AI Vendor Evaluation Scorer

Score an AI vendor before you sign.

The AI vendor market is young, loud, and full of thin products behind polished demos. This scores one against the questions that actually predict whether you'll regret the contract.

Answering "Unknown" is not a failure — it's the point. Every unknown becomes a specific question to send the vendor, generated at the bottom of your results. Most buyers discover they can't answer half of these, which is precisely the problem.

About this tool. Scoring reflects common failure patterns in AI vendor relationships — data rights, exit terms, output ownership, and vendor durability. It is a structured first pass to focus your diligence, not a substitute for legal or security review. A high score means the obvious risks are addressed, not that the contract is sound.
