TECHNICAL conformance is thin: the only standard aetherAI's public surface actually speaks is the Model Context Protocol, and it speaks it because Wix hosts the website. REGULATORY conformance is substantial and independently verifiable: aetherSlide is FDA-cleared, CE-marked and TFDA-approved, and the company holds ISO/IEC 27001. No DOMAIN standard for digital pathology (DICOM / DICOMweb / HL7 v2 / HL7 FHIR / IHE PaLM) is declared anywhere in aetherAI's public material, so none is asserted — a reward-only slot is left empty rather than invented. conformance: - id: mcp label: Model Context Protocol conforms: true version: '2025-06-18' evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/_api/mcp method: probed note: >- initialize returned protocolVersion "2025-06-18" and a tools capability with listChanged:true; tools/list returned 9 tools with JSON Schema inputSchema. HTTP 200, anonymous. Transport is streamable HTTP. Platform-authored by Wix, served on aetherAI's host. - id: llmstxt label: llms.txt conforms: true evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/llms.txt method: probed note: >- HTTP 200, text/plain, well-formed llms.txt (H1 title, blockquote summary, H2 link sections). Wix-generated for the site. - id: oauth2 label: OAuth 2.0 conforms: false evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server method: probed note: HTTP 400 (HTML catch-all). No authorization-server metadata is served. - id: oidc label: OpenID Connect conforms: false evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/.well-known/openid-configuration method: probed note: HTTP 400 (HTML catch-all). No OIDC discovery document. - id: rfc9728 label: OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata conforms: false evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/_api/mcp method: probed note: HTTP 400. The MCP endpoint is anonymous, so no protected-resource metadata is required. - id: rfc9116 label: security.txt conforms: false evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/.well-known/security.txt method: probed note: HTTP 400 on both www and apex; HTTP 404 on demo.aetherai.com. - id: openapi label: OpenAPI conforms: false evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/openapi.json method: probed note: >- HTTP 400 HTML shell on the marketing host; HTTP 404 on demo.aetherai.com. No OpenAPI is published anywhere for any aetherAI product. - id: rfc9457 label: Problem Details for HTTP APIs conforms: false evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/_api/mcp method: probed note: >- Not applicable in practice — the MCP surface is JSON-RPC 2.0, which carries its own error object rather than application/problem+json. No REST surface exists to apply RFC 9457 to. domain_standards: declared: [] probed_for: - id: dicom label: DICOM / DICOMweb (WADO-RS, QIDO-RS, STOW-RS) declared: false note: >- Not named on the products page, the services page, the about page, or in any public aetherAI material found. aetherSlide is described as "vendor-neutral" for slide formats, but no DICOM or DICOMweb conformance statement is published. Recorded as absent, not as non-conformant — a conformance statement may exist behind the sales process. - id: hl7-fhir label: HL7 FHIR declared: false note: Not named in any public aetherAI material. - id: hl7v2 label: HL7 v2 messaging declared: false note: Not named in any public aetherAI material. - id: ihe-palm label: IHE Pathology and Laboratory Medicine profiles declared: false note: Not named in any public aetherAI material. note: >- REWARD-ONLY SLOT, LEFT EMPTY DELIBERATELY. Digital pathology does have real domain standards and a vendor that spoke them in a published contract would earn credit here. aetherAI publishes no contract at all, so there is nothing in which a standard could be declared. This is an absence of evidence, recorded as such. certifications: - id: iso-27001 label: ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management status: achieved year: 2024 evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/about method: searched note: >- Listed verbatim among the company's own 2024 milestones on its About page: "Achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification."

The openFDA 510(k) record returns applicant "Aetherai Co., Ltd.", device name "aetherSlide", decision "Substantially Equivalent" dated 2024-05-30. - id: ce-mark label: CE marking — aetherSlide, aetherAI Hema status: marked evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/products method: searched note: First-party claim on the products page. No notified-body number is published. - id: tfda label: Taiwan FDA approval — aetherSlide (License No. 006777), aetherAI Hema, aetherAI Endo status: approved identifier: '006777' evidence: https://www.aetherai.com/products method: searched note: First-party claim on the products page. regulatory_regime: healthcare regulatory_note: >- aetherAI is a regulated medical-device software maker (SaMD) in the US, EU and Taiwan. Its regulatory posture is strong and independently checkable; its API posture is absent. These are different facts about the same company and the score should reflect both honestly.
