Allow approximately 20 minutes for an initial discussion; gathering missing evidence is a separate task. Complete one response for one purchasing decision, rather than scoring the entire department’s general sophistication.
Write down:
- Decision: retain, add, replace, consolidate, build internally or buy nothing.
- Scope: club or ownership group; supplier category; competitions and seasons.
- Deadline: decision date and any contractual notice date.
- Participants: football evaluator, technical evaluator where needed, and budget owner.
- Evidence date: when the supporting documents were checked.
Choose the highest option whose conditions you can substantiate today. An intention to prepare a document does not count as having it. If participants disagree, use the lower evidenced answer until the disagreement is resolved.
| Points | General meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Unknown, absent or based entirely on assumption |
| 1 | Discussed, but insufficiently specified or documented |
| 2 | Defined and documented sufficiently to prepare the test |
| 3 | Agreed, evidenced and operationally ready for this decision |
Record an evidence reference beside every answer: a contract section, requirements sheet, test plan, sample output or named approval. Do not upload confidential contracts, shortlists or personal information to complete this quiz.
There is no automatic full score for “not applicable”. Where an API, predictive model or AI feature is unnecessary, document the simpler workflow and test its relevant hand-off, assumptions and evidence trail instead.
