Vendor comparison
Compare vendor proposals with independent AI analysis
Upload the proposals, set what matters, and get a weighted comparison where every claim about a vendor points back to the page it came from.
For: Procurement leads, consultants and operators choosing between vendors.
How it works
- 1Describe the decision
Say what you are choosing and Consense proposes the vendors, criteria and constraints. You edit and confirm.
- 2Upload the proposals
PDF or Word. Whole documents are indexed by page, not truncated.
- 3Weight your criteria
Cost 30%, security 25%, integration 20%. The ranking is computed from your weights in code, not by an AI.
- 4Read the comparison
Each cell is labelled: backed by a verified quotation, an AI assessment, or missing evidence.
What you get
- +A weighted comparison matrix with per-cell provenance
- +Must-have constraints that exclude non-compliant vendors
- +Sensitivity: how much the weights must move to change the leader
- +A PDF report with your branding and the sources cited
Example
| Criterion | Vendor A | Vendor B | Vendor C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total cost (30%) | 7 (Model) | 9 (Source) | 6 (Source) |
| Security (25%) | 8 (Source) | 8 (Source) | 5 (Model) |
| Integration (20%) | 6 (Model) | 7 (Model) | 8 (Source) |
| Weighted score | 7.1 | 8.2 | 6.3 |
Illustrative layout with sample values, not a real analysis.
Scores are AI assessments. Verified labels mean a quotation was found in your document, not that the vendor's claim is true.
