Measurement Framework

I would evaluate the Copilot across three dimensions:

Product Value: Is the Copilot helping users move from risk identification to informed action?

AI Quality: Are the explanations accurate, grounded in evidence, and appropriately uncertain?

Guardrails: Are we improving speed without introducing unsafe recommendations, poor trust, or excessive system cost?

North Star Metric

Risk-to-Action Completion Rate: The purpose of the Copilot is not simply to generate supplier summaries. It should help users move from identifying a potential risk to making an informed decision or taking an appropriate next step.

Supporting Product Metrics

Time to insight - How long does it take a user to understand the main supplier-risk drivers?

Evidence inspection rate - How often do users review the evidence behind an AI explanation?

Recommendation usefulness - How often are suggested actions accepted, adapted, or dismissed?

Investigation completion rate - How many started supplier investigations reach a documented outcome?

Repeat usage - Do users return to the Copilot for additional supplier reviews?

AI Quality and Guardrails

Evidence-grounding accuracy - Are the AI's claims supported by the supplier data provided?

Unsupported claim rate - How often does the model introduce information that is not present in the source context?

Structured-output compliance - Does the model consistently return the expected format?

Missing-data handling accuracy - Does the system clearly identify when information is unavailable rather than guessing?
