Score them before
you sign them.

Nine weighted criteria. One verdict. Sharper than a sales call, faster than your procurement deck.

§ 01 — Inputs

Score by weight,
not by gut.

§ 03Method

Weights, not feelings.

01

Lock weights first

Decide what matters before you score. Adjusting weights mid-evaluation = bias.
02

Score 1-5, not 1-10

Coarser scales fight false precision. The difference between a 7 and an 8 is noise.
03

Read by category

Total score lies. Category scores tell you where the risk concentrates.
04

Negotiate the weak spots

Anything ≤ 2 becomes a contract clause: SLA, security audit, financial transparency.
WANT · DEEP · DILIGENCE

We'll audit the vendor for you.

Drexus pods run vendor-evaluation sprints — code review, SOC-2 review, reference calls, and the contract negotiation. You ship faster with less risk.
