How the roll-up gate works
This tool grades a software / AI vendor's marketed claims, one by one, before you sign. It reads 6 claims and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 6 claims
A material ROI or autonomy claim that is both unproven (proof 0) and unbacked by contract (contract 0) is a RED FLAG that forces WALK AWAY no matter how clean every other claim reads — the promise you are actually buying cannot be the one with nothing behind it.
Why: Five of six claims read SUBSTANTIATED — uptime, SOC 2, data handling, connectors and support all carry proof and matching contract backing. But the one you are actually buying, a 40% cost-cut ROI promise, has zero proof and zero contract language. A high-stakes ROI claim that is both unproven and uncontracted is a RED FLAG, and one red flag rolls the whole vendor to WALK AWAY however tidy the rest looks.
No single claim is the crisis — the clustering is. The roll-up takes the worst, the gate escalates when trouble compounds, and it names the one thing to fix first. A scrutiny aid for your own vendor evaluation — not legal advice. It scores the vendor's pitch, not people, and does not interpret your contract or determine legal rights; marketing-claim substantiation is governed by the FTC, and counsel should review any agreement before you sign.
