Browser-only scorecard

AI Technology Evaluation Scorecard

Compare two options against weighted criteria tied to mission fit and the operating environment. The score creates a visible basis for discussion; it does not replace source-selection or authorization.

How it works

Weight what matters, then score the evidence.

Adjust each criterion’s importance from 1 to 5. Score Option A and Option B from 1 to 5 based on evidence you can verify, not the quality of a demonstration or sales presentation.

Private by design: calculations stay in this browser. The scorecard does not transmit or save values. Keep all use unclassified and non-sensitive, and refer to options only as A and B.

Weighted comparison

Scale: 1 means weak or unsupported; 3 means mixed or conditional; 5 means strong and supported by relevant evidence.

CriterionWeightOption AOption B
Mission and workflow fit
Supports the defined user, decision, tempo, and consequence of error.
Evidence and reliability
Claims can be tested with representative data, measures, failure analysis, and traceable results.
Security and control
Fits information boundaries, identity, permissions, logging, oversight, and deployment constraints.
Integration and operability
Works with required systems, interfaces, data paths, infrastructure, and support practices.
Lifecycle and maintainability
Updates, monitoring, incident response, sustainment, documentation, and skills are credible.
Portability and dependence
Data, models, workflows, interfaces, and knowledge can move or remain usable if conditions change.
Cost and commercial fit
Total cost, licensing, usage, support, exit terms, and acquisition implications are understood.

Decision checks

A weighted total can hide a disqualifying condition. Mark the checks that both options must satisfy before a recommendation is credible.

The companion guide explains how to define criteria, request evidence, run representative tests, and inspect lifecycle dependencies.
