## AI-native score: Unrated

Research coverage is 12/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed.

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

- **Open source** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-27. Read the complete Clerky-wide Terms, including their definition of Services, the limited-use license, reserved rights in service software and prohibited modification and distribution. Exact contiguous source quotations are supplied in the submission justification. These restrictions are evidence against open-source distribution of the hosted Formation software core. User Content ownership is expressly separate. No open-source distribution license for that core is provided on this complete licensing page. Source: https://www.clerky.com/site/terms
- **Zero data retention** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-27. Read the complete Clerky-wide Privacy Policy and its Data Retention section. Exact scope and retention quotations are supplied in the submission justification. The page requires keeping customer information for services and obligations and permits archives after removal from the service. These are explicit retention requirements for the hosted Formation service; they do not establish the zero-retention affordance. No passage in this complete policy offers a zero-retention setting or plan. Source: https://www.clerky.com/site/privacy
