What is a Decision Sprint?

A Decision Sprint is a focused 4-to-8-week engagement where Deliver Digital facilitates a specific technology decision from evaluation through selection. We manage the RFP process, score vendors objectively, facilitate demos, support negotiation, and ensure your leadership team makes a confident decision backed by evidence rather than sales pitches.

Technology vendor selection is one of the highest-stakes decisions a mid-market organization makes. Get it right, and you have a platform that supports your business for years. Get it wrong, and you are looking at a costly replacement cycle within 18 months. The Decision Sprint exists to de-risk that decision by bringing structured methodology, vendor-neutral evaluation, and decades of technology procurement experience to your table.

What makes your vendor selection process different?

Deliver Digital does not resell technology. We do not take referral fees from vendors. We do not hold vendor certifications that create loyalty. We do not participate in vendor partner programs. Our revenue comes exclusively from advisory fees paid by you, the client.

This is vendor-neutral advisory in its purest form. When we recommend a vendor, it is because that vendor is the best fit for your organization, not because we earn a commission on the sale. In a market where most technology advice comes from firms with a financial interest in the recommendation, this independence is our most important differentiator.

What does a Decision Sprint deliver?

Every Decision Sprint produces five tangible outputs:

  • A vendor evaluation scorecard with weighted criteria aligned to your business requirements.
  • A structured RFP or selection framework that ensures you are comparing vendors on the metrics that matter.
  • Facilitated vendor demonstrations with guided evaluation sessions so your team sees each vendor through the same lens.
  • Negotiation support and contract review to ensure your interests are protected.
  • A recommended path forward with clear rationale that your leadership team can present to the board with confidence.

How much does a Decision Sprint cost?

Decision Sprints range from $20,000 to $75,000 depending on the complexity of the selection and the number of vendors being evaluated. A straightforward selection between 3 vendors sits at the lower end. A complex enterprise platform selection with more vendors, multiple stakeholder groups, and multi-stage evaluation sits at the higher end.
