Technical evaluation review

Submit trial evidence for an independent decision before completing the technical evaluation.

Step by step

  1. Prepare evaluation evidence Relationship Owner

    Relationship Owner records the environment, trial end, active seats and security review against the opportunity. Check the organization and current evaluation revision, and attach the files needed to explain the evidence.

    • Prepare Draft evidence for the named opportunity
    • Updates Technical evaluations, Opportunities, Record attachments
  2. Submit for review Relationship Owner

    Relationship Owner requests the move from Draft to Submitted. The action checks actor, organization and revision before recording its operation outcome. Keep the submitted evidence identifiable throughout the review.

    • Move Draft to Submitted for the checked revision
    • Updates Technical evaluations, Operation receipts
  3. Decide the evaluation Sales Manager

    Sales Manager independently approves, rejects or returns the submitted revision. Approval permits the evaluation to proceed; a rejection or return requires the owner to resolve the reviewer's findings through the agreed correction path.

    • Record the independent review outcome
    • Updates Technical evaluations, Operation receipts
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  4. Complete approved work Relationship Owner

    Relationship Owner requests completion only for an Approved evaluation. Preserve the reviewed evidence and operation history. Completed describes the evaluation result and does not itself decide the opportunity's commercial outcome.

    • Move Approved to Completed
    • Updates Technical evaluations, Operation receipts

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The active-seat observation has no agreed meaning. Define how the team measures it before using it in the decision.
  • The security review needs clarification. Return the work with an explanation the owner can act on.
  • Evaluation completion is treated as a customer purchase. Review acceptance or loss evidence separately before closing the opportunity.
