Vantage Workspace / Canadian supplier and investor reviews

Canadian-controlled evidence for regulated digital work.

Bring one AI-assisted task to the review. Establish where its data went, who could approve the action, and which record explains the outcome.

AI due-diligence questions paired with evidence requests: data destinations, named approval, rejected-action outcomes and retrievable records.
Handvantage's evaluation method. This illustration is not a product test result or a mandatory investor checklist. The same review is set out in text below.

What the customer needs to control.

Vantage Workspace combines business applications and named AI Workers in a single-tenant environment. Customer-hosted and dedicated hosting arrangements need an explicit operating agreement. Work through these boundaries before live data enters the pilot.

Infrastructure and custody
Agree who operates the tenant, where primary data and backups live, and who can restore them.
Models and external services
Name every approved model route and service destination. Review support access, retained copies and the relevant contracts.
Human authority
Name the reviewer for each consequential action. Test approval and rejection against the source system.
Evidence and exit
Agree what can be exported, how long records are retained, and how an independent reviewer retrieves them.

A review the buyer can repeat.

  1. Choose a synthetic task with an agreed source and expected output. Record the identity, configuration and evidence date.
  2. Prepare a consequential action and reject it. Inspect the decision record, then check the source system independently for changes.
  3. Retrieve the evidence from outside the original chat. Document anything the reviewer cannot establish and assign an owner to each open question.

A pass belongs to the tested workflow and configuration. It does not establish every connector, future model route or customer deployment.

What Canadian operation means here.

Handvantage is a British Columbia-based firm. Canadian-operated describes our company; it does not assert that every customer tenant, subcontractor or model endpoint is in Canada. Those choices belong in the deployment and supplier review.

A Canadian server address does not remove foreign jurisdiction, establish government endorsement or confer a procurement preference. The relevant contracts, corporate relationships and access arrangements still need review.

Vantage's eleven base evidence templates include Canada's Treasury Board Directive on Automated Decision-Making, labelled TBSDADM. Templates organise evidence; they do not certify an organisation or decide whether a directive applies.

The federal directive has a defined institutional and use-case scope. A private supplier should establish the applicable departmental and contract requirements rather than describe all Canadian AI use as covered. See the Treasury Board scope guide.

Start with one reviewable workflow.

Use the procurement scorecard to prepare your questions, or bring a supplier review to Handvantage. Deployment timing and supported workflows are scoped to the engagement.
