The Model Card Your Procurement Team Treated Like a Datasheet

A model card is a research artifact. A datasheet is a contract. Procurement teams routinely read the first as if it were the second, and the AI vendor that handed it over is now bound to claims its engineering team thought were narrative.

This is the cleanest way to lose a renewal: you forwarded the same PDF you publish on your model index page, the customer's legal team excerpted four sentences into Schedule B, and twelve months later you discover that "intended use: general question answering" has become a contractual representation about scope of service. Your team measured those sentences in BLEU points. Their team is now measuring them in breach.
