Question

How can a Flows app built outside CDF get reviewed and certified?

Hi everyone,

I've built Integrity Watch, a Flows custom app for equipment integrity on a synthetic offshore gas platform. It combines each equipment item's sensor limit violations into one risk score (green, orange or red), and shows it on a 3D model of the plant. Every problem then moves through a four-role case workflow, operator → investigator → supervisor → maintenance planner, ending in a tracked work order.

I created it with npx @cognite/cli@latest apps create and built it with Aura and the builder skills. Because I don't have a CDF project, it runs outside CDF with its own backend, using data shaped like the Core Data Model. Details are in the attached PDF.

My questions:

  1. Can Cognite review the code of a Flows app that runs outside CDF?
  2. Can an app like this count toward the self-paced builder certification?
