Vendor due diligence for software decisions

Go / No-Go vendor decisions backed by evidence.

EvidenceOps replaces the missing internal research analyst for software and vendor decisions. You get a short decision brief, a traceable evidence sheet, and the next checks required to defend the recommendation internally.

What gets solved

The work is not collecting more facts. It is knowing which facts decide the risk.

Budget exposure

Seat growth, plan limits, add-ons, and renewal exposure are pulled out of the pricing page and made decision-relevant.

Control fit

SSO, audit logs, SCIM, admin roles, and export paths are checked against the rollout your team actually needs.

Internal defensibility

Claims, contradictions, source quality, and open questions become a recommendation people can challenge and still understand.

Decision brief

Built for the internal review moment.

Short enough to circulate. Structured enough to answer the first objections from finance, operations, procurement, and technical reviewers.

Method

A repeatable review system, not open-ended consulting.

01

Decision frame

Vendor, use case, budget, must-haves, deadline, known concerns.

02

Evidence pull

Pricing, docs, trust center, DPA/privacy, terms, status, external signals.

03

Claim ledger

Source quality, confidence, impact, likelihood, contradictions, follow-up need.

04

Verdict brief

Decision, reasons, risk frame, unresolved questions, verification queue.

Trust boundaries

Clear scope makes the recommendation more credible.

Inside scope

Decision support, evidence mapping, risk framing, verification queue.

Outside scope

Legal advice, security certification, penetration testing, contract redlining.

Clock starts

After scope confirmation and receipt of required inputs.

Source base

Public sources plus customer- or vendor-provided documents.

Fit
