Aiden Certified.AI skills, proven on real work.
Aiden is the AI program every Built professional completes before day one. They learn to use AI on the exact work they’ll do for you, and they don’t start until they’ve proven it. That’s how Built teams deliver 30–80% more output than a U.S. hire.

Everyone has AI tools.
Few get results from them.
Giving a team AI tools doesn’t make it faster. Knowing which work to hand to AI, how to check the output and what data must never leave your systems does. Aiden teaches exactly that, and it’s built on what [up]start.13 has learned delivering AI for enterprise clients.
Drafts, tests, reports and first passes in hours, so your roadmap moves sooner.
Every certified professional reviews AI output the same way before it reaches you.
Clear rules on data and tools, backed by our ISO/IEC 42001 readiness for AI management.

75–89 hfor the same work, across a team of 5
That’s the time of 1.9–2.2 extra people every week, or 3,600–4,270 hours a year, without adding headcount.
Aiden Certified: every Built professional completes Aiden, our AI certification, and proves it on real work before day one.
Illustrative. Task times are typical baselines for a mid-level professional; Aiden Certified times apply the productivity gain Built teams reach in each function. Hours assume a 40-hour week and 48 working weeks a year. We’ll size your real numbers on a call.
Four steps.
One standard for every hire.
- STEP 1Learn
Short modules that pair a clear explanation with hands-on labs, built on our own curriculum instead of slides.
- STEP 2Practice in their function
Tracks for software, data, marketing, finance, operations and customer success, using the tools those teams use.
- STEP 3Certify on real work
Knowledge checks after every module, then a readiness assessment on the kind of task they’ll do for you. No certificate, no start date.
- STEP 4Stay current
The curriculum is updated as our AI platform evolves, with quarterly training and monthly Built OS releases on top.
Engineers who ship production AI features in their first weeks.
Engineers train on AIDEN, [up]start.13’s own framework for building production AI applications. By the end of the track they’ve built a working AI app from scratch and shipped a complete feature, with security and audit built in from the first commit.
- Build an AI app on day oneFrom an empty folder to a running, health-checked app in the first lab.
- Ship a feature end to endData model, API, interface, AI streaming and audit logging, in one feature.
- Security & compliance by defaultRole-based access, audit trails, secrets handling and AI-specific risks.
- Design system disciplineInterfaces that follow the design system and its rules, not one-off screens.
- Fix problems fastA troubleshooting playbook from symptom to cause to fix, across the whole stack.
- Prove readinessPer-module knowledge checks and a final cross-module assessment.
What certified professionals bring to your team
Code, tests, reports and documents start with AI, so their time goes to judgment and finishing.
Prompts and workflows tuned to your repos, docs and standards, not generic chat.
A consistent check of every AI output for accuracy, so mistakes stop with them.
Recurring tasks turned into workflows that run the same way every time.
They know what can go into which tool, and your client data never goes where it shouldn’t.
Updates, handoffs and documentation your U.S. team can act on without a follow-up call.
Certified teams. Measurable results.
more output than a U.S. hire, depending on the function
lower cost than a U.S. team
more output for every dollar you spend
productive on your stack, because training happens before they start
A feature that takes 16 hours goes out in about 9.5. Tests that take 6 take about 3.5.
Month-end reconciliation drops from 16 hours to about 11, with variance notes drafted alongside.
Triaging 100 support tickets takes about 4 hours instead of 6, so customers hear back sooner.
