I’m not saying every industry has a cert industry, just like not every industry has a regulating body; just that these are predominant enough in IT and related fields that it shouldn’t be surprising to a lot of people here to realize there are a lot of them.
And of course I get that we were supposed to buy our own copy. We actually had our own copy (when paying $20k for an audit the couple $100 for the spec is insignificant), it was just an anecdote I found funny.
They refused to provide anything about the spec so hard, even though we kept insisting we did meet it... they wouldn’t even tell us which part specifically we didn’t meet because they didn’t want to provide any of the spec to us. I think it took the CTO and I sending heavily highlighted copies of the requirements from the spec to them for them to realize that we had it, it was ok to show us specifically what they didn’t think we met.
