AI TOOL EVALUATION — RUN THIS PROMPT IN YOUR AI TOOL OF CHOICE
Zero → Frontier — free, ungated, no attribution required

HOW TO USE THIS: Find the pricing page and privacy policy of the AI
tool you're considering (copy the URL, or paste the actual text of
those pages if the AI can't browse). Paste them into the prompt
below along with your own situation. The AI will produce a structured
evaluation — you don't fill out a blank form yourself.

I'm evaluating whether to adopt a new AI tool. Here is the
information:

TOOL NAME: [name]
WHAT I'D USE IT FOR: [your specific recurring task from your Use
Case Inventory, if you have one]
PRICING PAGE CONTENT: [paste the text, or the URL if you can browse]
PRIVACY POLICY CONTENT: [paste the text, or the URL if you can browse]

Evaluate this tool against these six criteria, and for each one,
tell me what you found and flag anything unclear or not publicly
stated (don't guess — say "not stated" if the page doesn't say):

1. FIT — does this tool's actual features match my stated task, or
   is it overkill / underkill for what I need?
2. DATA HANDLING — is my input used to train the tool's models by
   default? Is there an opt-out, and is it self-serve or does it
   require contacting support?
3. COST STRUCTURE — what exactly is included free, and what's the
   hard cap (messages/day, minutes/month, credits)? Is there a
   surprise-overage risk?
4. RELIABILITY — does the tool disclose known limitations or
   failure modes anywhere on its own pages?
5. EXIT PLAN — can I export my data if I stop using this? Is there
   vendor lock-in risk (e.g., proprietary hosting, no data export)?
6. HUMAN OVERSIGHT FIT — does adopting this tool require me to add
   any new review step before I trust its output for real use?

End with a one-paragraph verdict: adopt, adopt with a specific
caution, or don't adopt yet — and the single biggest reason why.
