Evaluation framework
What a useful shortlist must prove.
These checks keep the desk useful before enough comparable, source-backed products are ready for a ranked recommendation.
- 01Time to production
Measure the complete path from setup to a dependable production release, not the speed of a demo.
- 02Integration depth
Verify that required APIs, data stores, identity systems, and deployment targets work without fragile glue code.
- 03Operational ownership
Understand who handles security, scaling, incident response, backups, and upgrades after launch.
- 04Exit cost
Check whether code, data, configuration, and workflows can move elsewhere without a full rebuild.
The job, intent, scope, and evaluation criteria are defined for this category.
Pricing, product constraints, buyer outcomes, and dated traction must be reviewed on the same basis.
A ranked recommendation appears only when the evidence supports a meaningful comparison.
