What problem does it solve?

Vendor evaluation at scale is prone to marketing bias and opaque risk assessments. This skill provides a structured framework to compare vendors against a defined use case, using weighted criteria and cited evidence to guide procurement decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Weighted criteria scoring across capability, reliability, security/compliance, TCO, and terms to produce a defensible vendor scorecard.
• Outputs include risk registers, SLA requirements, and a practical recommendation to support procurement decisions.
• Phase-driven workflow from use-case setup to exit strategy and PoC planning, with artifacts for governance and handoffs.

Quick Start

Define your use case and must-have features, assemble a vendor shortlist and forecasted volume, then run the weighted evaluation to generate a scorecard, risk register, SLA requirements, and a recommendation.
