Readiness Certified™

What It Means to Be Certified

The Readiness Certified™ mark is issued by the Partnership Readiness Standards Council to entities that meet the published threshold on the PRSC Readiness Score™ — and maintain it.

Certification Is Earned. Not Purchased.

The Readiness Certified™ mark is not a membership badge or a sponsorship tier. It is a standards-based designation issued only to entities that have submitted evidence through the Evidence Portal™, received a PRSC Readiness Score™ at or above the published certification threshold, and entered into a written Certification License Agreement with the Council.

Certification is re-evaluated annually. An entity that no longer meets the threshold loses the right to display the mark. The Council monitors usage and enforces the mark.

Who Is Eligible

Certification is designed for every entity type that participates in the partnership market.

  • Teams

    Signals institutional readiness to service partnership commitments at scale.

  • Drivers

    Signals a personal-brand infrastructure a sponsor can measure and rely on.

  • Series & Leagues

    Signals a governed commercial platform partners can activate against.

  • Brands

    Signals a partnership organization equipped to buy, measure, and renew with rigor.

  • Agencies

    Signals an advisory practice operating to a published, independent standard.

  • Investors

    Signals underwriting and portfolio oversight aligned to the market's readiness standard.

The Certification Criteria

The full certification criteria — including the scoring threshold, evidence requirements, and mark usage rules — are published in the PRSC Written Standards Document.
