What problem does it solve? Choosing the wrong software vendor locks a business into high costs, poor interoperability, and painful migrations. This Skill structures vendor selection as an evidence-backed decision process so founders and agents compare options on total cost, risk, adoption, and exit feasibility before committing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Vendor Screening: Define outcomes and requirements, screen vendors, test workflows, and assess security and data handling before shortlisting. - Total Cost & Risk Modeling: Model total cost of ownership, risk-adjusted value, expected downside loss, and constraint headroom with explicit confidence scores. - Negotiation & Exit Planning: Establish negotiation boundaries and plan exit paths so the company avoids lock-in and preserves reversibility. - Use Case: A founder needs to pick a CRM within a cash limit. The agent loads company context, compares at least three vendors against the counterfactual, recommends the highest confidence-weighted option that passes hard constraints, and routes the contract commitment for human approval. ## Quick Start Use technology vendor selection to compare three CRM vendors against our budget and integration constraints and recommend the best option.
