Six Criteria That Decide Cloud or Local AI Placement
This assessment scores six placement criteria — data sensitivity, third-party data handling, availability tolerance, regulatory and data-residency constraints, control and audit depth, and infrastructure and IT capacity — across 14 multiple-choice questions, then returns a cloud, hybrid, or local (self-hosted) AI recommendation.
