Questions before you start

Questions we get before the first call. If yours is not here, ask us on the call.

Can MercatIQ help if I do not know the vendors yet?

Yes. You can start with what you need, even without a shortlist. MercatIQ researches relevant vendor options, organizes them into a comparison, and helps you see which ones are worth evaluating further.

Can I use MercatIQ if I already have vendors in mind?

Yes. Add the vendors you already know and compare them side by side. MercatIQ researches each option, structures the criteria, shows trade-offs, and identifies the best fit for your requirements.

Is this only a vendor comparison template?

No. MercatIQ is not just a template. It helps with research, shortlist building, comparison, trade-off analysis, scoring, and recommendation, moving you from scattered vendor research to a clearer evaluation.

Can I trust the recommendation?

The recommendation is based on the requirements, criteria, and weights you set, and on the research evidence gathered for each option. MercatIQ shows the reasoning behind every score, so your team can review the trade-offs, challenge the result, and decide with the evidence in front of you.

What happens on the demo?

We look at a real vendor decision you are working on. You see how MercatIQ researches the options, structures the criteria, and builds the comparison, on your decision, not a canned example. If it fits, we set up your workspace after the call.

Can MercatIQ handle suppliers, not just software vendors?

Yes. MercatIQ evaluates suppliers, service providers, hardware, and software with the same process: research the options, define the criteria, compare with evidence, and get a best-fit recommendation.
