🧭 How to use this

Set your evaluation criteria and weights once, before demos start β€” this keeps scoring objective and defensible when you present the final recommendation.

Context this framework assumes: a small, growing sales + CS team, Salesforce ruled out. Shortlist finalized to Reevo, Attio and Copper β€” weights below are pre-set for that profile, adjust freely.
