Evaluation Framework

Eight dimensions, applied uniformly

Use the questions below with every shortlisted vendor. Record the edition, release, evidence, owner and unresolved questions; a missing public claim is not a failed capability.

Data residencyRequest a data-flow map covering primary storage, backups, support access, AI processing and activation destinations.
TenancyIdentify which resources are dedicated or shared and the evidence for isolation.
Billing modelPrice the same workload, growth and retention assumptions; document overages and included entitlements.
ActivationTest one approved destination, consent withdrawal, delivery receipts, retries and external provider costs.
IAM & key custodyInspect operator roles, identity federation, key ownership and emergency/support access.
AI operationsRequire permission boundaries, human approval for consequential actions and testable audit evidence.
Audit & recoveryDemonstrate an access review, a restore and a replay; assign evidence owners.
Change & exitReview release support, upgrade responsibility, export formats and license/termination terms.
