OTT RFP Scorecard (Download)
Procurement-ready questions and scoring for white-label OTT vendor selection
What the RFP scorecard covers
The RFP scorecard is a 7-section procurement document that gives you the right questions to ask any OTT vendor — and a consistent scoring framework to compare responses.
It is designed for: procurement teams, CTOs, product leads, and founders who want to run a structured vendor selection process without missing the non-obvious requirements.
The 7 sections
Section 1: Ownership & Governance
Questions that reveal who really controls the product — app accounts, update schedules, and data ownership.
Section 2: Device Support (Now vs Roadmap)
Get exact answers on which devices are certified and live, which are in development, and what the roadmap commitment means legally.
Section 3: Content Model + Workflows
Probe the CMS, metadata model, roles and permissions, and the workflow for a typical content update.
Section 4: Monetization + Ads
Cover SVOD/AVOD/TVOD natively vs add-on, payment gateway options, and ad tech integration depth.
Section 5: Integrations + Data Exports
Get specifics on the API surface, webhook support, and — critically — the process and format for exporting user data and analytics.
Section 6: Ops + SLA + Security
Response time commitments, incident escalation, status page, DRM compliance, and data processing agreements.
Section 7: Pricing + Year-2 TCO
Ask every vendor to provide a year-2 cost scenario at your projected scale — this separates the transparent vendors from the others.
