Vendor Evaluation Scorecard Builder

Compare options against your weighted criteria; get a sourced, weighted scorecard and a ranking — as decision input, not the decision.

Build an agent that turns an option comparison into a structured scorecard. It uses Bing Web Search to gather public information on each option, SharePoint to pull your internal evaluation criteria and their weights, and code interpreter to compute a weighted score and rank the options. The result is a transparent scorecard — every criterion, every weight, every score, and the assumptions behind them — that gives a comparison real structure.

This is an autonomous gather → score → rank pattern using XML-tag prompt structure. The tags separate the phases — <gather>, <score>, <rank> — so a multi-tool autonomous flow stays legible and each tool's output is traceable. The defining design decisions are two: keep public vendor claims labeled separately from your internal criteria so unverified marketing never silently inflates a score, and present the ranking as decision input requiring human review, not a purchasing recommendation. Because the agent works autonomously across several steps, its output is a draft for a person to validate. Edge cases cover missing data (mark it, don't guess) and subjective criteria.

This pattern applies anywhere structured, weighted comparison beats gut feel. Common scenarios for this pattern:

• Tool and platform comparisons
• Build-vs-buy input
• Shortlist ranking
• RFP option scoring (non-binding)
• Capability-matrix building
