How PR97 works

Claims become useful when they survive a buyer's scenario

Public pages identify what to verify. A controlled trial, current quote, and signed agreement determine the purchase.

Read the methodology
1

Define the outcome

Name the present failure, users, data, volume, exception, owner, and pass condition.

2

Run the same test

Give every finalist the same roles, source data, failure case, and evidence requirement.

3

Normalize full cost

Include usage, services, labour, dependent tools, renewal, and exit.

4

Keep the record

Retain the result, assumptions, contract condition, owner, review date, and export proof.

Evidence boundary

Public pricing is a starting point, not the payable quote

Country, currency, tax, billing term, promotion, reseller, volume, add-ons, implementation, and renewal timing can change the amount. PR97 separates public references from the assumptions that still need a vendor response or contract term.
