An AI scoring, screening or triage vendor is about to become part of a decision you are accountable for. Their answers are smooth. Mine are the questions that make the smoothness testable.

You get six pressure-test questions built for this class of vendor, the answer patterns that should reassure you and the ones that should not, and one forensic read of the reply they actually send back — turned into testable claims, missing evidence, and a practical next move. Enough to go into a procurement conversation knowing what you have not been told.
