Choose the operating model behind the proposal.
Vendor selection is not only a comparison of logos or rate cards. Compare who makes technical decisions, how risk is controlled, what evidence is delivered, and who can operate the system when the engagement ends.
Test the claims in the context of your program.
Delivery models vary by office, team, contract, and scope. These pages describe useful buyer questions and The Algorithm's stated approach. Ask every shortlisted provider for named people, relevant evidence, commercial terms, and acceptance criteria.
Look beyond headline capacity.
- Senior engineering accountability
- Architecture and regulatory control
- Production milestones and acceptance
- Source code, documentation, and exit rights
- Operational readiness and knowledge transfer
A consistent diligence framework.
