“One Visionary at a Time” — building a movement through every project, every voice, every step forward.
CAHDD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed & Developed™) is a global, community-driven movement that keeps human creativity at the center of innovation. At its core is the CAHD™ rating system and workflow — a documented framework that transparently shows how much of a project is guided by human effort versus computer assistance. By clearly recording the balance of design, refinement, and development, the CAHD™ workflow helps protect copyright and intellectual property while fostering trust with clients, collaborators, and audiences.
“CAHDD isn’t just about transparency—it’s about protecting your creative legacy.”
Some clients will embrace the precision and efficiency of technology-heavy work, while others will value the authenticity of handcrafted, human-led creativity. The CAHD™ stages make those distinctions visible, empowering artists, architects, designers, engineers, and makers to match their process to the needs and values of their audience.
CAHD™ Rating System — clear and honest
Creators can apply a subtle CAHD™ watermark — a dot-pattern that blends with the artwork — to show where they believe their work falls on the CAHD™ scale, without detracting from the work itself. The CAHD™ icon can also be shown where visibility is needed, like online stores, portfolios, or contest entries.
CAHDD™ is not a product or a marketplace — it is a philosophy, a framework, and a growing movement. Our goal is to raise awareness, document best practices, and give the creative community the tools to thrive in a future where technology supports — not replaces — human ingenuity. By sharing, adopting, and spreading the CAHDD™ philosophy, you help strengthen a culture of transparency, creativity, and respect for human contribution worldwide.
CAHDD™ operates on an honor system. The stages are self-declared, and the icons or indicators themselves are not legal proof. If a client, partner, or court requests verification, it’s the responsibility of the creator or organization to provide supporting material—for example, work-in-progress files, timestamps, prompt logs, layered source files, or other documentation of their process.
“This is an honor-based framework. Icons and watermarks are tools, not proof. Creator accountability is required to support claims.”
This supporting information doesn’t just back up a stage declaration—it’s also a critical safeguard for intellectual property rights. In copyright disputes, clear evidence of human creative contribution can determine whether a work qualifies for protection. Retaining structured proof of your workflow helps demonstrate authorship, clarify where and how AI tools were used, and protect your ownership claims.
For clients, this transparency builds trust. For creators, it provides legal resilience in a landscape where questions of authorship, originality, and AI involvement are becoming more complex.
