Obtain the supplier’s substantiation records: Before approval under US consumer-protection and competition
Supplier substantiation records directly test the advertised accuracy; outsourcing, contracts, and disclaimers do not eliminate responsibility.
The question
A bank is considering a supplier’s AI that extracts financial-document fields. The supplier advertises 98% accuracy, but the bank has not independently tested it. Before approval under US consumer-protection and competition rules, which evidence should resolve the supplier-reliance uncertainty?

- Ask an independent consultant to review the workflow generally.A general workflow review may identify process issues, but it does not specifically substantiate the advertised extraction accuracy.
- Rely on the contract’s indemnity and audit rights.Contractual protections allocate some risk but do not establish that the supplier’s public accuracy claim is truthful or supported.
- Obtain the supplier’s substantiation records. ✓Supplier testing and substantiation records directly address whether the advertised accuracy claim has supporting evidence before the bank relies on it.
- Approve after adding a disclaimer that identifies the external provider.Naming the supplier and adding a disclaimer does not remove ordinary responsibility for unsupported accuracy representations.
The trap
When a vendor supplies the claim, seek claim-specific testing evidence rather than relying on contractual allocation or disclaimers. How to remember it
Supplier substantiation records directly test the advertised accuracy; outsourcing, contracts, and disclaimers do not eliminate responsibility.
