Certification in Coordination

Norms, Professional Activities and Certification Program

1. Normative Framework (Coordination)

Professionals certified in Coordination must comply with the following IVEXSI normative instruments:

• IVEBOK — Intelligent Vertical Engineering Body of Knowledge
  Governs principles of decision accountability, systemic analysis, uncertainty management and ethical responsibility.

• IVEXSI Decision Engineering Standards
  Defines structured decision-making frameworks, acceptance criteria, risk allocation and go/no-go logic.

• IVEXSI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
  Establishes ethical boundaries, independence requirements and conflict-of-interest rules.

• Applicable Structural, Safety and Regulatory Codes
  As referenced and integrated within IVEXSI standards (without replacement of local law).

Coordination certification is governed by decision responsibility, not execution compliance.

2. Specific Professional Activities (Coordination)

Certified Coordination professionals are authorized and expected to perform the following activities:

• feasibility and viability assessment for vertical expansion;

• definition of technical premises, assumptions and constraints;

• establishment of decision frameworks and methodologies;

• evaluation of alternatives and comparative scenarios;

• identification, classification and acceptance of risks;

• definition of acceptance criteria and decision thresholds;

• coordination of multidisciplinary technical inputs;

• validation of boundary conditions for execution;

• formal justification and documentation of decisions taken.

They are responsible for why and whether a vertical expansion should proceed.

3. Certification Program (Coordination)

The Coordination Certification Program includes:

a) Foundational Knowledge

• principles of Vertical Engineering;

• decision engineering under uncertainty;

• systemic behavior of existing buildings;

• regulatory and ethical accountability.

b) Methodological Training

• IVEXSI decision frameworks;

• risk analysis and acceptance logic;

• coordination methodologies;

• documentation and traceability of decisions.

c) Applied Evaluation
