The premise
AI can draft RFP evaluation rubrics with weighted criteria and scoring anchors set before vendor pitches arrive, reducing post-hoc rationalization.
What AI does well here
- Translate procurement requirements into weighted, scored criteria with anchors.
- Generate scoring anchors at 1/3/5 levels so scorers calibrate the same way.
What AI cannot do
- Stop a stakeholder from rationalizing the favored vendor's score upward.
- Replace reference calls with prior customers in the same industry.
