Create a weighted scoring model to evaluate [Vendors] against business use cases [PrimaryUseCases] in [Region]. Apply required standards [MustHaveStandards] and weighting guidance from [WeightingsDoc]. Score each vendor across capability, usability, integrations, implementation approach, roadmap, security/compliance, TCO, and references.
Output format requirements:
A Markdown table “Scorecard” with columns: Criterion | Weight % | Vendor A | Vendor B | Vendor C | Rationale/Notes; 2) A “Threshold Gate” table listing all Must-have criteria and pass/fail per vendor; 3) A ranked shortlist (Top 3) with one-paragraph executive rationale each; 4) A “Risks & Mitigations” table with Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation | Owner. Ensure total weights = 100% and explicitly show weighted totals and final ranks.
