VendorGuard

Why It Won — our reading

Scoring highest overall usually means clearing several criteria at once. It picks a task that genuinely eats someone's week, and reports in the red/amber/green form the business already uses, so adoption barely needs explaining. The orchestrator-plus-specialists split is easy to walk a panel through, and the rule count and turnaround time let the team talk in numbers, not adjectives. Assembling the host's tools into one working system, rather than sampling them, counts too.

This is our own analysis based on the official announcement and the project's own materials. It is not the organizer's stated reasoning.
