Responsible AI
Responsible AI starts with what you choose to buy.
DiscovrX brings evidence, transparency and responsible-AI considerations into supplier selection while keeping human judgement at the centre.
Four principles
Responsible procurement, made tangible.
Independence
Supplier spend does not improve potential fit or recommendation ranking.
Evidence
Claims, reviewed evidence and unknowns should be distinguishable wherever practical.
Transparency
Buyers should understand the principal reasons a supplier may fit - and what still needs checking.
Human judgement
DiscovrX supports decisions. It does not replace appropriate human, legal, technical, security or procurement review.
The rigour underneath
Eight dimensions. Clear evidence standards.
Potential supplier fit considers eight defined dimensions. Missing evidence is not positive evidence, supplier payments never affect fit, and accreditation does not automatically increase fit.
View the eight evaluation dimensions
01Use-case and capability fit
How well the stated capabilities address the buyer’s use case and required outcomes.
02Buyer and organisational fit
Suitability for the buyer’s organisation size, sector, team and geographic needs.
03Technical and integration fit
Alignment with deployment, integrations, data sources and technical constraints.
04Data, security and responsible AI fit
Alignment with data handling, security, compliance and responsible-AI requirements.
05Commercial fit
Alignment with budget, pricing model and relevant commercial constraints.
06Implementation and service fit
Alignment with timing, onboarding, service, support and geographic delivery needs.
07Evidence strength and credibility
The availability and status of evidence supporting supplier claims.
08Risk and procurement fit
Alignment with procurement readiness, risk controls and decision requirements.
Due diligence
DiscovrX provides information and decision support. Organisations remain responsible for appropriate commercial, legal, technical, security, privacy and procurement due diligence before contracting with a supplier.
