Vendor Evaluation

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Compare suppliers with weighted scorecards and get a recommendation on who to buy from.

NDA

• Generates mutual or one-way non-disclosure agreements from trusted legal templates
• Fills in company names, dates, and confidentiality purposes automatically
• Creates properly formatted Word documents ready for electronic or printed signatures
• Offers multiple template options from Common Paper and Bonterms standard forms
• Works entirely through natural conversation—no legal knowledge or forms experience needed

Vendor Evaluation

• Creates a weighted scorecard with criteria like functional fit, pricing, implementation difficulty, and vendor stability
• Generates specific questions to ask each vendor about their product, pricing, support, and security
• Scores each vendor against your criteria and calculates a total weighted score
• Delivers a recommendation with the winner, runner-up, key risks, and contract terms to negotiate
• Includes reference check questions to ask existing customers of each vendor
