An 8-page fillable PDF for putting a supplier process around the foundation models in your content workflows, including the ones your vendors run on your behalf.
A model is a supplier whenever its output goes into something you deliver. The model makers will not sign a services agreement, so the controls have to sit on your side. There are five, and every one is something a vendor management function already knows how to do. Almost nobody is running that process for models. This worksheet runs it.
