FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stator AI Publishes Guidance on Vendor Diligence and Operating Metrics
New articles help executives ask better questions of AI vendors and distinguish demo scores from numbers that survive production.
August 17, 2026. Stator AI today published executive guidance at statorai.com for boards and senior operators evaluating applied AI. The articles focus on diligence questions worth asking before a pilot starts, and on the difference between metrics that look good in a vendor demo and metrics that describe an operating system.
The pieces cover diligence questions executives should ask AI vendors before the pilot, and how to tell a demo metric from an operating metric. Both are written for readers who need board-ready language without marketing theater.
"A pilot that cannot name its operating metric will report whatever the vendor screenshots," a Stator AI representative said. "Ask for the number you will still care about ninety days after the kickoff."
The guidance is free on the Stator AI blog. Stator AI continues to produce executive briefings on applied AI for leaders who need clarity before budget and risk conversations harden.
