Fast, objective analysis

Using slider-based input, values van be set for specific 'child sliders' that feed into 'parent sliders', so that the rating criteria reflects the position taken in the contract you are assessing.

A tailored solution

Certain elements of the contract are likely to be more important to you than others. The dashboard enables you to alter the weighting of 'child' and 'parent' sliders to align them with your requirements.

Useful reporting

Once you have completed your contract assessment, simply print and save the final contract assessment summary which includes your overall weighted score.
