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.
