### **2. Use of AI & Automation**

**Does your LSP effectively use AI to speed up delivery while maintaining quality?**

- A. Yes – they balance AI and human expertise well
- B. They claim to, but the results are mixed

- A. Yes – their team feels like an extension of ours
- B. Somewhat – we get varying support depending on the project

You’re in great hands — your LSP is proactive, reliable, and strategic. Still, it never hurts to benchmark against the best.

**9–12 points: Room to Grow**  
You’re working with a capable partner, but there are gaps. With tighter systems and smarter tech, you could unlock more global ROI.
