Scientific Equipment Source Evaluation Scorecard

Weight the evidence that controls a sourcing decision instead of allowing the lowest total price or strongest brand name to dominate the award.

Open Technical RFQ Review Quote Evaluation

Score one proposed source or quotation

Set the importance weight and evidence score for each criterion. The model calculates a weighted readiness score and separately reports critical red flags. A high total does not erase a failed mandatory requirement.

Criterion	Why it matters	Weight	Evidence score
Technical fit	Mandatory performance, interfaces and operating environment		0
Technical evidence	Current data sheets, manuals, test information and documented deviations		0
Channel clarity	Seller of record, territory, warranty and support path verified in writing		0
Documentation	Calibration, traceability, certificates, validation and quality records		0
Lifecycle support	Service, calibration, spares, software and obsolescence path		0
Delivery credibility	Configuration-specific lead time, logistics and required-on-site plan		0
Commercial completeness	Price, accessories, services, freight, taxes, terms and exclusions normalized		0
Risk closure	Open assumptions, deviations and approval owners are visible and assigned		0

Critical red flags

Mandatory technical requirement not met Seller or warranty path not verified Required calibration or documentation missing Unapproved substitution or deviation Delivery promise not configuration-specific

How to interpret the result

80–100: evidence is relatively mature, but critical red flags still require closure. 60–79: potentially viable, with material evidence or commercial gaps. Below 60: do not treat the source as award-ready. The model is intentionally conservative: a failed mandatory requirement remains visible even when other criteria score well.

Use the summary in a sourcing review, deviation matrix or RFQ clarification. Do not send supplier-confidential pricing or personal data into the browser tool. The calculation runs in your browser and the entered scoring values are not used for site analytics.

Decision boundary: The scorecard structures evidence review. It does not approve a supplier, verify a quotation, perform due diligence or replace the buyer’s authorized technical, quality, procurement, legal or finance decisions.
