AI Tool Evaluation Matrix
Run a candidate AI tool through structured due diligence, classify the data it touches, weigh the evidence, and see whether it lands as approved, conditional, or prohibited.
This is a wide, side-by-side comparison tool. It opens full-screen over the site so you have room to score multiple tools across every dimension at once, then closes back to the framework. Your tools and evidence are saved on this device, so you can leave and return.
- Score tools side by side across data sensitivity, risk, and institutional fit
- Data classification drives an automatic approved / conditional / prohibited call
- Add your own candidate tools and capture the evidence behind each rating
- Aligned to FERPA, the NIST AI RMF, and EDUCAUSE practice
- Export the comparison for a procurement or governance review
- Progress saved locally on this device
Best on a laptop or larger screen. This matrix is an illustration of the method, the tiers, default ratings, and sample tools are demonstrations, not approvals. It supports due diligence; it doesn't replace your privacy, security, and procurement review. Always consult your campus policies, and where they differ from anything shown here, your campus policies govern.
