What the Institute of Applied AI and Analytics™ owns, what you may use freely, and what needs asking first.

Last updated: 25 August 2026

This notice states what the Institute owns and what you may do with it, in plain language. It is not a substitute for legal advice — review it with a professional before relying on it in a dispute, and particularly before paid programmes or certifications launch.

1. Ownership

Copyright © 2026 Rahul Ghai, Institute of Applied AI and Analytics™. All rights reserved.

The Institute of Applied AI and Analytics™ is referred to as IAAA throughout the rest of this page.

This covers the original material published here: the written content of every page, the frameworks and their names, the teaching structure and sequence, the visual identity including the Institute's mark and lockups, the site's design and source code, and the photography and illustration made for it.

2. The named frameworks

The following are IAAA's own intellectual property, in their names, their structure, and their written articulation:

  • The Analytical Canon
  • The Applied Intelligence Method
  • The Authority Standard

You may discuss, cite and critique them freely, with attribution. You may not teach them as your own, package them into a course or consulting offer, or present a renamed version of the same structure as independent work.

3. Marks

Institute of Applied AI and Analytics™ and its abbreviations, IAAA Academy, and the Institute's mark and lockups are all used as marks in connection with this work. Do not use any of them in a way that suggests affiliation, endorsement, accreditation, or certification by the Institute where none exists.

4. What you may do without asking

  • Read anything here and link to any page.
  • Quote short extracts for review, commentary, reporting, teaching or research, with attribution and a link.
  • Take a screenshot to illustrate a discussion of this work, with attribution.
  • Describe IAAA's approach in your own words.

5. What needs written permission

  • Republishing substantial content, here or in translation.
  • Reproducing the frameworks' structure or curriculum in teaching or consulting material.
  • Using the Institute of Applied AI and Analytics™ name, its marks or its logo in your own materials.
  • Copying the site's design or source code into another project.
  • Training a model on this material as a distinguishable body of work, or reproducing it as model output.

Permission is not unreasonable to ask for. Write to connect@iaaa.academy with what you want to use and where. Most honest requests get a yes.

6. What is not ours

Third-party names, marks and certifications shown on this site — including the badges of the certifying bodies whose credentials Rahul Ghai holds — belong to their respective owners and are shown as evidence of those credentials, not as claims over them.

Typefaces used on this site are licensed from their creators and remain theirs.

7. If you think something here infringes your rights

Send it to connect@iaaa.academy with the page, the material, and what you are claiming. Where a claim is well-founded it will be taken down rather than argued about.

8. If you find this work copied elsewhere

We would like to know. connect@iaaa.academy.
