Self-Assessed: the honest first rung

Certification is earned on-site and can be failed. Self-Assessment is the rung below it, priced for a single property: run the public 15-check instrument on your own property, publish the result under your name, and stand in the directory while you close the gaps.

Direct answer: $950/yr per property. Every listing is labeled self-assessed — unverified, everywhere it appears. Verification is what Certified™ means, and the label is what keeps both marks worth something.

What $950/yr includes

A listed profile in the Self-Assessed directory with your 15-check results · the Self-Assessed badge kit (label rules included) · your score refreshed on request · a published upgrade path to Certified.

What it is not

Not verified, not Certified, never presented as either. Misuse of the badge without the label is a listing-removal offense — same 7-day directory rule as the certified mark.

Start: score your property, then list it

Run the free check first — it takes 10 minutes — then submit with your share link in the notes.

Charter rates · locked by buying now

Self-Assessed listing: $950 now → $1,250 from July 1, 2027. Today's price is the charter rate, held until the first annual re-score edition. Buy at charter and your rate is grandfathered for every uninterrupted renewal. Increases are announced here first — never invoiced retroactively. The step-up isn't a discount trick; it's the published cost of the desk's growing record.
