Compare Two Vendor Proposals Before A Decision Meeting
Two proposals, forty pages between them, and a decision meeting in an hour where someone will ask about the exit clause you have not read yet. This pulls out cost, timeline, and contract terms into one table and flags anything that needs legal's attention before you walk in.
