Evaluation tools for compliance-driven procurement.

VPAT Evaluator scores accessibility conformance reports against WCAG standards. HECVAT Evaluator scores vendor security questionnaires against the HECVAT standard. Both deliver standardized, defensible risk scores in minutes — not hours.

Product 1

VPAT® Evaluator

Standardized accessibility risk scoring for Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) and Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs). Built for procurement teams who need a defensible, consistent score — not a chatbot summary.

Score

Rules-based engine

Upload any VPAT or ACR

PDF or DOCX. Our AI engine extracts structured data from any VPAT format — ITI, Section 508, EN 301 549.

WCAG-weighted scoring

Every WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 success criterion is weighted by impact severity. The final 0–100 score reflects real-world accessibility risk, not just count.

Evidence quality assessment

Flags vague, contradictory, or unsupported conformance claims. Catches inflated vendor ratings before they reach procurement decisions.

Risk-tiered next steps

Low, Moderate, High or Critical risk — each tier maps to concrete procurement actions: approve, remediate, escalate, or reject.

Deterministic scoring engine

Rules-based logic, not generative AI. Identical inputs always produce identical outputs — defensible, repeatable, auditable.

Downloadable audit reports

Structured reports document your due diligence: methodology, inputs, score, and recommended actions. Ready for legal, compliance, and procurement files.

VPAT progress comparison

Upload a newer VPAT and compare it against a baseline assessment to track vendor remediation progress over time. Identify which WCAG criteria improved, remained unresolved, or regressed between evaluations — helping determine whether the vendor is actually delivering on promised accessibility fixes.

Product 2

HECVAT Evaluator

Standardized vendor security risk scoring for Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkits (HECVATs). Built for higher education procurement and IT security teams who need a consistent, evidence-based security posture score — not a manual spreadsheet review.

Full HECVAT support

Handles the complete HECVAT workbook including all question categories, rubric assessment, and AI-conditional sections (REQU-04).

Weighted compliance scoring

Each HECVAT control is weighted by security impact. The final 0–100 risk score reflects genuine vendor security posture, not raw response counts.

AI-powered data extraction

AI pre-fills all extracted question responses from uploaded XLSX, PDF, DOCX, or CSV files. Reviewers correct and confirm — not transcribe.

Automatic escalation flags

Critical security control failures are automatically flagged for immediate escalation to Information Security and Legal before any procurement decision.

Rubric quality assessment

Scores the completeness, specificity, and evidence quality of vendor responses — not just whether they answered 'Yes' or 'No'.

Vendor claim scrutiny

Self-reported HECVATs routinely contain inflated or unsubstantiated claims. Our quality layer evaluates plausibility and evidence coverage, not just presence.
