AI-Augmented Analyst
You demonstrate AI-leveraged workflows together with the verification that makes them safe. You prove the thing employers most want and most struggle to test for: that you can move fast with AI and still own the output.

A credential that points to what you built.
The AI-Augmented Analyst is a portfolio-backed credential earned by shipping real artifacts to a rubric, plus an AI-tracked interview and a live simulation. Proof of capability, not attendance.
Why it matters
The desk no longer pays for recall. It pays for judgment.
Most finance certificates prove you sat in a room and answered a quiz, and that signal is worth less every year. An AlphaForge credential does not say you attended. It points, link by link, to the models and workflows you actually built and defended.
Banks are evaluating candidates on AI proficiency, and most candidates have no clean way to demonstrate it. A portfolio-backed credential is one, and it lets you walk in with the evidence already assembled.

/It signals judgment, not trivia.
The credential attaches to the human-required calls AI cannot make: normalization, synergies, capital-structure nuance, and the deal narrative.
/It differentiates you on the new axis.
Firms screen implicitly for AI-compatible analytical behavior. This lets you demonstrate it on demand.
/It is honest by design.
Earned against a published rubric and backed by a portfolio anyone can inspect. The weight comes from the work, so the weight is real.
/AI cannot earn it for you.
The assessment requires you to defend your assumptions and catch seeded AI errors, the precise things AI cannot fake on your behalf.
What's inside
Earned by building, assessed by AI.
How you earn it
An interactive, AI-tracked online interview, plus a simulation of how fast you can combine LLMs to run a DCF and a comparable-multiples analysis. The assessment seeds the errors AI makes; you earn it by catching them.
The price and the proof
70 EUR. Platform-issued and portfolio-backed, with no external accreditation claim. The portfolio is the proof; the credential is the pointer to it.
Proof and credibility
We state the boundary up front, because honesty is the whole brand. These are platform-issued, portfolio-backed credentials. A frontier model still scores about 64 percent on a finance-agent benchmark and underperforms a strong junior on judgment, which is exactly why a credential anchored to defended, human-graded artifacts says more than a quiz score ever could.

Straight answers
Before you ask.
Is this accredited?
No, and we do not pretend it is. It is an AlphaForge credential backed by a portfolio of real artifacts. Its value is the work you can show.
Will employers care?
Employers care about demonstrable capability, and this is demonstrable in the most literal sense: it links to the models you built and the AI errors you caught.
Can students earn one?
Students build toward it through the free tracks, accumulating the same artifacts. The assessment itself sits in the professional tier, so the path is open early.
Can I cheat it with AI?
No. The assessment requires you to defend assumptions and catch seeded AI errors. If you lean on the tool to pass, the tool's own failure modes sink you. By design.
