AI Tool Evaluation Rubric

An operations manager or procurement lead who needs to evaluate AI tools across a cross-functional team without turning the process into a six-month political standoff — building a scoring rubric that forces honest comparison and survives executive scrutiny.

- Evaluation context template capturing problem, decision team, and timeline upfront

- 8–12 weighted scoring criteria organized by functional fit, technical, cost, vendor viability

- Clear 1-3-5 scoring definitions for each criterion — no ambiguous scales

- Disqualification checklist that screens tools before scoring begins

- Weighting rationale tied directly to your stakeholder priorities and non-negotiables

- Three-to-four step evaluation process: who scores, disagreement resolution, leadership presentation

- One specific red flag to watch during vendor demos that most teams miss

- Ready to hand to your cross-functional team on Monday, scores due Friday
