Procurement Readiness Check
A neutral review of procurement processes as they relate to the ATIC Standard.
The Procurement Readiness Check helps organizations understand whether their procurement workflows support the transparency, provenance, and vendor independence expectations of the ATIC Standard. It clarifies how procurement decisions intersect with governance obligations when acquiring AI systems. This is a neutral review, not procurement consulting or vendor evaluation.
What This Check Provides
A high‑level review of procurement workflows and documentation practices
Identification of transparency requirements relevant to AI acquisition
A review of provenance expectations for vendor‑provided systems
A non‑binding overview of vendor independence considerations
A mapping of procurement practices to the Standard’s principles
What This Check Does Not Include
To maintain neutrality, ATIC does not:
provide procurement consulting
recommend vendors
negotiate contracts
evaluate pricing or performance
provide legal or commercial advice
Who This Check Is For
Procurement teams acquiring AI systems
Organizations preparing for AOIC certification
Leaders evaluating vendor risk
Teams seeking governance‑aligned procurement practices
Outcome
Organizations receive a structured summary of procurement alignment with the ATIC Standard, supporting internal decision‑making and future certification readiness.
