1. What type of decision is selecting an AI red-team platform for adversarial testing?

   1. A procurement and architecture decision
   2. A decision that requires no technical knowledge
   3. A decision based solely on marketing materials
   4. A purely aesthetic choice between user interfaces

2. Which task can AI tools reliably assist with when evaluating red-team platforms?

   1. Replacing your security team's expertise
   2. Generating side-by-side feature comparisons
   3. Automatically selecting the best platform for your team
   4. Eliminating the need for integration planning

3. What does the lesson identify as a critical step before signing a contract with a red-team platform vendor?

   1. Skip the evaluation phase to save time
   2. Estimate the migration cost before you sign
   3. Request a demo from the sales team
   4. Choose the most expensive option for better security

4. What fundamental limitation does the lesson describe about AI in the context of red-team platform selection?

   1. AI cannot generate comparisons between platforms
   2. AI cannot help draft procurement documents
   3. AI cannot determine which platform fits your specific team without real evaluation
   4. AI cannot access vendor pricing information

5. What is the primary purpose of adversarial testing in the context of AI red-teaming?

   1. To identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in AI systems before deployment
   2. To select the cheapest AI security solution
   3. To compare the marketing claims of different AI vendors
   4. To automatically fix security flaws in production systems

6. Why does the lesson recommend drafting a comparison brief when evaluating red-team platforms?

   1. To systematically evaluate fit based on requirements rather than marketing impressions
   2. To eliminate the need for technical assessment
   3. To speed up the purchasing process regardless of fit
   4. To create a document the vendors will approve

7. What total-cost factor does the lesson specifically advise evaluating over a 12-month period?

   1. Annual subscription fees only
   2. Basic licensing costs
   3. One-time implementation costs
   4. Total cost of ownership including integration and migration expenses

8. What risk factor does the lesson identify as potentially underestimated when selecting red-team platforms?

   1. The complexity of user interfaces
   2. The possibility of vendor bankruptcy
   3. The risk of using open-source alternatives
   4. Vendor lock-in and associated switching costs

9. What distinguishes the evaluation approach the lesson advocates from choosing tools 'by vibes'?

   1. Relying on the most popular vendor
   2. Choosing based on brand recognition
   3. Prioritizing the newest technology
   4. Structured comparison using specific evaluation criteria

10. Why is the phrase 'switching costs in this category are higher than they appear' particularly relevant to red-team platforms?

    1. The technology changes too quickly to plan for
    2. Open-source alternatives are incompatible
    3. Vendors intentionally hide their prices
    4. Integration complexity and custom model adaptation create significant migration barriers

11. What role does total-cost modeling play in the red-team platform evaluation process?

    1. It automatically selects the best vendor
    2. It replaces the need for technical testing
    3. It determines which features are most important
    4. It helps predict the full financial impact including integration and ongoing costs

12. What makes HiddenLayer, Robust Intelligence, and Lakera Red difficult to choose between without proper evaluation?

    1. They each have different strengths, pricing models, and integration requirements
    2. They all work identically with any AI system
    3. They are all free and open-source
    4. They are all the same product under different names

13. What does the lesson imply about relying solely on AI recommendations for platform selection?

    1. AI recommendations are biased toward expensive vendors
    2. AI recommendations should supplement but not replace human evaluation
    3. AI recommendations are always accurate
    4. AI recommendations eliminate the need for testing

14. What hidden factor often catches buyers off-guard with red-team platform contracts?

    1. Annual price increases built into the contract
    2. Support response time guarantees
    3. Cancellation fees that are never charged
    4. Migration costs when switching vendors mid-contract

15. Why might a buyer regret choosing a red-team platform based primarily on surface-level impressions?

    1. Because vendors always lie about their capabilities
    2. Because the technology becomes obsolete immediately
    3. Because the platform will stop working after one year
    4. Because integration challenges and costs become apparent only after deployment
