AI Terms Maturity20% weight
Vendor-reported46/100
Observed from customer contracts and renewal correspondence covering AI usage, data and model terms in the signed agreement. Based on paperwork supplied by three or more buyers, cross checked against the vendor's published terms.
Vendor-reported: 59/100
Submitted by the vendor through the structured declaration form.
How to read this: the overall figure is a weighted average of the five categories, and one evidence basis applies to the whole card rather than category by category. The vendor completed the full declaration and its own figures are recorded next to ours, category by category. Participation does not move a vendor up the table, and where the two readings disagree both stay published.
Taking part does not raise a score. It changes what we can show our working against.
This score measures commercial treatment at renewal, not product quality. A vendor can be excellent and still price hard.
