Certification attests capability. It is not an endorsement of this practice by Anthropic, and I make no claim about how many people hold it, because Anthropic publishes no such count. What the register establishes: the credential exists, it is the Professional tier of Anthropic’s architect track, it was examined under proctored conditions, and it was issued on 23 July 2026, in the credential’s launch month. The dates are on the public record. Verify them.
