Hypothetical example
Put the decision in context.
A store quote excludes product variants and shipping rules. Add those operational requirements before comparing it with a complete checkout build.
Take these points into your brief.
Use this checklist to record what is agreed and what still needs confirmation.
- Products and variants
- Payment, delivery and integrations
- Recurring fees and onboarding dependencies
For each item, keep the requirement, the supporting file or observation, and the person responsible for confirming it together.
Compare scope and costs: your next step
Ask each supplier to respond to the same written scope, with inclusions, exclusions and optional work identified. Keep one-time work separate from recurring charges and third-party costs. Where a price depends on inspection or eligibility, record that dependency. Compare the total agreed work and responsibilities before choosing a proposal; the lowest headline figure may describe a different deliverable.
