Anthropic·medium signal

Announced June 3, the Services Track adds three tiers (Select/Preferred/Global Premier) gated on certified practitioner counts, production deployments, and public customer stories, while the Partner Hub portal lets partners track standing and customers find qualified firms. A new MCP connector lets partner firms query tier status directly through Claude. Since March, 40,000+ firms have applied and 10,000+ consultants earned Claude certification — a signal of how fast a services economy is forming around the model.
