Tell us what you need.
Market Dog builds the study.

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

Replace the scattered shortlist with one decision record.

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.

A useful starting pointWe need to replace our contract tool. It must work in Europe and fit the systems we already use.

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 explains the shortlist.

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.

Proposed next step for human review
Consider taking Accordia Suite and Klarveld CLM into the RFP. Their sample weighted scores are 8.4 and 7.9. Reviewers should confirm the open commercial and technical questions before deciding.

Who it helps

One study, with a useful answer for every reviewer.

Each role can inspect the part of the decision it owns without losing the shared criteria, evidence, and rationale.

For business and transformation teams

Make the budget decision with a shortlist that shows fit, trade-offs, and open questions.

How a study works

Begin with the question that is holding up the decision.

The workflow separates what Market Dog proposes from what your reviewers verify, adjust, and approve.

  1. 1

    Frame the need

    Describe the change, users, and constraints. Review and edit the criteria proposed from your brief.

  2. 2

    Build and verify the candidate set

    Add your own candidates or request suggestions. Market Dog records offer, identity, website, and sourced risk findings for review.

  3. 3

    Review the evidence and scoring

    Inspect citations, unknowns, confidence, weights, and manual adjustments before accepting the comparison.

  4. 4

    Record the human choice

    Choose the next step, explain the rationale, and export a decision package that others can challenge or revisit.

What the study checks

Market Dog checks the product and the company behind it.

A ranking is only useful when reviewers can see what supports it, what remains uncertain, and what a person changed.

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.

Security35%Price20%

The ranking follows your priorities

Price may carry more weight in one study. In another, security or deployment may decide the order. You choose what matters.

Data breachAcquisitionreported May 2026

Dated supplier events stay visible

Sourced security, legal, and ownership events sit beside the evaluation with their date, so reviewers can decide what needs follow-up.

Human reviewDecision record

The final recommendation remains yours

Reviewers can change priorities, override a score with a reason, record the selected solution, and export the result.

Built for a decision that other people will review.

Market Dog keeps access, AI use, evidence, and decision ownership explicit throughout the study.

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

What teams usually need to know before they start.

Straight answers about control, evidence, and the role of AI.

Can we bring our own candidates and criteria?

Yes. Add your own candidate list, edit the proposed criteria, change weights, and add disqualifying requirements.

What happens when evidence is missing or contradictory?

The study can keep a value unknown and preserve conflicting findings for review. Missing evidence should not become an invented score.

Does AI make the final decision?

No. AI can suggest candidates, structure research, and help explain a score. A person reviews the evidence and records the final choice.

What counts as a paid seat?

Every accepted workspace member counts as a seat, regardless of role. Pending invitations do not count until they are accepted.

Can I try Market Dog or pay annually?

Start on Free. The current public checkout is monthly and does not include a paid plan trial. Contact us to discuss annual commercial terms.

What happens to our data if we downgrade?

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.
