- Solution requirements reference category IDs from the capability taxonomy so responses are comparable.
- Service requirements draw on questions from the service delivery section of the question bank.
- Commercial draws on questions from the commercial section of the question bank.
- Evidence draws on the evidence section of the question bank and applies the evidence multiplier from the scoring model.
- Scoring approach references the published Netify methodology version so vendors can structure their answers to the rubric.
