For anyone selecting an AI development partner, I would look beyond the model names in the proposal.
The more useful questions concern data access, integration ownership, evaluation methodology, security, observability, deployment, intellectual property and support after launch. A team should be able to explain how the system behaves when retrieval fails, a model changes or an external API becomes unavailable.
We apply the same criteria when scoping projects at [url=https://ai-development-services.com/]AI Development Services[/url]. What would you add to this checklist?
