Attribute 
Cost Interoperability 
Long term relationship Deployment readiness Build Quality
1 over market price proprietary standards, risk of vendor lock-in cannot reliably communicate, needs aggressive follow up and management 
timeline unclear or unknown 
Questionable may need replacement anytime or unknown durability 
3 close to or exactly at market price use some open and proprietary standards 
can communicate reliably but needs incentives to do so 
timeline is known but is volatile or longer than what is needed 
Acceptable could last 2 to 3 years 
5 under market price fully using open standards communicates reliably and incentives are already aligned 
timeline is known and predictable or within acceptable duration Durable can last 3 years or more
