Choosing a screening tool is a stakeholder problem as much as a product one

Most evaluations stall not because the tools are weak, but because legal, procurement, or compliance get pulled in too late to feel confident signing off. This guide gives you a structured way to compare vendors, run a pilot that actually proves something, and bring the right people in at the right moment, so the decision holds up once it’s made.
