Response guidance and terms
Response guidance
• To ensure fair, consistent, and objective evaluation across all participants, we request that questions requiring numeric inputs (such as counts, percentages, or ranges) be answered strictly in the specified numeric or selectable format wherever possible.
• For questions that explicitly request descriptive responses, participants are welcome to elaborate on their services and capabilities. The length of such narrative responses will not negatively impact scoring.
• Our intent is not to restrict the level of detail provided, but to enable clear, comparable, and evidence based analysis accross all vendors. Where estimates are required, reasonable approximations or clearly stated ranges are acceptable. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a rigorous, transparent, and unbiased evaluation process.
