A practical evaluation guide

Make the demonstration answer a buying question.

Choose a workflow, bring a representative example, and agree what a useful result looks like. Use the same inputs and review criteria to compare the product with your current process.

A practical evaluation guide

Start with a baseline you can explain.

A credible comparison records how the work is done today, what the evaluation changes, and who reviews the result.

Define the scenario

Describe the starting record, users, decision, and expected output. Include a difficult or incomplete example alongside the normal workflow.

Record the current process

Measure the same task using the current tools. Keep preparation time, processing time, reviewer corrections, and data gaps visible.

Agree acceptance in advance

Choose the measures, sample, pass criteria, reviewers, and permitted data. Record exceptions and the limits of the comparison.

A practical evaluation guide

Keep the evaluation evidence in one record.

Use the same questions and scenario for each product. Record the evidence, result, and owner, then save a separate copy for each evaluation.
