# How to evaluate AI bid tools

Evaluate bid AI on evidence discipline, residual honesty, formal match depth, human control, security posture, and fit to Excel-heavy tenders—not marketing round numbers alone.

## Checklist

1. Can it separate rank vs formal match?
2. Does it surface residuals instead of inventing?
3. Are skill prerequisites clear (scan before match)?
4. Can specialists correct product specs?
5. Is ownership of submission explicit?
6. Are pricing claims only from official site sources?
