SocraticFlow Vendor Selection Memo
Pick the vendor you can defend, not just the cheapest one.Most vendor comparisons come down to a spreadsheet with a lowest-price column highlighted in green. This tool builds a weighted comparison instead, one that accounts for capability, support, risk, and total cost of ownership over a multi-year horizon, and exports a memo you can put in front of a procurement committee.What you get:Weighted scoring across up to four vendors and six customisable criteria, with automatic normalisationA three-year total cost of ownership breakdown across five cost lines per vendorA per-vendor risk register, so risk is assessed alongside price rather than as an afterthoughtA risk-adjusted ranking with a clear verdict: whether the recommendation is a clear winner or a close call worth escalatingA four-page, audit-ready memo PDF with an embedded decision recordWho it is for:Procurement leads, IT managers, PMO staff, and anyone who has to justify a vendor selection to finance or leadership beyond "they were the cheapest quote." If your last vendor decision was challenged after the fact, this is built for that exact problem.How it works:Everything runs in your browser. Your vendor data is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
