How does the vendor selector work?

Move the seven criterion weights to match your priorities. Every vendor's sub-scores are held constant — only your weighting changes — so the ranking you see is a transparent recomputation, not a different dataset.

Can I share or cite my result?

Yes. The selector encodes your weights in the page URL, so copying the link reproduces the exact ranking for anyone who opens it — usable as a citation in a build-versus-buy memo or a procurement recommendation.

Does the site's default ranking use these weights?

Yes. The default position of every slider is the published integrator weighting for rubric v1.0. Any deviation you make is yours, and the page tells you when your weighting produces a different leader.

Why do the weights have to total 100?

They do not have to. Weights are normalised, so you can express relative importance freely; the arithmetic divides each weight by the total before scoring.

Vendor selector: rescore every vendor on your own weights

A ranking is a weighting plus arithmetic. Change the weighting and this page shows you exactly what changes — then gives you a link you can cite.

Short answer

How do I choose a clinical documentation vendor for my own priorities?

Set the importance of each of the seven criteria below. Vendor sub-scores stay fixed — they come from published documentation — and only your weighting changes, so the result is reproducible arithmetic rather than a different opinion. Under your current weighting, Twofold leads at 8.9/10.

How to use this in a real decision

A selector output is evidence in a memo, not a decision by itself.

Set weights with the people who will own the integration, not only the buyer.
Copy the report link into your build-versus-buy memo so reviewers can see the assumptions.
Shortlist the top two or three, then verify the disclosed facts on each vendor profile yourself.
Run your own accuracy test on de-identified audio before signing — no published score substitutes for it.
