— USE CASES

What people use Vendor due-diligence questionnaire for

New vendor onboarding

Apply the same diligence questionnaire and scoring to every supplier before they are approved.

Third-party risk reviews

Re-assess existing vendors on the same basis so ratings are comparable across the portfolio.

Contract conditioning

Get the specific conditions to attach to the contract, derived from the risk band.

What it works from

  • The diligence questionnaire responses
  • Your scoring bands and weightings
  • Any category-specific requirements

What you get back

  • A banded risk rating with deterministic scoring
  • Specific contractual conditions to attach
  • A comparable record across every vendor assessed

— HOW IT BEHAVES

How Vendor due-diligence questionnaire produces its result

The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.

Deterministic scoring

Scores come from a fixed scoring form rather than model judgement, which is what makes results comparable across submissions.

Composed as work product

Findings are written up as a document that reads like professional output rather than raw model text.

Criteria-based analysis

Material is assessed against explicit criteria you control, so the same standard is applied on every run.

Grounded in your own material

The run works from documents and data you supply, so conclusions are anchored to your evidence rather than to general model knowledge.

Why this is expensive by hand

Vendor onboarding decisions get made on a phone call and documented afterwards. New vendor onboarding is the typical trigger — apply the same diligence questionnaire and scoring to every supplier before they are approved. Done properly it is defensible; done at pace it becomes a judgement call nobody can retrace. And "properly" usually means 2–3 days of manual work.

How this Skill produces it

As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces a banded risk rating with deterministic scoring plus specific contractual conditions to attach. The judgement is built in — how items are broken up, what standard they are held to, and where the run stops for a human review. Net effect: 2–3 days down to ~10 minutes, no drift between runs, and every conclusion traceable back to the evidence behind it.

Who it's for

  • Independent consultants codifying their own methodology
  • Strategy and transformation teams standardising delivery
  • Internal advisory functions under pressure to produce faster
  • Operators who need defensible output, not a one-off chat answer

Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere

Vendor due-diligence questionnaire exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
