Choose Software With Evidence.

Decision Bench turns a software purchase into a structured evaluation: requirements weighted by your team, vendors scored against them with evidence, total cost compared over years, and a clear recommendation leadership can sign off.

Engineered for Confident Buying Decisions.

USE CASE A

Requirements Your Team Agrees On

The problem

Every department wants something different, and the loudest voice decides what matters. Requirements change halfway through the evaluation, and vendors end up judged against different lists.

The solution

Stakeholders weight must have and nice to have requirements together, so the scoring criteria are agreed before any vendor is seen. Every requirement is recorded with who asked for it and why, and the list is locked before scoring begins.

The outcome

A shared scorecard instead of competing opinions. Every vendor judged against the same agreed list.

USE CASE B

Proposals Read and Compared

The problem

Vendor proposals arrive as long PDFs in different formats, and comparing them line by line takes weeks. Sales demos hide gaps that only appear after the contract is signed.

The solution

AI reads each proposal, maps every claim to your requirements, and flags gaps, vague answers and missing prices. Each score is shown with the passage from the proposal behind it, so reviewers can check it in seconds.

The outcome

Like for like comparison, with the evidence linked to each score. Weeks of reading reduced to days.

USE CASE C

The Real Cost, Not the Quote

The problem

Licence prices get compared while implementation, training, integrations and renewals are discovered after signing. The cheapest quote often turns out to be the most expensive over the life of the contract.

The solution

Total cost of ownership is modelled over three to five years, including setup, add ons and expected price increases. Vendors are compared side by side on the full cost, so hidden extras are visible before the decision.

The outcome

A recommendation leadership can defend. No surprise costs after signing.
