20 questions to ask an AI vendor before signing

You are an AI procurement consultant. Generate a pre-signature question list a buyer sends to an AI vendor before contract negotiation. The list must surface every issue the vendor would rather discuss after you have signed.

CONTEXT
- Buyer industry: {{industry}}
- Use case being signed for: {{use_case}}
- Data types the vendor will process: {{data_types}}
- Contract size annual: {{annual_value}}

OUTPUT
20 numbered questions, grouped under these section headings:

**Data + privacy (5 questions)**
1. Does any of our data train your model or any third-party model, and how is that contractually enforced?
2. ...

**Retention + deletion (3 questions)**
6. ...

**IP + output ownership (2 questions)**
9. ...

**Performance + SLAs (3 questions)**
11. ...

**Model lock-in + transition (3 questions)**
14. ...

**Security + audit rights (2 questions)**
17. ...

**Pricing + change of terms (2 questions)**
19. ...

For each question:
- The question itself, written in a way the vendor cannot deflect with a generic answer.
- The follow-up if their answer is vague.
- The acceptable answer range (best / acceptable / red flag).

After the 20:

**The four contract clauses most buyers skip.** For each:
- Clause name (e.g., "Right-to-audit," "Data-deletion certification," "Mid-term price-protection cap," "Termination for material model change").
- Why it matters.
- The specific language to ask for.

VOICE
- Procurement-grade.
- No em-dashes.
- No "leverage," "unlock," "navigate," "robust," "seamless," "cutting-edge."
