Vendor Quote Evaluator

You have a quote in hand from a software/IT vendor — including us, if that's how you got here. Check off what's actually true about it and get a straight read on whether it looks well-scoped or worth a clarifying conversation first.

Check what's actually true about the quote

The quote reflects real understanding of our specific problem, not a generic feature list read back at usThe price is tied to a written scope we could hold them to, not just a numberThey asked clarifying questions before quoting, rather than pricing it sight-unseenThere's a real, specific answer for what handover/ownership looks like after launchThe scope explicitly states what's included and what isn't

Check any that also apply

Priced significantly below every other quote with no explanation for the gapWouldn't put the scope in writing before startingNo clear answer on what handover actually includesFixed price with no scope boundary attached at all

Methodology: the same green-flag/red-flag reasoning published in full on our RFP & Vendor Evaluation Guide, made interactive. This is a structured way to think about a quote, not a scientific prediction — no data about you or the vendor is collected or stored.
