What's inside

The complete AI vendor due diligence questionnaire.

Most HR teams sign AI vendor contracts without knowing what to ask. This questionnaire levels the playing field — in a meeting, on a call, or before a signature.

Free. No fluff. Immediately usable.

Know before you sign

Eight things your vendor
is hoping you don't ask.

⚠ "We can't disclose that" — on data use or model behavior.
⚠ No clear stance on human oversight. No one accountable when the AI is wrong.
⚠ No logging or audit capability. You cannot see what the tool did or when.
⚠ Vague answers on bias testing. Or no bias testing at all.
⚠ Your data trains their model. No opt-out offered.
⚠ Liability terms that place all responsibility for AI outputs on you.
⚠ No Data Processing Agreement available or offered.
⚠ Model updates with no versioning, release notes, or customer notification.
"I used to take your 911 calls. Then I wrote your ERPs. Then I wrote your employees' reviews. Now I can see exactly where you're exposed."

Culture Craft builds practical governance frameworks for HR leaders navigating AI adoption, workforce risk, and the gap between policy and reality.

Not theory. Not thought leadership. Tools you can use on Monday morning.

The AI Governance Policy Starter Kit includes the Vendor Due Diligence Questionnaire, the AI Use-Case Intake & Approval Workflow, and the 30-Day AI Governance Launch Plan.
