AAB v0.1 is live at vordan.co/baseline.

This is the document I have been building toward since Vordan launched. Every Accountability Report, every Gap Alert, every iteration of the VAF has been pointing at the same structural problem: enterprises are deploying autonomous AI agents right now, and no one has defined what accountability looks like for any of it. The infrastructure layer is being built and funded. The governance layer that tells you whether that infrastructure is sufficient does not exist yet.

AAB v0.1 defines the minimum conditions under which an enterprise can claim its agentic AI deployment is accountable by design. Seven accountability conditions. Three evidence tiers per condition. A gap classification taxonomy that tells you not just whether a gap exists but what kind it is and what the remediation path requires. And a mapping to every major framework practitioners are already using: NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, NIST CSF 2.0, COBIT 2019.

It is vendor-neutral by design. The moment an accountability standard is authored by someone selling the infrastructure it covers, it is no longer an accountability standard. Vordan has no infrastructure to sell. The AAB exists to define what the infrastructure has to prove.

Version 0.1 is the foundation. It will evolve as practitioners use it and contribute to it. If you are deploying agentic AI, assessing it, auditing it, or governing it, this is the reference the field has been missing. It is yours to use, cite, and pressure-test.
