AI for vendor management
AI vendor application scoring.
Read every application by hand and you'll lose Saturday. Tentpole's AI scores every incoming vendor application against your category requirements, your past-event vendor fit, and your stated criteria — so the obvious "yes" apps rise, the obvious "no" apps sort out, and you decide the middle.

What the AI actually looks at
- Vendor category vs. your event mix (already saturated? complementary?)
- Insurance + permit completeness
- Past-event sales (if vendor's history is known)
- Product description quality + pricing fit
- Red flags: MLM, banned categories, incomplete information
- Geographic relevance (local vs. distant)
How it presents the answer
Each application gets a score (A through D), a short plain-English summary, and a side-by-side comparison to vendors you've already approved in that category. You can override anything — AI doesn't approve, you do.
What this replaces
- Reading 60 PDF applications on Sunday
- Forgetting which vendor was in which category
- Approving a vendor and realizing 3 weeks later they don't have insurance
- Letting an MLM product through because the application looked normal
