Open the companion tool →Why the disclaimer section is the useful part
Vendors document limitations precisely because those limitations cause harm. Reading them as instructions rather than boilerplate converts a legal document into a usage boundary.
You do not need to read the whole document; the intended-use, evaluation, and privacy sections carry the operational content.
The protocol
- Save the card or documentation with its version and date.
- Write down the intended uses and the explicitly forbidden or discouraged uses.
- Extract what the document says about inputs, retention, and human review.
- List the known failure modes named in evaluations, in plain words.
- Turn the list into three rules for how you will use the product.
What the tool does
Build a plain-language model-card read It runs locally in this browser and sends nothing.
Limit first: This is a literacy and record-keeping aid, not legal advice. It cannot tell you what a company will do with your data, only what its own disclosures say.
Open the companion tool →Cost and free path
Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.
Free path, in order (no cost):
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework for plain-language risk categories
- The vendor's own documentation and security reporting channel
- A regulator's AI disclosure page if the use is in a regulated sector
What this cannot do: It cannot tell you what a company will do with your data, only what its own disclosures say.

One human next step
If your actual use sits inside a limitation the vendor documents, change the use or add a human check; if a vendor's behaviour contradicts its own card, document it for the regulator and the public record.
