Due Diligence & Vendor Assessment

Independent, decision-ready assessments of technology vendors and solution proposals – tailored for procurement, investment, partnerships, and risk governance. We combine evidence-based analysis with practical recommendations so you can select, negotiate, and onboard with confidence.

  • Vendor capability: product maturity, roadmap credibility, delivery track record
  • Security & compliance: controls, data handling, certifications, regulatory fit
  • Technology fit: architecture, integration effort, performance, scalability
  • Operational risk: SLAs, support model, implementation approach, dependencies
  • Commercials: pricing logic, TCO, licensing, contractual red flags

What you get

  • Executive brief with a clear recommendation (go / no-go / conditions)

How we work

  1. Scope & criteria – define decision context and evaluation framework
  2. Evidence collection – docs review, demos, stakeholder and vendor interviews
  3. Assessment – validate claims, test assumptions, identify risks
  4. Decision package – findings, options, and negotiation-ready actions

Typical turnaround ranges from 2–6 weeks, depending on scope and vendor responsiveness.
