Many open questions. Get the missing answers in writing before you sign anything.

Run StepTo through your list

Bring the rows you could not tick to a 15-minute call, or start from the terms we publish.

How should you use the scorecard?

Tick a row only when the answer is in writing: on the vendor's site, in the proposal or in the contract. A yes you heard on a call is a question still open. The score is a prompt for what to ask next, not a verdict on a vendor.

The optional StepTo column shows our answer where we publish one, and says so plainly where we do not. For the terms behind it, see the pricing page and the staff augmentation page. For a longer comparison framework, read how to evaluate a nearshore software company, and to turn the answers into a brief, use the software RFP template.
