Gartner Consolidated Assessment Report

How To Use This Assessment



This assessment is designed to serve as an independent due diligence reference at any stage of your vendor relationship — before selection, during implementation, or after deployment. Before selection, it documents the structural risk variables that standard analyst reports do not measure, allowing you to build risk mitigation into your evaluation process. During implementation, it provides an evidence-based diagnostic framework when adoption challenges emerge — shifting the conversation from blame to documented pattern recognition. After deployment, it serves as the independent reference that explains why outcomes diverged from expectations, protecting both the decision and the decision-maker with longitudinal evidence. This is not a one-time read. It is a reference document that becomes more valuable the further you are into your vendor relationship.

The Hansen Fit Score™ is an independent, evidence-based diagnostic that measures the gap between what a vendor's technology can do and what organizations actually achieve when they implement it. Built on the RAM 2025™ multimodel validation framework — where five independent AI models analyze publicly available evidence across 18 years of the Procurement Insights Archives — the HFS™ produces the only vendor assessment in ProcureTech that measures implementation outcomes, not just platform capability. No vendor interviews. No demos. No sponsorship. 100% independent.

This assessment applies the same Hansen Fit Score™ framework to the world's largest technology advisory firm. Inside: the "Authority Paradox" — why 20+ years of Magic Quadrants and Hype Cycles have not moved the baseline implementation failure rate; revenue model incentive analysis across Gartner's $6.3B annual operation; the "Certainty Theater" pattern; AI Literacy Roadmap gap analysis; and five critical questions to ask before relying on Gartner for selection or implementation decisions. Validated by 5/5 independent AI models.

The ROI:

If a failed implementation costs $3M and the failure rate is 65%, your risk exposure is $1.95M. This report costs 0.09% of that risk.
