# Vendor Scorecard

Vendor ratings against RFP criteria with technical evaluation and TCO analysis.

## Expected Artifacts

- **Vendor ratings** -- each vendor scored against every RFP criterion using pre-defined methodology
- **Technical evaluation** -- proof-of-concept results, reference checks, and architecture compatibility
- **Total cost of ownership** -- licensing, implementation, integration, training, and ongoing maintenance
- **Comparative ranking** -- vendors ranked with scoring consistency validated

## Quality Signals

- All vendors are rated against the same criteria using consistent methodology
- Technical evaluations include proof-of-concept results and reference feedback
- TCO covers all cost dimensions, not just licensing
- Scoring consistency is validated across vendors
