Identity problems stop the analysis for review
Market Dog flags website, redirect, or identity problems and stops a new analysis until your team reviews the candidate.
Describe the decision in plain language. Market Dog looks for options worth considering and checks the companies behind them. Your team can then compare the shortlist against its own priorities.
You do not need a vendor list or a finished specification to get started.
The idea

Software choices often begin in separate spreadsheets, supplier pages, architecture notes, and AI chats. Requirements change while the shortlist is being built, and important claims lose their source.
Market Dog brings the need, editable criteria, candidate research, open questions, and final human choice into one reviewable study.
Start with that brief, then edit the proposed criteria and candidate list. Every option is reviewed against the same priorities, with the evidence and unknowns kept visible.
What you get
The report connects each option to its offer scope, evidence, unknowns, weighted fit, and supplier findings. Business and technical reviewers work from the same record.
Illustrative product example. Company names, domains, scores, and source counts are fictional.
§1 · Executive summary
Accordia Suite has the strongest weighted fit in this sample because its stated deployment and migration options match the target architecture. Sigilo costs less, but the sample includes security and licensing questions that need review. Ventra is held from further analysis because its website redirects and the offer could not be verified.

Who it helps
Each role can inspect the part of the decision it owns without losing the shared criteria, evidence, and rationale.
Make the budget decision with a shortlist that shows fit, trade-offs, and open questions.
How a study works
The workflow separates what Market Dog proposes from what your reviewers verify, adjust, and approve.
Describe the change, users, and constraints. Review and edit the criteria proposed from your brief.
Add your own candidates or request suggestions. Market Dog records offer, identity, website, and sourced risk findings for review.
Inspect citations, unknowns, confidence, weights, and manual adjustments before accepting the comparison.
Choose the next step, explain the rationale, and export a decision package that others can challenge or revisit.
What the study checks
A ranking is only useful when reviewers can see what supports it, what remains uncertain, and what a person changed.
Market Dog flags website, redirect, or identity problems and stops a new analysis until your team reviews the candidate.
Price may carry more weight in one study. In another, security or deployment may decide the order. You choose what matters.
Sourced security, legal, and ownership events sit beside the evaluation with their date, so reviewers can decide what needs follow-up.
Reviewers can change priorities, override a score with a reason, record the selected solution, and export the result.
Market Dog keeps access, AI use, evidence, and decision ownership explicit throughout the study.
Pricing
Study limits apply to the studies stored in one company workspace. Analysis and export allowances renew monthly.
For a small team preparing its first shortlist.
For teams that run software evaluations throughout the year.
For procurement, architecture, and IT teams managing several studies.
For teams that need negotiated scale and commercial terms.
All limits apply to one company workspace. Archived studies still count toward the stored study limit; permanently deleting a study frees a slot. Monthly analysis and export allowances reset at the start of each UTC month. On paid plans, every accepted workspace member is billed as a seat, and platform AI usage is billed separately at provider cost, with no markup. Public checkout is monthly in USD. If your workspace uses its own AI provider key, that provider bills you directly.
Evaluation questions
Straight answers about control, evidence, and the role of AI.
Yes. Add your own candidate list, edit the proposed criteria, change weights, and add disqualifying requirements.
The study can keep a value unknown and preserve conflicting findings for review. Missing evidence should not become an invented score.
No. AI can suggest candidates, structure research, and help explain a score. A person reviews the evidence and records the final choice.
Every accepted workspace member counts as a seat, regardless of role. Pending invitations do not count until they are accepted.
Start on Free. The current public checkout is monthly and does not include a paid plan trial. Contact us to discuss annual commercial terms.
Your existing studies, evidence, and reports remain in the workspace. If current usage exceeds the new allowance, you cannot increase that usage until it falls below the limit or you upgrade.
