Vendor evaluation

Everything for the decision that outlives the contract.

A vendor decision is really two decisions: which supplier to choose, and how much dependency to accept after signature. This page collects every free resource on the hub built for both, in the order a real selection uses them.

All of it is free, ungated and scored the same way every time. Score the risk, document the evaluation with weights agreed before anyone has a favourite, prepare the negotiation while you still have alternatives, and price the commitment over its full term rather than its first invoice.

Pressure-test your shortlist

Selected senior operators who have bought, run and exited from the same category can challenge the shortlist before the contract makes their hindsight expensive.
