Protect Your AI Strategy from Overstated Vendor Claims


The Executive's Guide to AI Vendor Accountability: Get the Key Questions to Ask Before You Invest in AI

Before you sign another AI contract, read this.

Health system leaders are under real pressure to adopt AI. Vendors know it. The sales cycles are faster, the claims are bigger, and the due diligence window keeps shrinking.

The FUMBLE Framework gives you back the advantage. Now you can download this structured evaluation tool developed through The Health Management Academy's AI Catalyst program, built specifically for the leaders who are accountable for what happens after the contract is signed. Critical categories. Targeted questions. A clear lens for what responsible AI adoption actually requires.

Whether you are evaluating your first AI vendor or your fifteenth, this framework will change what you ask and what you hear back.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  1. Confidence in the room. Know exactly what to ask when a vendor leads with "our proprietary large language model" or "predictive AI." Ask the right questions to surface what's behind the curtain before a purchase order is signed.

  2. A shared vocabulary for your team. The FUMBLE Framework gives clinical, operational, and financial leaders a common framework for evaluating AI tools without requiring anyone to become a data scientist.

  3. Protection from the six most common vendor blind spots. From training data that doesn't reflect your patient population to ROI claims built on a single underpowered pilot, these are the gaps that don't appear in the sales deck.

  4. Questions that open honest conversations. Rather than adversarial checklists, the framework equips you to invite transparency from vendors who have built something real, and to quickly identify those who haven't.

The FUMBLE Framework was developed through direct input from health system leaders navigating these decisions today. It is a resource built by and for the people who carry accountability for getting this right.
