Operator is the first level of AIXE Certified. You work through five short lessons and a written check, then do a real task from your job with AI. An AIXE reviewer scores it, and if you pass you get a certificate anyone can check.
Module 1 explains how your company decides where AI should work, and has you sort your own week into three groups. Your practical comes from that list.
The lessons don't teach one product. They work with whichever AI tools your job allows, and you don't need to know how to code.
You can say which of your tasks AI should take on and which it shouldn't.
You get a usable first draft on a task from your own job.
You catch the planted errors in a sample output.
You sort real examples into allowed, allowed with care, and never.
You write down the tools, prompts and checks you'll use from now on.
You take a task you do every week, do it with AI, and show how you did it before, how you do it now, the check you ran, the data you used and the time it takes each way. An AIXE reviewer scores it on five lines. To pass, every line needs at least a 3 out of 4, and data handling needs a 4. If it doesn't pass, you get the reviewer's notes and can hand it in again.
| What we score | 1 · Not yet | 2 · Close | 3 · Meets | 4 · Strong |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JudgmentKnows when to use AI and when not to | Uses it everywhere, or nowhere | Uses it on the right tasks after prompting | Picks the right tasks unprompted | Can explain the choice to a colleague |
| CheckingVerifies before anything leaves their hands | Passes output on unchecked | Checks some of it | Checks facts, numbers and sources | Builds the check into the process |
| Data handlingFollows the rules they work under | Puts restricted data in an unapproved tool | Unsure where the lines are | Follows the rules without help | Spots a gap in the rules and raises it |
| QualityThe work is good enough to ship | Needs redoing | Needs heavy edits | Needs light edits | Ready as handed in |
| ResultThere is a measured difference | No before or after | Claimed, not measured | Measured on one task | Measured and repeatable |

AIXE is a two-day retreat where founder-CEOs decide where AI should work in their companies. Operator is the course their teams take afterward. You're taking the same level, held to the same standard.
A builder at heart and an engineer for more than 20 years. He built the technology behind a TV network in 60M+ homes and live streaming licensed by Wimbledon, the US Open and HBO. Today he builds FinalPeace as its only engineer, working with a team of AI agents.
Chef and operator. Co-founder of Snibbs, the slip-resistant work shoe made for people who spend their shifts on their feet in kitchens and hospitals. He built The Lime Truck into TLT Food and Hatch Yakitori, and won Food Network's Great Food Truck Race twice.
