# Process discovery buyer checklist

Use the same bounded workflow when comparing suppliers. “Not demonstrated” is different from “unsupported.” Record observed evidence rather than relying on a score without a definition.

People participating:

| Question | Evidence shown | Open question / follow-up owner |
|---|---|---|
| Can the vendor reconstruct a relevant case across the required sources? | | |
| Can we inspect the source behind a finding? | | |
| Are uncertain record links and missing facts visible? | | |
| Can a practitioner explain a specific exception? | | |
| Is observed behavior distinct from the intended rule? | | |
| Can the accountable owner review that rule? | | |
| What actual artifact does the developer receive? | | |
| Which evidence-access interfaces and output formats are available? | | |
| Can we inspect candidate eval inputs and expectations? | | |
| What work is required to use the output in our runner? | | |
| What happens when a source or rule changes? | | |
| What customer effort and preparation does the proposed timing assume? | | |
| What is included in the proposed scope and commercial terms? | | |
| Which access, processing and retention arrangements apply? | | |
