Category breakdown
Each category carries the weight set out in the methodology.
Renewal & Cancellation Experience30% weight
Estimated52/100
Vendor-reported. The vendor submitted a declaration covering notice windows and cancellation handling at renewal. Reviewed against public terms but not independently verified against customer contracts.
Price-Increase Predictability15% weight
Estimated50/100
Repricing at Microsoft 365 Business arrives at renewal without a published policy or advance signal, which is where most of the risk sits.
Negotiation Flexibility15% weight
Estimated56/100
Observed from customer contracts and renewal correspondence covering concessions granted during renewal negotiations. Based on paperwork supplied by three or more buyers, cross checked against the vendor's published terms.
AI Terms Maturity20% weight
Estimated62/100
Microsoft 365 Business covers data handling clearly but leaves AI metering and overage behaviour loosely defined.
How to read this: the overall figure is a weighted average of the five categories, and one evidence basis applies to the whole card rather than category by category. Assessed from public sources: pricing pages, terms of service, and review-mining. The vendor has not participated. Any vendor can change this by submitting a declaration.
Assessed from public information. This vendor has not submitted a declaration. We publish the invitation openly and update the card if that changes.
Taking part does not raise a score. It changes what we can show our working against.
This score measures commercial treatment at renewal, not product quality. A vendor can be excellent and still price hard.
