Require local validation for the manufacturing use case: Which evidence should resolve the approval gap?
Local validation tests whether supplier evidence applies to the manufacturer’s actual process, conditions, and impacts.
The question
A manufacturer wants to use a supplier’s AI for quality-inspection prioritization. Intended use, users, data access, owners, monitoring, and escalation controls are defined, but the supplier offers only a broad assurance report and the team lacks evidence for this local process. Which evidence should resolve the approval gap?

- Compare the supplier’s published benchmark with industry averages.Industry comparisons may provide context, but they do not validate the system under this manufacturer’s conditions.
- Request a warranty covering performance across all manufacturing environments.A warranty may allocate contractual risk, but it does not generate evidence that this deployment performs safely in its local context.
- Require local validation for the manufacturing use case. ✓Local validation tests whether supplier evidence and controls transfer to the manufacturer’s actual process, data, users, and impacts.
- Accept the supplier’s broad assurance report as deployment evidence.Broad assurance has a defined scope and may not establish safe performance or controls for this local quality process.
The trap
Treat external assurance as scoped evidence; verify its relevance against the actual users, data, process, and impacts. How to remember it
Local validation tests whether supplier evidence applies to the manufacturer’s actual process, conditions, and impacts.
