Twelve domains, weighted by how directly a gap exposes the organization.
Coverage never changes with the plan or the reviewer. What changes is depth, and no domain is assessed with fewer than three questions. Weight bands are published rather than tuned per engagement.
Data and model control
Subprocessors and supply chain
Derivative data and embeddings
Human in the loop controls
Suspension and fallback architecture
Model incident reporting
Ambient capture governance
Cross border data transfer
Cross customer tenant separation
Agentic access and API scope
Termination and data return
Audit rights and inspectability
You never choose which risks to look at. All twelve domains are assessed on every vendor; the plan and the deployment pattern set how deep each goes.
Six facts decide which questions apply.
Clinical context, systems touched, write access, autonomy level, states of operation and the decision date resolve to one of thirteen deployment patterns. The pattern sets question depth; state overlays add jurisdiction-specific questions. A risk floor means PHI, subprocessor and termination questions always apply.
You answer six facts about how the tool will be used. The platform selects the questions and the state overlays; a risk floor means nothing critical can be scoped away.
A published rubric, with partial credit.
Every question carries a scoring band from 0 to 5. Answers are scored against the band; evidence is rated separately as verified, partial, unverified, documentation gap or missing. A reviewer note is required wherever the applied score departs from the suggested score. Domain scores are weighted into the overall score out of 100.
A score you can explain to a committee. Every applied band is visible, every departure from the suggested band carries a reviewer note, and an open finding caps the total.
Four severity tiers. Tier 4 pauses the review pending resolution.
A gap between what was asked and what was shown becomes a finding with a tier, a domain and an owner. Open findings cap the overall score. A tier-4 finding pauses the review until the item is resolved or formally accepted by the committee.
Findings are what you act on. Each carries a tier, an owner and a due date, and qualifying findings generate the contract control that closes them.
Six questions in full.
Every question names the provision behind it, the evidence artifact it expects in return, and the logic used to score the response. Six are shown in full so your team can judge the method rather than take our description of it.
Every question records where the requirement came from.
Obligations arise from statute, regulation, agency guidance, enforcement practice, contractual terms, accreditation requirements and recognized frameworks. Each question records its source so the record shows why it was asked.
