Executive summary

Practical AI vendor selection for regulated EU organisations: classify use cases, apply knock-out criteria, compare suppliers, run RFI/RFP, and score a PoC.

AI Compas selection procedure

The AI Compas selection procedure applies the neutral framework to a concrete AI purchase. It links classification, legislation, supplier scoring, sector scenarios, RFI/RFP and PoC templates, and contract requirements. Use the records as a method, then confirm the legal and deployment boundary for the use case.

  • Ten procedure records cover classification, legislation, suppliers, RFI/RFP, scoring, contract and PoC, practice and conclusion.
  • A score or gate is evidence for a procurement decision, not a certification of an AI system or supplier.

For consumers

The AI Compas procedure turns the framework into a selection run. It gives a buyer a route from classification and legislation through supplier questions, scoring, a proof of concept and contract checks, with practice and monitoring left visible at the end.

For businesses

The procedure is the operational route for an AI RFI/RFP and PoC. It connects the classification tree, legislation matrix, supplier scoring, sector scenarios, templates and contract requirements so a selection team can record why a bid passed, failed or needs a defined exception.

For engineers

The procedure translates the neutral criteria into an auditable run: classification tree, legislation matrix, supplier evidence, scoring, RFI/RFP and PoC, then contract and monitoring controls. The records describe a method; they do not certify a supplier or a deployment.
