The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

Has read "European AI" on a wrapper that sends every prompt to a US model, "agents" that are saved prompts, and "we never train on your data" with no word on the model provider behind it. Asks which model answers, where it runs, what it may do unsupervised, and what a thousand seats cost.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Data use, training & retention

How this is scored

What happens to prompts, uploaded files, connected data and outputs: whether any of it trains a model (the vendor's or a model provider's), how long it is kept and where logs live, whether zero-retention is available, and whether a data processing agreement covers it.

0 — No statement on training or retention; the privacy policy is a website policy that does not cover the product.

3 — A general statement that business data is "not used for training", with no word on retention, on the model providers behind the product or on logs.

5 — Business data excluded from training by contract, retention periods stated for chats and files, and a DPA offered to business customers.

8 — No-training commitments stated for the vendor and every model provider it routes to, retention configurable by the admin (including deletion of chat history), zero-data-retention terms with the model providers named, and abuse-monitoring retention described.

10 — Data use fully accounted for: training, retention, logging and abuse monitoring stated per model provider, customer-controlled retention and deletion with an audit trail, outputs and connected data treated as customer data in the DPA, and an independent audit (SOC 2, ISO 27001 or ISO 42001) covering the product.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Training and retention are documented store by store: prompts and answers in Postgres with deletion on request, documents in storage accounts, embedding vectors in Qdrant, and a flat statement that none of it is used for AI model training. The model provider side is pinned down too — Azure OpenAI processes documents in memory only, with an opt-out agreement with Microsoft and abuse monitoring disabled — and a DPA with SCCs is published, backed by ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and SOC 2 Type 2 audits. What keeps it off the top rung: deletion runs through an email to the security team rather than admin-configurable retention with a customer-facing audit trail, and the privacy policy, the retention documentation and the DPA give different figures for retention, which a buyer must reconcile. 3 5 6 7

Models & processing location

How this is scored

Which models sit behind the product and who runs them, where inference and storage happen, whether the customer can pin processing to the EU, choose or exclude model providers, bring its own model or key, or run the product in its own cloud or on premises.

0 — The models behind the product and the processing location are not stated.

3 — The model family is named, but where inference runs and through which provider (the model maker, a hyperscaler, the vendor) is unstated.

5 — Models and their providers named, with an EU processing option stated for storage and at least the default model.

8 — Each available model listed with provider and inference region, EU-only processing selectable by the admin and enforced across models, model providers excludable, and bring-your-own-key or own-cloud deployment documented.

10 — Processing fully under the customer's control and documented: EU-only or on-premises inference for every feature including agents and connectors, open-weight or self-hosted models supported, data flows per feature published, and a residency commitment in the contract rather than on a marketing page.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The default brain is named: OpenAI reached through Microsoft infrastructure, storage contractually kept in Switzerland, and Azure OpenAI models deployed separately within the customer's Azure environment rather than through public OpenAI services. Three deployment models are documented, including a customer-managed tenant on the customer's own cloud, and self- or cloud-hosted custom models can be connected for standard use cases, with model availability configurable per deployment. We found no public information on a per-model list with inference regions, on an admin-selectable EU-only setting enforced across all models, or on excluding a specific provider. 3 6 7 9

Admin, identity & access controls

How this is scored

What the IT department controls: SSO and SCIM provisioning, roles and groups, which models, agents and connectors each group may use, retrieval that respects the permissions of the source system, audit logs, usage reporting, and policies such as data-loss prevention — and whether reporting on staff use is scoped and documented.

0 — No admin features documented; accounts are individual sign-ups.

3 — A team workspace with an owner and member invitations, but no SSO, no roles and no audit log.

5 — SSO, admin and member roles, user management, and an admin view of usage.

8 — SAML/OIDC SSO with SCIM provisioning, group-based permissions for models, agents and connectors, retrieval that inherits source-system permissions, exportable audit logs, and usage analytics with documented scope.

10 — Governance a regulated company can operate: fine-grained policies (DLP, content filters, prompt and output logging rules), audit logs streamed to a SIEM, per-agent ownership and approval, usage reporting that can be aggregated or pseudonymised for works-council agreements, and every admin action logged.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Access control is genuinely engineered: custom roles with transitive inheritance, resource-by-action permissions (read, write, delete and so on) settable through the Gatekeeper API, implicit audit logging on every operation, SharePoint permissions synced into the knowledge base, and per-user token and spend tracking with daily limits. The unusually honest documentation of limits — audit event lists non-deterministic, exports prepared over days and capped at five business days per request, granular policies invisible in the UI — is to the vendor's credit. We found no public information on single sign-on or SCIM provisioning, which for a bank buying a thousand seats is the first question IT asks. 2 8 10 11 13

Integrations, connectors & knowledge

How this is scored

How the product reaches company knowledge and systems: connectors to file stores, wikis, mail, CRM, ticketing and ERP, how fast and how completely they sync, the API, support for open protocols such as MCP, and how the assistant cites the sources it answers from.

0 — No integrations; users paste text or upload files one at a time.

3 — File upload and one or two connectors (for example a drive), with no API and no statement on sync or citations.

5 — A connector library covering the common file stores, wikis and collaboration tools, answers citing sources, and a documented API.

8 — Connectors to file stores, wikis, mail, CRM and ticketing with incremental sync, custom connectors or MCP support, an API and webhooks for embedding assistants and agents in other tools, and source citations on every grounded answer.

10 — The product sits in the company's systems: read and write connectors with documented scopes, MCP servers and clients, contact-centre or telephony integration where relevant, a knowledge layer that can be audited and corrected, and the data, agents and configuration exportable when the customer leaves.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The SharePoint and Confluence connectors are documented in real depth — incremental file-diff sync, permission synchronization for SharePoint with granular Microsoft Graph scopes, label-driven ingestion, rate limits and configurable scans every 15 minutes by default — and custom MCP servers plus a GraphQL API and SDK open the platform to internal systems. The documented library reaches file stores and wikis; we found no public information on mail, CRM or ticketing connectors, on webhooks, or on how a grounded answer cites its sources — the question I always ask before trusting a RAG answer. 2 9 12 13

Agent capabilities & guardrails

How this is scored

What an agent can actually do and where it stops: multi-step tasks, tool use and actions in other systems, scheduling and triggers, human approval before consequential actions, run logs, evaluation and testing before release, and the limits the vendor states rather than hides.

0 — No agents; the product is a chat window, whatever the marketing says.

3 — Saved prompts or custom assistants with instructions and files, but no actions in other systems and no run history.

5 — Agents that call tools or APIs and run multi-step tasks, built without code, with a log of each run.

8 — Agents that act in connected systems with scoped permissions, human approval configurable per action, triggers and schedules, test and evaluation tooling before release, and documented limits and failure handling.

10 — Agents a business can put in production and account for: versioning and staged rollout, evaluation against test sets, monitoring of quality and cost per agent, handover to a human with full context, every action attributable to the agent and the person who deployed it, and the vendor's own statement of what agents must not be trusted with.

Report an error

The Skeptic

These are real agents, not saved prompts: an agentic loop with planning, tool execution and post-processing, prebuilt finance agents for KYC, RFP and due diligence workflows, and benchmarking against human-verified ground truths with quality-risk flagging and a four-stage model evaluation funnel, plus per-step execution-time logging. The MCP Hub lets an admin scope which systems, tools and datasets each agent may touch. We found no public information on human approval before consequential actions, on agent triggers or schedules, or on versioning and staged rollout — so I cannot say what stops an agent from acting unsupervised. 1 2 8 14 15

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where customer data is hosted, and who the subprocessors are — model providers above all, then hosting, search, telephony and email. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; for an AI product the model provider is a subprocessor, so a European interface over a non-European model counts as such.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors (including model providers) unnamed.

3 — A privacy policy exists, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the model providers behind the product are not named as subprocessors.

5 — EU hosting stated and an EU contracting entity, but prompts reach non-EU model providers or other subprocessors without a stated safeguard or EU region.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, every subprocessor listed with its location including model providers, EU inference available, and a DPA offered.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and model processing, every subprocessor European or optional, data export and deletion documented, and a security or certification statement published rather than implied.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The contracting entity for EEA and Swiss customers is Unique AI AG at Stockerstrasse 34, Zurich, under Swiss law with exclusive venue in Zurich, storage remains in Switzerland on named Azure infrastructure, and a DPA with SCCs is published. The model layer rides on Microsoft, a US-headquartered provider subject to the US CLOUD Act regardless of server location, mitigated by an opt-out agreement, disabled abuse monitoring and data centres in Switzerland — and a New York entity, Unique Applications Inc., is controller for customers outside the EEA and Switzerland. Subprocessors are published only as categories; we found no public information naming individual subprocessors with their locations, including the DPA appendix. 3 4 5 6 7

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a company can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per seat, per agent, per conversation or per usage unit, what is included in each tier, usage limits and overage, which models, connectors or agents cost extra, minimum seats and term.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or "from" figure exists, but usage limits, included models and what scales the cost are unclear.

5 — Prices per tier are public with the main inclusions, but usage limits, overage, agent runs or enterprise features (SSO, audit logs, EU processing) are unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with seat or usage units, usage limits and overage rates, add-ons listed, minimum seats and term stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of seats, agents or conversations, with every usage rate, model surcharge, add-on and support tier and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

Report an error

The Skeptic

We found no public prices: subscription fees are set in the Order Form, and none of the captured pages — homepage, platform, trust center, terms of service, documentation — shows a per-seat, per-agent or usage price, a tier breakdown or usage limits. The published material covers billing mechanics only: invoiced fees due 30 days from the invoice date, subscription obligations non-cancelable and payments non-refundable, automatic renewal unless notice is given at least 30 days before term end, fees changeable at renewal on 30 days' written notice, taxes extra. The annual cost for a given number of seats cannot be computed from public pages. 1 2 3 4
