Do not buy the demo.
A polished demo shows what an AI product can do once. This checklist helps you inspect what was tested, where it fails and who stands behind the result before money or production access changes hands.
Seven proof checks
Write these down before you compare products.
Use one acceptance test for every vendor. Change it only when the job changes, not when a demo looks persuasive.
- 01
Name the job before the tool.
Write the outcome, normal cases, edge cases and failure threshold before watching the demo. Every product should face the same test.
- 02
Ask which version produced the result.
Record the product version, model, test date and material configuration. Evidence from a different release is not evidence for the product in front of you.
- 03
Inspect the test conditions.
Check the sample, data, prompts, integrations, review process and operating environment. A headline number without its conditions cannot be reproduced.
- 04
Compare against a real baseline.
Measure the current workflow and the same acceptance criteria. Include setup, usage, human review and exception handling in the cost.
- 05
Read the failures, not only the wins.
Ask what failed, how often people corrected the output, and which cases were excluded. Limits help the right product reach the right buyer.
- 06
Map access and control.
List the data, systems and actions the product can reach. Decide what requires approval, what is logged, and how access can be revoked.
- 07
Know who owns the outcome.
Confirm the builder, support route, escalation path, update policy and commercial terms. A claim needs an accountable owner after the sale.
