What is CTF?
CTF is a shared, free, open framework that any platform can adopt, any professional federation can adapt, and any practitioner can read and verify.
It articulates how an AI coaching agent should be designed, tested, deployed and supervised — so that the people who use it can trust what is being offered to them.
Three principles
Inductive
A deliberately minimal common core, declined per professional federation. The core grows only by absorbing what has been observed to be common across multiple implementations.
Examinable
Empirical evidence is a structural object. Helper agents are sollicited and inspectable. Supervision is tripartite by design.
Common good
The founding principle: the common good prevails over any organization, including any organization that might one day steward this standard.

Who's working on CTF
Get started
Qu'est-ce que le CTF ?
Le CTF est un cadre partage, gratuit et ouvert que toute plateforme peut adopter, toute federation professionnelle peut adapter, et tout praticien peut lire et verifier.
Il articule comment un agent de coaching IA doit etre concu, teste, deploye et supervise — pour que les personnes qui le consultent puissent faire confiance a ce qui leur est propose.
Trois principes
Inductif
Un noyau commun deliberement minimal, decline par federation professionnelle. Le noyau ne grandit qu'en absorbant ce qui a ete observe comme commun a travers plusieurs implementations.
Examinable
L'evidence empirique est un objet structurel. Les agents auxiliaires sont sollicites et inspectables. La supervision est tripartite par conception.
Bien commun
Le principe fondateur : le bien commun prime sur toute organisation, y compris toute organisation qui pourrait un jour porter ce standard.
