How does your AI workflow hold up?

Six questions to ask any AI tool your team uses on site files. Answer for the tool you use today: any “no” is a gap that leaves you at risk.

Start the self-check Join the December 9 webinar

0 of 6 answered.

  1. Do answers come from your site's own documents?

    Best practice: ensure no interpretation by AI, only answers from the data and documents.

  2. Can you open the page behind every citation?

    Best practice: a citation that you can verify immediately.

  3. Was the tool tested for environmental tasks?

    Best practice: AI tested on environmental data review, lab results and site reports.

  4. Does it surface the facts and flag data quality issues?

    Best practice: it should pull the facts to identify QA/QC errors, data inconsistencies and outliers to allow you to check them.

  5. Does it run the statistics, or only describe them?

    Best practice: make sure you can see the calculations and double-check the analysis.

  6. Does an expert review the AI’s work before it is used?

    Best practice: a qualified professional should check the output before it goes into a report.

Generic AI and Statvis, side by side.

Ask the same six questions of any tool, including ours.

QuestionGeneric AIStatvis
Do answers come from your site's own documents?The answers come from the model’s training data, plus whatever you pasted in.The answers come from the site’s own record. Every page of every document is indexed and searchable.
Can you open the page behind every citation?Not always. A citation can be generated text that only looks like a reference.Each citation links to its source page, paragraph or cell to ensure review.
Was the tool tested for environmental tasks?Tested on generic tasks, not on environmental work.EnviroBench tests AI tools on environmental tasks before a model is used.
Does it surface the facts and flag data quality issues?Answers the question asked. It doesn’t check the data behind it.Surfaces the facts and flags QA/QC issues, such as data inconsistencies and outliers, for a person to check.
Does it run the statistics, or only describe them?May describe a method it never ran.Runs HCA, UMAP and PCA on data to present findings geospatially in 2D and 3D.
Does an expert review the AI’s work before it is used?Not built in. Typically requires additional attention to the reference and rationale.The data is served up for a qualified person to review the output and citation.

Webinar with ESAA · Zoom
