Assess vendors

Which vendor should we trust with our data?

Several vendors scored on ten criteria weighted for your profile, with two knock-outs no weighting can rescue.

  • You leave with: A ranking of vendors, knock-outs included

The candidates and the grid

0 absent · 1 verbal promise · 2 documented but partial · 3 contractual · 4 contractual and verified. Two criteria are knock-outs: without a DPA and a no-training guarantee, price does not matter.

The assumptions

Every figure above rests on these. The ones marked “assumption” have no external source: they are modelling choices, labelled so they can be argued with rather than mistaken for measurements.

Weighting profile
standardObserved
Standard: price weighs as much as compliance. Regulated and public: residency, certifications and logs weigh more, price less.
Knock-out criteria
GDPR-compliant DPA, No-training guaranteePublished
A score ≤ 1 on either ranks the vendor last regardless. Without a DPA, personal data cannot lawfully be sent; without a no-training guarantee, your confidential data becomes the vendor's.

What the calculation does, what the AI does

Every figure on this page comes from a deterministic algorithm running in your browser: the same input always gives the same result, and nothing is sent to produce it. AI runs only afterwards, to write the commentary from those figures. It produces none of them — the format it fills has no numeric fields — and any sentence quoting a value the calculation did not produce is removed before display.
