A $20,000 decision
deserves a $20,000 process.

VendorCue.ai produces one thing: a complete, independent Vendor Intelligence Report that tells you which agency on your shortlist is most likely to perform for your company specifically — and why.

One engagement. One deliverable. Priced at $20,000. Invoiced on delivery.

Flat fee · Invoiced on delivery · Net 30

Every VendorCue.ai engagement includes:

A complete scored assessment of every agency on your shortlist

Up to five agencies evaluated across all five evidence layers. Every score documented with explicit evidence — not opinion.

A complete hiring playbook

The key questions to ask each shortlisted agency, what to disclose in your briefing, early warning signals for months 1–3, contract and scope guidance, and a final presentation scoring rubric.

An honest alternatives assessment

If none of the agencies on your shortlist are the right fit, we tell you — and we tell you what kind of agency you should be evaluating instead.

An Engagement Brief signed before research begins

A documented summary of your situation, your requirements, and the scope of the evaluation — confirmed by both parties before a single agency is assessed.

The Process

Four steps. Five to ten business days.

From the moment you submit a request, the entire engagement is structured around evidence and confirmation. Nothing happens without a documented scope.

1

You request a report

Tell us who you're evaluating, where you are in the process, and what you need. Five minutes via the request form.

2

We confirm scope

Within one business day, we schedule a 30-minute scoping call. We confirm the agencies, your context, and what success looks like.

3

We produce and you sign the Engagement Brief

Within 48 hours of the scoping call, we send a VendorCue Engagement Brief summarizing your situation and the evaluation scope. You review, confirm, and sign. Research begins when the brief is signed.

4

Report delivered. Invoice issued.

Your complete Vendor Intelligence Report is delivered as a PDF and editable Word document within 7–10 business days of the signed brief. We invoice on delivery. Payment is due within 30 days.
