Requirements & traceability
Capture needs once, trace them through scoring, validation, and the final recommendation.
Flagship system
Modernization Arsenal
A connected suite of decision tools for teams that need to evaluate platforms, control assumptions, surface risk, and brief executives with confidence.
What is included
Six coordinated workbooks. One decision chain.
Each workbook hands evidence to the next, so the final recommendation can be traced back to the requirements, scores, and costs behind it.
- Reusable scoring, traceability, TCO, and roadmap logic
- Built-in guidance, checkpoints, and decision gates
- Generic, vendor-neutral, and designed for adaptation
- Works with the tools your team already uses

Capabilities
Everything a defensible decision needs.
Weighted scoring
Agree weights up front, then score every option the same way with rationale and reviewer controls.
Vendor & demo evidence
Script demonstrations and scenarios, record what was shown, and separate claims from proof.
TCO & risk modeling
Model total cost, internal effort, contingency, and exposure across realistic scenarios.
Executive decision brief
Summarize the recommendation, conditions, dissent, and risks in a format leaders can approve.
Roadmap & benefits
Turn the decision into delivery waves with owners, dependencies, gates, and tracked benefits.
Who it is for
Built for the people who have to stand behind the decision.
Technology leaders
Bring a recommendation to the executive table with the evidence already organized.
Program and procurement teams
Run a consistent, auditable evaluation without rebuilding the process every time.
Advisors and consultants
Adapt a proven, vendor-neutral structure to each client engagement.
Make the next decision count
Your modernization program should be easier to explain, and harder to challenge.
