AI Vendor Selection - Wordsmith Academy 2025.pdf

Follow-Along Worksheet for Live Session


Choosing the right AI tool for your legal team can feel overwhelming. With 60+ contracting platforms now promising to automate redlines, streamline reviews, or “transform” your workflow, it’s harder than ever to separate genuine innovation from marketing spin.

This interactive handout accompanies Elspeth Vincent’s *Wordsmith Academy Live* session, **“A Buyer’s Guide to Legal AI Vendors: From Roadmap to Renewals.”**

It’s designed to help you follow along during the conversation — and leave with a structured, repeatable framework for evaluating AI tools with confidence.

You’ll learn how to:

* Identify the real problems AI can solve in your legal workflow.
* Evaluate vendor funding, roadmaps, and team quality.
* Assess data security, implementation support, and renewal terms.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a practical checklist you can bring to your next vendor meeting — a framework to cut through the noise, ask sharper questions, and make smarter buying decisions.

**Format:** PDF handout (5 pages)
**Recommended use:** Print or annotate digitally during the live session.
