This is a separate question from the grade above. The grade measures resilience — whether the tool endures and whether you could leave it. This measures who can compel your data. A tool can score modestly on one and strongly on the other, and many do.

How this grade is set

Vannus grades Glean against nine dimensions of trust — data sovereignty, training privacy, compliance posture, operational resilience, exit portability, and more. The heaviest criterion asks whether the tool builds its own AI or resells someone else's model; where the vendor discloses it, the grade cites the vendor's own documentation. No paid placements — scoring is walled off from affiliate revenue. See the methodology →
