# Vendor quote comparison
Use the approved requirements brief and original quotes. Cite the page, sheet, email, or line behind every source value.
## Normalize cost
Choose one comparison term and currency. Show, by vendor:
- recurring unit price, committed quantity, and minimum;
- implementation, migration, training, support, tax, and one-off fees;
- usage assumptions and overage rates;
- discounts, their conditions, and expiry;
- renewal uplift and notice period;
- termination and data-export cost;
- total stated cost and total calculated cost.
Write each formula and label exchange rates or volume assumptions. Do not fill a missing fee with zero.
## Compare coverage
For each must and should, mark `MET WITH EVIDENCE`, `CLAIMED`, `GAP`, or `UNKNOWN`. Keep service, security, legal, implementation, and commercial gaps separate.
## Output
Return the normalized table, assumptions, missing questions, material gaps, and scenarios when cost changes. Never select a vendor. If the user asks for a transparent scoring view, show the weights and source values, then leave the decision to the named approver.
