This guide gives your team a structured framework for cutting through vendor noise, built around the five things that actually separate a platform from a point solution:

• Clinical value and validation — what independent evidence backs the claims
• Workflow and native integration — what clinicians actually adopt vs. tolerate
• Enterprise infrastructure and scalability — what holds up across sites, scanners, and outages
• Analytics and AI governance — what you can actually report to your board
• Partnership and deployment — what happens after the contract is signed
