AI Vendor Renewal Go/No-Go Framework

Teams often renew under time pressure without decision discipline. This framework creates a fixed rhythm for evaluating renewal risk, fallback readiness, and contract protections.

Implementation Steps

  1. Run pre-renewal evidence review for cost, quality, incidents, and SLA performance.
  2. Set decision thresholds for automatic renew, renegotiate, and replacement triggers.
  3. Validate fallback vendor readiness before final approval on high-risk renewals.
  4. Publish go/no-go decision memo with owners and escalation timeline.
