The premise
RFP evaluation is inconsistent across reviewers. AI can apply your rubric uniformly to every response, surfacing where reviewers should focus their human judgment.
What AI does well here
- Apply a rubric uniformly across responses
- Highlight where vendors fail to answer the question
- Cluster strengths and weaknesses per response
- Draft clarification questions per vendor
What AI cannot do
- Read the relationship signal in how a vendor responded
- Verify vendor claims against actual references
- Decide which intangibles matter most
- Replace the evaluation committee's collective judgment
