How to use Vendor Evaluation in your AI agent

What you'll get

This skill helps you run a structured vendor evaluation process — the kind PMs and ops teams use when choosing software, services, or suppliers. You give it what you're buying and who you're considering, and it builds a scoring framework with weighted criteria, gives you questions to ask each vendor, and delivers a recommendation with risks and negotiation points. Perfect for making procurement decisions systematic instead of gut-feel.
