# Vendor Evaluation Skill Produces a structured vendor evaluation framework — from defining criteria through to a scored comparison and recommendation. ## Required Inputs - **What you are procuring** - **Vendors being evaluated** (minimum 2) - **Key decision criteria** (if known) - **Decision makers** - **Budget range** - **Timeline to decide** ## Output Structure ### 1. Evaluation Criteria and Weights | Category | Weight | Rationale | |---|---|---| | Functional fit | [%] | Does it do what we need? | | Commercial terms | [%] | Price, flexibility, payment | | Implementation | [%] | How hard to get started? | | Support and SLA | [%] | What happens when things go wrong? | | Security and compliance | [%] | Meets regulatory requirements? | | Vendor stability | [%] | Will this company exist in 3 years? | | References | [%] | Who else uses this? | Weights must total 100%. ### 2. Scoring Rubric - 5: Exceeds requirements — clear best-in-class - 4: Meets requirements — fully satisfies with minor gaps - 3: Partially meets — notable gaps requiring workarounds - 2: Significant gaps — would require workarounds - 1: Does not meet — cannot satisfy requirement ### 3.

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
