Is the quiz scientifically validated?
No: it is an editorial readiness rubric. References such as the evaluation guide inform the topics, but do not validate the points or predict project success.
Can a high score override missing data rights?
No: question 3 is a hard gate. Review the actual agreements and model licence; the quiz cannot grant permission.
What if we do not know an answer?
Choose A and record the missing evidence rather than guessing. The risk-management approach supports making uncertainty and responsibility visible; the next action is to resolve the gap.
Does readiness mean fine-tuning is the preferred architecture?
No: it means you are better prepared to compare options. Routing research is one reason the pilot should include credible alternatives instead of presuming adaptation wins.
Can we use this before speaking to a supplier?
Yes: it helps turn a vague request into a bounded brief. Use concrete error analysis and your own evidence to answer it, then ask suppliers to address the actual gaps.
