- Your evaluation criteria and weightings
What you get back
- A scored evaluation per risk with the reasoning shown
- A ranked comparison ready for a decision paper
Why this is expensive by hand
Evaluating the risk universe in scope fairly means applying identical criteria to submissions that arrive in wildly different formats. Defensible supplier selection is the typical trigger — score every risk on the same weighted criteria, with the rationale recorded. Get it right and the conclusion holds up in the room; get it rushed and it gets picked apart. Either way it costs roughly 1–2 hours of experienced attention.
How this Skill produces it
As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces a scored evaluation per risk with the reasoning shown plus a ranked comparison ready for a decision paper. What sits between input and output is the codified method: thresholds, sequencing and the points where a human confirms a call — all of it visible and editable in the Skill. The practical effect: 1–2 hours of manual work becomes a ~5 minutes run, held to an identical standard on the tenth engagement as on the first.
Who it's for
- Procurement and category managers
- Third-party risk and vendor management teams
- Bid and proposal teams
- Consultants running sourcing exercises
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Vendor Risk & Onboarding Engine 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.
