AI Model Bake-Off Scorecard.

Run the same audit tasks through each AI model, score the results from 1 to 5 on five criteria, set the weights that matter to your firm and see the ranking. The scores come from your own testing.

Criteria weights
Accuracy on your test set
Evidence and source citing
Handling of Indian formats and rules
Confidentiality and data handling
Cost and speed

Weights are relative and add to 100. They are used as shares of the total, so they do not need to sum to 100.

A weighted score is a summary, not a decision. Treat confidentiality as a gate rather than a weight: a model that cannot meet your client-data obligations should be out whatever it scores elsewhere. Use real, anonymised audit tasks, and run each model on identical inputs. Models change often, so re-test before relying on a result.

Test on your own work.

Public benchmarks say little about how a model handles a depreciation schedule, a TDS reconciliation or a bank confirmation. Build a small set of real tasks with known answers, remove client identifiers, and run every model on the same set. Score what you can verify, such as whether the figures tie and whether sources are named, and keep the written scores so the choice can be explained later.

How the weighted score works

You set a weight for each of five criteria and score each model from 1 to 5 on each. The weighted score is the sum of score times weight, divided by the total weight, so it stays on the 1 to 5 scale.

Models are ranked from highest to lowest. You can add or remove models and change the weights to see how sensitive the ranking is.

The scores should come from tests you ran on the same tasks for every model. The tool only does the arithmetic.

Worked example — two models, weights 40, 20, 15, 15, 10

Model A scores 4, 3, 4, 3, 3. Model B scores 3, 4, 3, 5, 4. Total weight is 100.

Inputs
Model A4, 3, 4, 3, 3
Model B3, 4, 3, 5, 4
Output
Model A weighted score3.55
Model B weighted score3.60
RankingModel B first, by 0.05
A gap this small is within the noise of scoring. The firm would test more tasks before choosing.

Common mistakes

Weighting confidentiality instead of gating on it
A model that fails your client-data obligations should be excluded, whatever its score.
Using different tasks for different models
Identical inputs are the only fair comparison.
Trusting a result for long
Models and terms change often. Re-test before each major rollout.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the scores come from?+
From your own testing. The tool does not test models or hold any model data.
Do weights need to total 100?+
No. They are treated as shares of the total weight.
Does my data leave the browser?+
No. Everything is calculated in your browser.
