The ADHD Friendly™ mark indicates that a product has:

•    Been audited against the NICD Standard

•    Met defined thresholds for predictability, low cognitive friction, and honesty

•    Been validated by neurodivergent user panels

The ADHD Friendly™ mark does not claim:

•    Universal suitability

•    Clinical treatment

•    Superiority in efficacy

It certifies neurological accessibility within defined parameters.

Certification evaluates products across:

•    Sensory predictability

•    Cognitive friction

•    Stimulation band fidelity

•    Task completion and interruption resilience

•    Honesty alignment

Products must meet minimum thresholds in all domains.

The Honesty Gap Score measures alignment between:

•    Stated claims

•    Sensory and visual cues

•    Blind user perception

•    Actual experience

Low scores indicate high trustworthiness.

Certification is valid for one year (with a potential extention to three years) and requires re-audit to account for formulation drift, manufacturing changes, and communication updates.
