agent procurement scorecards weight simulation coverage

Procurement teams are asking vendors to quantify policy and failure-scenario simulation coverage as part of technical diligence, not as optional appendix material (NIST AI RMF).

evaluation shift

Simulation depth is becoming a practical proxy for how teams manage unknowns before real users absorb the risk.

signal braid

• Coverage evidence now influences shortlist ranking.
• Scenario diversity matters more than raw test count.
• Weak simulation narratives create legal and security friction.

my take

Coverage quality is becoming a procurement language shared by engineering and risk teams.
