Abstract: Techniques for evaluating ability of multiple vendors to meet one or more requirements may include receiving information regarding items to be acquired (e.g., enterprise requirements, item requirements, relative importance data, etc.) and items available for purchase (e.g., data regarding items and their capabilities/characteristics available from multiple different vendors), ranking the vendors, and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) including a slider usable to evaluate performance level verses total cost of acquiring items from individual vendors. Based on user input changing a position of the slider, the system may be configured to automatically update the GUI to display changes to the ranking of the plurality of vendors based on receiving the user input changing the position of the slider control.
