VendorInterrogator

Enterprise software evaluation still relies on questionnaires, demonstrations, review sites and consulting scorecards. VendorInterrogator converts a buyer-approved requirement set into a controlled interview for a vendor's authorized agent, documentation interface or sales contact, then links each response to supplied proof and a versioned rubric. The research found several manual or consultant-grade frameworks and incumbent review channels, but no managed agent-driven platform matching the proposed loop. An open workflow in the category is not evidence that a managed product will win. Vendor agents and documents are interested-party sources: they can be stale, incomplete, promotional or generated. A successful tool call proves only that a response was returned under a recorded environment. The platform must not probe private systems, bypass access controls or treat unavailable evidence as a failing capability without buyer review. Requirement, question, vendor answer, cited artifact, artifact verification, rubric observation, evaluator disposition, procurement approval, contract, implementation readback and realized outcome remain separate. Signed output protects provenance and later correction; it does not make the contents true, comparable across every product or procurement-certified. Success is a shorter, more reconstructable evaluation with fewer unsupported claims—not autonomous selection or proof of vendor fitness.
