Buyer and evaluator guides

Enterprise AI decision guides

How to choose a deployment, check citations and find out what a system does with no good evidence, before you approve a document AI workflow.

By Marella AI · Updated 21 Aug 2026

01

Evidence quality

Evaluate citations claim by claim and test insufficient, stale and contradictory evidence explicitly.

  • Citation review, claim by claim
  • Insufficient-evidence tests
  • Stale-version tests
  • Contradictory-source tests
02

Architecture and deployment

Compare managed and self-hosted responsibilities, then map each data, model, support and operating path.

  • Managed vs self-hosted responsibilities
  • Data path mapping
  • Model and support paths
  • Operating and recovery paths
03

Decision discipline

Keep hard constraints, unknowns, configuration and reviewer dispositions visible rather than reducing a decision to one generic score.

  • Hard constraints kept visible
  • Unknowns tracked, not hidden
  • Configuration recorded
  • Reviewer dispositions logged

Caveats

  1. B1Guides publish methods, not professional advice.
  2. B2Vendor terms and product configurations change.
  3. B3Use current evidence for the proposed release.
