Problem & Solution

Evaluations

Evaluation committees drown in hundred-page proposals, and inconsistent scoring invites protests. Hazel helps teams structure evaluations against published criteria and utilizes AI to enforce citations and consistency for human raters. Your evaluations become more compliant, protest-proof, higher-quality, and structured.

Evaluations in Hazel

How it works

From solicitation to evaluation to consensus.

  1. Step 01

    Set up from the solicitation

    Hazel builds the evaluation structure directly from your published criteria and weights, so the evaluation matches what vendors were told.

  2. Step 02

    Ensure vendor responsiveness

    Automated checks confirm each submission meets the solicitation's requirements, such as page limits, required forms, and mandatory certifications. Responsiveness is visible at a glance before evaluators open a single proposal.

  3. Step 03

    Evaluate with evidence

    Evaluators review proposals with every relevant passage surfaced and linked. Ratings are tied to citations and structured comments.

  4. Step 04

    Reach consensus

    Scores, comments, and disagreements are organized for the consensus discussion. On platform, not in messy spreadsheets.

  5. Step 05

    Export the record

    One complete, organized evaluation record: criteria, scores, justifications, and sources, fitted to your processes and ready for debriefs, audits, or protests.

Story from a Customer

From 30 days to roughly two

A federal agency demonstrated a credible path from 30-day technical evaluations to roughly two, with every judgment still made by a human reviewer.

Compliance & trust

Hazel doesn't score proposals, rank vendors autonomously, or replace the judgment of your evaluation committee. We organize the evidence so that judgment is quicker to exercise and easier to defend.
