A checklist with automatic scoring to objectively compare any core modernization proposal — yours and the competition's.
Move the sliders — this is how it calculates the actual scorecard, with the 6 categories and their weight, when you download it.
If you're comparing more than one offer, this is for you.
6 categories, each with its weight in the final score
It's not a list of random questions: each answer feeds into a weighted calculation that ends in a verdict.
Scope and responsibility
If the supplier is responsible for the scope, not just the hours.
Government model
Committees, cadences, and boards by layer.
Financial model
How the economic risk of the project is distributed.
Timeline and expectations
Whether the plan is realistic or promises too much.
Continuity
What happens to the knowledge if the relationship ends?.
Evidence and references
Verifiable cases, not just testimonies.
Three steps, one verdict at a traffic light
Answer each question
Scale from 0 to 2: does not comply, partially complies, fully complies.
The score is calculated
Category-weighted score + % of transferred financial risk, separately.
You get the verdict
Move forward, negotiate key points, or not move forward without structural changes.
