— How it works
From Requirements to Recommendation in Three Steps

Turn complex software selection into a structured evaluation process. Define what matters, assess vendors against consistent criteria, and build a recommendation you can confidently take to stakeholders.

01
Configure Your Evaluation

Choose your software category and vendors. Define your business and technical requirements, then assign weights based on their importance to your organization.

02
Evaluate Vendors with AI

AI assesses vendors against your weighted criteria using available research and evaluation inputs. See scores alongside the reasoning, strengths, limitations, and areas of fit for each vendor.

03
Compare and Build Your Recommendation

Review weighted scorecards, side-by-side comparisons, and vendor insights in one place. Export an executive-ready report with the evidence behind your recommendation.

Our methodology combines your requirements with standardized assessments, independent research, implementation perspectives, industry insights, and verified vendor information. Each source is assigned a defined weight to create a more balanced and transparent evaluation.
