Questions to ask
For this offering
- What does audit intelligence use to flag high-risk transactions, and can we see and change its rules or thresholds?
- Does AiDA send our data to an external model provider, and is that data used for training?
- How does IDEA show that an import captured the complete population from the source system?
- Is AiDA included or priced separately?
From the diligence question set
- DQ-09 Is each output generative or deterministic, what does any confidence score mean, and can a past output be reproduced and explained?
- DQ-11 How can we test that a feature considered the complete population, and how does it report items it skipped, could not process or excluded?
- DQ-13 What does the system record for each AI output or action, and can we export and keep those records for as long as we need them?
- DQ-16 Is our data, including inputs, outputs, documents and corrections, used to train or improve any model, yours or a third party's? Is that off by default, and is the commitment in the contract?
