretation, diagnosis, and communication across the AI Comprehension stages (1–5). Certified Account Managers are responsible for interpreting AI Visibility Index reports, diagnosing constraints within Stages 1–5, communicating findings to clients and stakeholders, and providing evidence-based recommendations within scope. Account Managers work at the reporting and interpretation layer, not the architecture level. System design and structural resolution are handled by Architects. This credential does not certify architectural capability — it certifies analytical mastery demonstrated through interpretation and reporting.

What is the pathway from Account Manager to Architect?

The Account Manager certification (Tier 2) provides a foundation for advancement to Certified AI Visibility Architect (Tier 3) for those seeking to work across the full 11-stage lifecycle. Account Managers master Stages 1–5 (AI Comprehension) while Architects work across all 11 stages including Trust Establishment (Stages 6–7) and Human Visibility (Stages 8–11). The structured transition path allows professionals to build demonstrated competence at the interpretation layer before advancing to architectural responsibility for system design and structural resolution.

Q: What does the Certified AI Visibility Account Manager credential represent?

The Certified AI Visibility Account Manager represents the professional mid-tier (Tier 2) certification within the AI Visibility Architecture framework. It validates analytical competence across the five AI Comprehension stages (Stages 1–5) through demonstrated interpretation capability and reporting proficiency. Unlike course completion certificates that validate learning, professional certification validates competence — the ability to interpret AI visibility reports, diagnose comprehension-layer constraints, and communicate findings to inform client decisions. This certification represents the analytical and reporting tier of the discipline.

Q: How does professional certification differ from course completion?

Course completion certificates validate learning — that someone has absorbed material and passed assessments. Professional certification validates competence — demonstrated ability to perform the work. The Certified AI Visibility Account Manager credential is awarded only through demonstrated interpretation capability, not attendance or coursework alone. Professionals must prove they can accurately interpret visibility data, diagnose constraints within their certified scope, communicate findings clearly to inform client decisions, and maintain ethical standards and scope boundaries.
