How do you evaluate an AI automation partner?
Ask the provider to explain the workflow, integration requirements, approval boundaries, testing, ownership, and handoff. A proposal should connect specific deliverables to a business problem. Evaluate demonstrated capabilities and documented scope rather than broad AI claims or unsupported return estimates.
Bring the current process to the conversation
Show where work starts, who handles it, and where it gets delayed. Include the tools in use and a few representative requests. A provider can define a useful scope more accurately when the actual handoffs and exceptions are visible.
Compare the same deliverables
Check what each proposal includes for account setup, integration, testing, staff guidance, and documentation. Ask which dependencies belong to your business and which belong to the provider. Treat different assumptions as a scope question before comparing the commercial proposal.
Agree who owns the finished system
Clarify account access, workflow documentation, responsibility for failures, and how future changes are requested. Your team should understand how to use the system and who to contact when a request does not follow the usual path.
