Who it's for
Ops or procurement leads running a competitive software evaluation with more than one stakeholder weighing in.
Problem
Vendor evaluations tend to happen in someone's head, or across scattered chat threads — different stakeholders weigh criteria differently, and the final choice is hard to defend later.
Transformation
Before: an unstructured comparison that collapses into whoever argues loudest. After: a shared, weighted scorecard the whole buying group scores independently, then reconciles.
How it works
You list the vendors under evaluation, assign a weight to each criterion that matters for your situation, and each stakeholder scores independently before the scores are combined into one ranked view.
What's included
- A weighted scorecard spreadsheet template (criteria × vendor × stakeholder)
- A criteria-weighting worksheet with a worked example
- A one-page evaluation-meeting script for reconciling disagreements
Screenshots
Illustrative only — the real kit would show a filled-in spreadsheet with vendors as columns, weighted criteria as rows, and a computed ranked total.
Illustrative only — the real kit would show how raw importance ratings convert into normalized weights that sum to 100%.
Instructions
- 01List every vendor still in the running.
- 02Agree on criteria as a group, then weight them individually before comparing notes.
- 03Score each vendor against each criterion independently — no group scoring in the first pass.
- 04Combine scores and use the reconciliation script to talk through any criterion where scores diverge sharply.
Examples
- Illustrative scenario, not a real customer result — a 6-person team evaluating three project-management tools uses the kit to turn three separate decision meetings into one.
Bonuses
- Stakeholder alignment checklist
- A short pre-evaluation checklist for agreeing on criteria before anyone starts scoring vendors.
FAQ
Does this replace doing my own research on each vendor?
No — it's a structure for combining research your team has already gathered, not a substitute for gathering it.
Can I use this for more than three vendors?
Yes, the template scales to any number of vendors and stakeholders.
