How scoring works

Each answer scores 1–5. Dimension scores average within that theme. Overall level = rounded average across all questions (Level 1–5).

  1. 1
    Lower scores mark gaps for the 90-day plan.
  2. 2
    Dimension bars show whether risk concentrates (e.g. security vs strategy).
  3. 3
    Planning aid only — not a certification or regulatory attestation.

FAQ

How does the Vendor RFP Score score work?

Each answer maps to a numeric score. We average scores into an overall level or stage and, when available, dimension breakdowns. Scoring rules are explained on the page — not a black box.

Should I answer aspirationally or honestly?

Answer how the organization works today. Honest answers produce a useful 90-day plan; aspirational answers inflate maturity and hide risk.
