FAQ

Vendor Assessment questions

How long does a vendor assessment take?
Delivery depends on the scope the diagnostic establishes: focused snapshots are typically delivered within 24 hours, strategic analyses within 48 hours, and broader multi-entity studies within three to five business days. Expedited and priority turnaround are available.
What does a vendor assessment cost?
Prices are quoted after the diagnostic and start at $750 for a focused executive snapshot. Broader scope, more entities, deeper quantitative work and faster turnaround increase the price. You see the exact, fixed price before paying.
Where does the information come from?
From current web research against a registered source list — government, regulatory, filings, company sources, official databases, research organizations, industry sources and high-quality publications — plus any documents you upload. Every material claim is cited to a registered source.
Can I include my own data?
Yes. You can upload PDF, CSV, XLSX, DOCX, TXT or JSON files during the diagnostic. They are stored privately, used only for your report, and expire on a defined retention schedule.
