A neutral decision process that tests real workloads instead of choosing from marketing claims.

Provider choice is a revisitable evidence decision based on representative work, operational fit, and portability.

What this shows

Provider selection starts with workload outcomes and constraints. Candidate capabilities are mapped using current documentation, representative tasks are evaluated on quality, safety, latency, cost, operations, and portability, and the decision is recorded with a review date.

Carry this forward

Key takeaways

  • Start from the workload and constraints, not a preferred vendor.
  • Evaluate representative tasks across quality, safety, cost, latency, and operations.
  • Record assumptions and a review date because provider capabilities change.
