Proof-of-Concept Testing Framework for Legal AI Vendors

·

4–10 weeks per vendor (standard POC); 8–12 weeks for Agentic Tier or high-risk evaluations

Purpose and Positioning

VEN-03 defines a repeatable proof-of-concept (POC) process to validate AI vendor claims using anonymised organisational data and realistic legal workflows. It sits between VEN-02 (RFP) and USE-02 (pilot), and must not start until STR-07 has approved initiation and DAT-03 has been executed.

POC outcomes feed directly into VEN-01 weighted scoring, STR-07 selection decisions, and AI BoM registration for any vendor progressing to pilot.

Key Takeaways

  • STR-07 AI Task Force approval is required both before POC initiation and before any vendor selection decision

  • DAT-03 DPA execution is a mandatory gate before any organisational data enters the test environment

  • Agentic Tier vendor solutions require 5 supplementary POC criteria; failure on any is an automatic disqualifier

  • The vendor evaluation scorecard weights technical performance (30%), business value (25%), user experience (20%), governance (15%), and commercial viability (10%)

  • Completed VEN-03 documentation constitutes the procurement DPS Defensibility lens evidence bundle across all 9 Risk Taxonomy classes

  • AI BoM registration for the selected vendor must be completed before pilot commencement

  • POC test data must be anonymised and security-cleared by an attorney before use in any vendor environment
