Cream City AI · Vendor & Model Evaluation

No Favorites.
Just the Right Fit.

We evaluate models and AI vendors on the only benchmark that matters — your workload, your data, your risk, and your budget — across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight alike. Chosen on fit, never on vendor allegiance, with lock-in and exit planned before you sign.

Why It Matters

The leaderboard isn't your workload.

New models ship monthly, every vendor's benchmark says they win, and none of it tells you how a model performs on your documents, your terminology, your edge cases, and your compliance boundary. Meanwhile the wrong commitment compounds: pricing shifts, capabilities lag, and the switching cost grows with every workflow you wire in. Model choice is a business decision — it deserves the same discipline as any other vendor of record.

How It Works

Define. Test. Decide.

01
Define
Your requirements, made explicit

Workload, latency and volume, data sensitivity and residency, integration constraints, budget envelope, and the risk profile your industry demands — the evaluation criteria are set before any vendor demo.

02
Test
Evaluated on your actual work

Structured evaluation on your real tasks and documents — capability, consistency, cost per outcome — alongside a security and data-handling review of every candidate: training-use terms, retention, residency, and the contractual guardrails.

03
Decide
A recommendation with receipts

A ranked recommendation with the evidence behind it: total cost modeled at your volumes, lock-in exposure named, and an exit path documented — so you sign with eyes open.

What's Inside

Due diligence for the model layer.

The same rigor you'd apply to any strategic vendor — applied to the layer changing faster than any of them.

Model-agnostic evaluation

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight models evaluated identically, on your tasks — selected on client fit, never vendor allegiance.

Security & data-handling review

Training-use terms, retention, residency, tenancy, and certifications reviewed like the vendor risk decision it is — before your data goes anywhere.

Cost & performance modeling

Cost per outcome at your real volumes — not list price per token — with sensitivity to growth, so finance sees the bill before it arrives.

Lock-in & exit planning

Abstraction points, portability, and a documented exit path — so today's right answer doesn't become next year's hostage negotiation.

Plans

One decision, or a standing watch.

Engagements run per evaluation or as an annual watch. Pricing scales with the candidates and workloads in scope, not the size of your team.

Select

Model Selection

Custom / per evaluation

For teams that need a defensible model choice for a specific system.

  • Requirements definition with your stakeholders
  • Candidate evaluation on your tasks
  • Cost modeling at your volumes
  • Ranked recommendation with evidence
Watch

Ongoing Evaluation

Custom / per year

For organizations that want the model landscape watched, not rediscovered annually.

  • Everything in Full Evaluation, plus:
  • Quarterly landscape re-evaluation as models ship
  • Re-testing on your workloads when it matters
  • Price and terms change monitoring
  • A standing recommendation, kept current
