Public technical standard

Make claims specific, inspectable and improvable.

The ANCHOR Access Standard is the shared rulebook behind the Index, sensory kits, quiet hours, organization improvement, training and verification.

READ THIS PAGE

Start here. Read straight down.

Use this page to understand the rules that keep the Access Network credible.

Important information is visible on the page. Nothing essential is hidden in accordions or pop-ups.

THE SIMPLE PATH
  1. Keep facts, observations, reports, review, and verification distinct.
  2. Keep public access and workplace access as separate tracks.
  3. Never treat certification as a replacement for law or individualized accommodation.

Core requirements

What the system must preserve.

This is a proposed ANCHOR operating standard. It does not replace the ADA, building code, employment law, healthcare regulation or individualized accommodation duties.

Verification

Five statuses; no permanent green checkmark.

1

PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED

An official source currently publishes the claim.

2

ORGANIZATION REPORTED

An authorized representative submitted it.

3

COMMUNITY OBSERVED

A dated observation is published as observation—not universal fact.

4

ANCHOR REVIEWED

Evidence or conditions were reviewed against the protocol.

5

ANCHOR VERIFIED

A specific requirement was directly checked and remains within its review period.

Certification architecture

Public access and workplace access stay separate.
