AI vendor pitches all sound great in isolation — until you score them side by side. This scorecard gives you a consistent framework for evaluating capability, risk, and fit so the choice gets made on substance instead of demo polish.
What's inside
Two-part evaluation: the three-question fitness test up front, then a detailed scoring rubric covering capability, security, data handling, and total cost. One sheet per vendor; comparable scores across the board.
How to use it
- Score honestly. The lowest score is usually your most important investment.
- Have two or three peers score independently. The disagreements are where the conversation should start.
- Re-score in 90 days. The number is less interesting than the trajectory.
