Scorecard build
Facilitated sessions with your stakeholders translate business-functional requirements into a weighted scoring model. The scorecard is never shared with vendors — it stays internal for the life of the process.
Pinpoint builds the scoring model, runs the RFP, and stress-tests every finalist against your own environment — then hands you a weighted, normalized score. You still make the call.
The scoring model gets built and weighted before any vendor presents. Must-haves carry more weight than nice-to-haves, so polish on the demo floor can't cover a missing capability that would fail your actual environment.
Facilitated sessions with your stakeholders translate business-functional requirements into a weighted scoring model. The scorecard is never shared with vendors — it stays internal for the life of the process.
A questionnaire mapped directly to the scoring matrix. Every response maps to a specific weighted score category, so every vendor is judged on the same axis.
Typically 8–10 vendors make the first round based on RFP scoring, narrowed to 2–3 finalists who move to proof of technology.
Finalists solve 2–3 scenarios drawn from your actual operations. A vendor that can't handle a scenario is flagged for disqualification, not scored around.
Financial stability, licensing terms, and patch/hotfix cadence get checked before contract — not discovered after signature.
You get the raw RFP responses from every vendor plus a normalized, weighted score. Pinpoint doesn't tell you who wins.
"You still need to do the hiking. We're the trail guide — we get you through procurement and integration hurdles most internal teams can't navigate alone, but the decision at the end is yours."— Ty Burger, CEO, Pinpoint Systems
14 checkpoints across capability weighting, proof of technology, due diligence, and decision-maker alignment. Check what's already true about your process — see where it's exposed before you sign.
A weighted scorecard, the raw RFP responses from every vendor evaluated, proof-of-technology results against your own scenarios, and a due diligence report covering financial stability, licensing terms, and patch cadence.
No. Pinpoint acts as an impartial third party — we build the scoring model, run the process, and hand back the data. Your team makes the final call.
A full RFI-to-downselect cycle typically runs 20–26 weeks depending on scope, with roughly a third of that time spent on proposal evaluation.
An implementation partner helps you build on a platform you've already chosen. Pinpoint runs the process that chooses it, before you're committed to an ecosystem.
