- Require the supplier to provide annual performance benchmarks for the service.Annual benchmarks provide scoped performance evidence, but may not reveal material changes when they occur.
- Require a warranty that future service changes will not affect production outputs.A warranty cannot substitute for visibility into changes and may overstate what supplier evidence can establish.
- Require advance notice of material model or data-processing changes. ✓Advance notice enables the company to reassess evidence, responsibilities, and risks before continued production use.
- Require the supplier to maintain a current service description.A current description helps documentation, but does not ensure timely notice of changes requiring reassessment.
The trap
Choose the requirement that creates timely visibility of changes, not merely a standing assurance or periodic report. How to remember it
Material-change notification is decisive because it triggers reassessment of supplier evidence, responsibilities, and risks before continued use.
