Capability model
The operating capabilities that make the outcome repeatable.
Each capability is designed around accountable work, connected systems and measurable execution—not a disconnected feature list.
Architecture requirements
Define systems, data, identity, events and external dependencies.
Governance requirements
Set access, change, compliance and evidence expectations.
Delivery requirements
Specify discovery, UAT, training, support and SLA needs.
Operating model
Move from capability to controlled execution.
The delivery path keeps business ownership visible from design through operation. Final scope depends on the agreed platform, provider, integrations and enterprise agreement.
- 01
Frame
Agree the business outcome and operating problem.
- 02
Evidence
Ask each provider to prove the same representative scenarios.
- 03
Score
Separate capability, delivery confidence, risk and cost.
- 04
Contract
Carry assumptions and responsibilities into written scope.
Enterprise guardrails
Control belongs inside the operating design.
1
Named competitor facts require current official sources
2
Unknowns are not scored as failures
3
Commercial comparisons separate platform and external costs
Meta approvals, policies, messaging delivery and provider-controlled infrastructure remain external dependencies unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.
Buyer questions
Clarify the operating reality before commitment.
Should price be the first filter?+
Price matters, but it should be compared after scope, limits, implementation, support and external charges are understood.
Who should participate in selection?+
Include the business owner, operations, IT, security or compliance where relevant, procurement and the people responsible for adoption.
