# AI Vendor Evaluations & Scoring | Orbiq

Review questionnaire responses with AI scoring, consistency checks, and evaluation reports that save time on every vendor review.

## 30 Minutes Per Vendor You Get Back

An AI agent reviews every questionnaire response, checks previous submissions for consistency, weighs vendor criticality, and writes evaluation reports — so you don't have to.

## TL;DR

Reviewing vendor questionnaires manually takes 30-45 minutes per vendor. Orbiq's AI evaluates responses against your criteria, **checks for consistency with previous submissions**, considers **vendor criticality**, and generates **evaluation reports** with scores and recommendations. You review and approve — **same rigor, fraction of the time.**

## Features

### Context-Aware Scoring

Intelligent Evaluation, Not Just Pattern Matching

AI considers the full context: the vendor's criticality tier, the questionnaire's intent, your scoring criteria, and how answers compare to industry standards.

- **Criticality weighting:** Higher-risk vendors are held to stricter standards automatically
- **Intent-aware evaluation:** AI understands what each question is really asking and evaluates accordingly
- **Criteria-based scoring:** Scores are generated against your defined requirements, not arbitrary benchmarks
- **Industry context:** AI knows what good answers look like based on security frameworks

### Historical Consistency

Catch What Manual Review Misses

AI compares current responses to previous submissions. Flags contradictions, identifies improvements, and catches vendors who gave different answers to the same questions.

- **Cross-assessment comparison:** Automatically flags changes from previous submissions
- **Contradiction detection:** Catches conflicting answers within the same questionnaire
- **Improvement tracking:** Identifies where vendors have addressed previously flagged issues
- **Regression alerts:** Flags when a vendor's responses indicate degraded practices

## Why AI-Powered Evaluations Matter

- **Consistency::** Human reviewers have good days and bad days. AI applies the same standards to vendor #50 as vendor #1.
- **Speed::** 30 minutes of manual review becomes 2-5 minutes of AI review + human approval.

You're not removing human judgment — you're focusing it where it matters. AI handles the systematic evaluation; you handle the edge cases and final decisions.

## Who Uses AI-Powered Evaluations

### Security & Compliance

Review vendor assessments in minutes instead of hours. Focus your attention on flagged issues rather than reading every response.

### Procurement

Get structured, comparable evaluations across vendors. Make selection decisions based on consistent scoring.

### GRC Teams

Scale your vendor assessment program without scaling headcount. Maintain rigor as your vendor base grows.

### Auditors

Every evaluation is documented, timestamped, and exportable. Clear audit trail of how vendors were assessed.

## Manual Review vs. AI-Powered Evaluation

- **Time per vendor**: 30-45 minutes vs. 2-5 minutes review
- **Consistency**: Varies by reviewer and fatigue vs. same criteria every time
- **Historical context**: Requires digging through files vs. automatic comparison
- **Scalability**: Linear with headcount vs. handles volume without fatigue
- **Documentation**: Manual notes in spreadsheets vs. structured reports with rationale
- **Contradiction detection**: Easy to miss vs. systematically flagged

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I override AI evaluations?

Yes. Every AI evaluation is a recommendation. You review the scores, the rationale, and the flagged issues — then approve, adjust, or override as needed. Human judgment is always final.

### How does AI handle subjective questions?

AI evaluates based on your defined criteria. For questions without clear right/wrong answers, it provides analysis and flags for human review rather than forcing a score.

### What happens with new vendors who have no history?

AI evaluates them against your criteria and industry standards. Historical comparison becomes available from their second assessment onward.

### Is my vendor data used to train AI models?

No. Your data stays yours. AI evaluation runs on your data but doesn't use it to train models that benefit other customers.

### How does this connect to questionnaires and monitoring?

AI-Powered Evaluations scores the responses collected through AI-Supported Questionnaires. The results feed into Continuous Monitoring for trend tracking. It's one integrated workflow.
