Service brief
Structured evaluation of candidate platforms against weighted business requirements, total cost of ownership and delivery risk — producing a decision your board and auditors can review years later.
Current run state
The business challenge
Selections are frequently won by the best demonstration rather than the best fit. Requirements are gathered too late, weightings are set after scoring, and the record of the decision is thin.
- !Requirements written after vendors are already shortlisted
- !Total cost understated by licence-only comparison
- !No auditable trail behind a multi-year commitment
Managed state
How we solve it
Weighted requirements and scoring rules are fixed before any vendor is contacted. Scripted scenarios replace open demonstrations, and every score carries written evidence.
- ✓Weighted requirement set signed off pre-market
- ✓Scripted scenario testing with recorded outcomes
- ✓Five-year TCO model including integration and exit
