AI is not software you use. It is intelligence you delegate. Most AI buying mistakes do not show up at the booth. They show up six to twelve months later, in your data, your contract, and your bill. This kit is how you catch them at the booth: every question worth asking, the rubrics for the answers, the red flags, the vocabulary, and an auditor you run yourself.
What work will this AI own inside my dealership? If the rep cannot answer in one sentence, stop. Everything below assumes they passed.
What work does your AI own inside a dealership? If your team cannot answer in one sentence, fix that before the next demo. Everything below is what a prepared dealer will ask you next.
The deal side: what the AI owns, who owns the data, what leaving costs, what growth costs, who pays when it is wrong. Use them exactly as written. The press line is what to say when the answer goes soft.
A dealer who arrives with these is your best customer. Meet them with artifacts, not adjectives.
The second set, twelve security and compliance questions with full answer rubrics, is in the questionnaire below. Certifications, controls, data handling, incident readiness, continuity. Pick your sets, pick your vendor categories, print the sheet.
The second set, twelve security and compliance questions, is in the questionnaire below. Generate it for your own product and have the artifacts ready before procurement asks.
A dealership is a data business that sells cars. Credit applications, government IDs, and bank details sit in systems your vendors operate. The FTC Safeguards Rule requires dealers that arrange financing to oversee those service providers, in writing, in contracts. A generated questionnaire, sent and filed with the answers, is that oversight on paper.
This tool never evaluates, scores, or renders a verdict on any named vendor. It fetches nothing about any company. It generates the questions and describes what strong, weak, and red-flag answers look like. You do the asking. You do the judging.
These phrases sell booths. They do not run dealerships. Each one has a strong version. The gap between the two is the tell.
This site never judges a vendor. You do. The Auditor is a full set of due-diligence instructions, refined in production at a real dealership. Copy it into your own AI, point it at a vendor's website and documents, and get a procurement-ready report with testable proof questions and a scored claim inventory.
Dealers are starting to run automated claim audits before renewal meetings. Run this on your own site first. Every claim it marks Unverified is a claim a prospect cannot verify either. Fix the artifact, not the copy.
Plain English, no vendor spin. If a rep cannot explain these clearly, that is your answer.
GEO scores your site. Safeguards scores your store. This one arms you for everyone you plug into them.
