Model Selection Framework for Enterprises

Choose the right AI model for each use case based on accuracy, cost, latency, and compliance

What Is a Model Selection Framework

A model selection framework is a structured process that helps enterprises choose the right AI model for each use case. It evaluates models across dimensions such as accuracy, cost, latency, safety, compliance, integration needs, and data sensitivity.

Enterprises use this framework to avoid guesswork and ensure that every AI workflow uses the most suitable model for performance and cost efficiency.

Why Enterprises Need a Model Selection Framework

As organizations adopt AI across multiple functions, choosing the wrong model becomes expensive and risky. A clear framework eliminates confusion.

Ideal for industries with regulatory responsibilities: financial services • healthcare • retail • technology

Where a Model Selection Framework Creates Business Impact

A strong model selection framework helps enterprises scale AI reliably and cost effectively.

Sales

  • Identify the right model for proposal generation
  • Select models for email drafting, qualification, and summaries
  • Balance creativity with compliance needs

Customer Support

  • Choose models for classification, RAG, and resolution suggestions
  • Optimize ticket routing and automated responses

Operations

  • Select models for document extraction and structured output
  • Use smaller models for repetitive, high volume workflows

Risk and Compliance

  • Enforce strict use of safe, controlled models
  • Ensure all AI outputs meet regulatory expectations

How a Model Selection Framework Works in Simple Terms

A well designed framework typically follows six steps.

1

Define the task type

Classification, summarization, generation, retrieval, reasoning, or extraction.

2

Define constraints

Latency, cost, privacy, compliance, volume, and required accuracy.

3

Evaluate candidate models

Compare LLMs, SLMs, multimodal models, and domain specific models.

4

Test using standardized benchmarks

Run each model against real enterprise examples.

5

Score and select

Choose the model that meets requirements with the best cost to value ratio.

6

Monitor and refine

Performance changes over time as models and requirements evolve.

This creates a repeatable pattern for selecting models across use cases.

Dimensions Used in Model Selection

Enterprises evaluate models across several key factors.

Accuracy
Latency and throughput
Cost per thousand tokens
Context window size
Multimodal support
Data privacy and isolation
Integration with existing systems
Safety and compliance
Vendor stability and support

A structured scoring system ensures consistency across teams.
