Our Process
Six-Stage Selection Process
Requirements Definition
Structured elicitation of functional, non-functional, and commercial requirements across all stakeholder groups. We translate business objectives into a technically precise requirements specification.
Market Landscape Analysis
Independent analysis of the payments technology vendor landscape — including authorisation platforms, switching solutions, fraud management systems, and digital payments infrastructure.
RFI / RFP Development
Development of technically rigorous RFI and RFP documents that elicit meaningful, comparable responses. We include scenario-based questions that reveal real platform capabilities.
Vendor Evaluation
Structured evaluation framework with weighted scoring across functional fit, technical architecture, implementation approach, commercial model, and vendor stability.
Proof of Concept
Design and facilitation of proof-of-concept exercises for shortlisted vendors — including test scenario definition, execution oversight, and results analysis.
Contract & Commercial Advisory
Commercial negotiation support, contract review, SLA framework design, and implementation partner selection. We protect your interests through to contract signature.
