Apex supplied the security evidence, but we still do not have a firm exit-export timeline.
Vendor Selection & Due Diligence
Compare the vendors. Leave with a defensible selection.
Requirements, comparable evidence, total cost, implementation realities, and unresolved risks stay visible while the authorized buyer makes the selection.
Just talk. BigWow keeps up. No special commands or constant note-taking. Have the conversation you were already going to have.

How the template helps
A fair comparison that informs—but never substitutes for—the buyer’s decision.
The template separates evaluation readiness from selection authority and keeps unknowns visible.
What the team leaves with
A vendor decision people can explain and execute.
Requirements, sources, tradeoffs, unresolved risks, selection rationale, contract conditions, and transition work stay together.
