The Evaluation tab and Nvelop Chat
What this module covers
The Evaluation tab's five sub-sections - Team Feedback, Solution, Price, Contract, and Summary - plus the built-in Nvelop Chat for AI-powered proposal comparison.
Why this matters
This is where subjective conversations about which proposal seemed better turn into a documented, defensible decision - the score, the ranking, and the AI-assisted comparison are all part of the audit trail for why a vendor was chosen.

Vendor scorecards
Each vendor gets a scorecard: a numeric Score and a Ranking (example: one vendor scored 217 and ranked 1st; another scored 211), broken down visually across Price, Solution, and Terms and Conditions.

Nvelop Chat analysis
The Nvelop Chat panel sits alongside the scorecards. Ask it to analyze or compare vendors on a specific dimension (example prompt: 'Give me an analysis of the marketing automation features of these solutions') and it returns a structured, cited comparison - citing specific requirement IDs from your RFX rather than a generic summary.
FAQ
Common questions
1What does the AI comparison actually cite?+
Specific requirement IDs from your own RFX - so if it flags a gap, you can trace it back to the exact requirement that was not fully met.
2What is scored in the Evaluation tab?+
Price, Solution, and Terms and Conditions, rolled into an overall numeric score and ranking per vendor.
