This handles structured vendor evaluations when you're deciding whether to sign, renew, or walk away from a contract. It breaks down total cost of ownership beyond sticker price (implementation, training, exit costs), runs a risk assessment on things like vendor lock-in and financial stability, and gives you a comparison matrix if you're weighing multiple options. The output is formatted for procurement sign-off, with negotiation leverage points included. Most useful when you have a proposal document to upload or concrete contract terms to analyze, since it can pull pricing and SLAs directly from PDFs and build a three-year TCO breakdown.
