design a technical evaluation with coverage, demos, proof of concept, and references.
Planned topics
- Fix the scorecard and weights before reading responses.
- Layers: written coverage of requirements, scripted demos against Larkspur scenarios, proof of concept for the riskiest unknowns, reference calls.
- Scripted demos stop vendors from showing only their strengths.
- Evidence beats claims: score what was shown, not what was promised.
- Record scores with notes so the decision can be explained and defended.
