What this module teaches

A structured questioning practice for testing vendor claims before an automated system becomes operational dependency.

Participants learn

  • How to test a vendor's safety, auditability, and evidence claims.
  • How to recognise answers that sound reassuring but do not grant control.
  • How procurement conversations become governance interventions.

Practice work

  • Run a vendor answer through an evidence-access test.
  • Rewrite vague assurances as specific evidence requests.
  • Identify what must be refused before signing.

Outputs

  • Vendor interrogation script
  • Evidence request list
  • Procurement hold triggers
Deeper practice

How this module can expand in a workshop

Long-form teaching material should consolidate the vendor interrogation PDF and AI-ESG procurement examples.

In a live session this can become exercises, review prompts, templates, and team-specific examples.
