About Event

The AI Output Audit - a hands-on session for startups, SMEs, agencies, and consultants who need to compare ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and open models in Ollama like Qwen and Gemma with evidence, not vibes. You'll leave knowing which model is worth the cost, which ones are quietly failing, and exactly what to do when the next "new and better" model drops.

Most teams choose AI models the way they choose restaurants: "My friend said GPT is good." "Claude felt better." "DeepSeek is cheaper, let's switch." When a model fails, you don't know why or whether a different one would have done better. You're just hoping.

In 60 minutes, you go from hoping to knowing. Using a simple spreadsheet, we compare pre-collected responses from real models side by side, scoring failures like hallucinations and execution errors before they become technical debt. No code. No data team. No vendor pitch. Just a clear, repeatable way to make AI decisions you can defend to a client, a board, or yourself.

You'll walk out with: A proven scoring framework, hands-on experience grading real model outputs pass/fail, a completed scorecard you can read and reuse, and the spreadsheet itself.

This event is part of Raleigh-Durham Startup Week, a community-driven conference that supports founders and celebrates entrepreneurship across the region. Learn more at raleighdurhamstartupweek.com
