VENDOR COMPARISON
Decision: Select a project management tool
Weights are normalized by their sum (100). Scores range from 0 to 5. Top weighted result: Example C. A tie does not establish preference. Year-one cost = 12 × monthly price + setup fee.

Due diligence: verify security/access requirements, export formats, cancellation terms, support availability and current prices. Record a source for each rating. Repeat with alternative weights before selecting.

Known constraints: Confirm export rights, seat counts and cancellation terms before purchase. A high score cannot override a mandatory security requirement.
