The decision that matters
Give both systems the same evidence set. Assess correction effort, source references, permissions, and how a reviewer rejects a draft rather than merely accepting it.
Start by writing a short description of the work that should improve. Identify the current owner, the input, the expected output, and the person who approves it. Use that description to prevent an attractive demo from quietly changing your buying criteria.
Our recommendation is to prefer demonstrated fit over a long list of advertised features. Where the products cover different jobs, evaluate whether you need one, both, or neither. Adding a second system without a clear record owner can increase reconciliation and maintenance work.
Take these tests into the demo
Sweetspot
Use approved past-performance material to test whether a draft preserves the original facts and cites its evidence.
GovDash
Demonstrate a complete public-solicitation workflow and inspect the review gates before any output is released.
Use synthetic or public information for the initial trial. Introduce a missing field, a wrong assumption, and a correction. Record what happens when a task fails, not just when the ideal example succeeds.
| Evaluation question | Evidence to request |
|---|---|
| Does it solve our actual problem? | A completed representative workflow, not a slide. |
| What is included? | A written plan scope, limits, and add-ons. |
| Can we maintain it? | Named setup responsibilities and recurring tasks. |
| Can we leave? | A usable export and documented closure process. |

- Run the same representative scenario in both products.
- Verify every required feature in the exact quoted plan.
- Review data handling, roles, exports, and account closure.
- Estimate setup effort and weekly administration.
- Record unresolved questions before approving a purchase.
