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

  1. 1
    Describe the decision

    Say what you are choosing and Consense proposes the vendors, criteria and constraints. You edit and confirm.

  2. 2
    Upload the proposals

    PDF or Word. Whole documents are indexed by page, not truncated.

  3. 3
    Weight your criteria

    Cost 30%, security 25%, integration 20%. The ranking is computed from your weights in code, not by an AI.

  4. 4
    Read 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

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.
