Excerpt from this page. Supporting evidence and qualifications follow below.
  • The weights and thresholds have not been empirically validated against service outcomes.
  • No provider proposals, contracts, demonstrations or assurance reports were supplied, so all worksheet entries remain unscored.
  • Sector-specific legal and operational gates require the buyer's own accountable reviewers.
  • Inter-rater calibration and buyer usability testing would strengthen the scorecard before wider deployment.
