The Kilako Process

From need to confident selection.

Every project is different, but the decision process can still be structured.

01
Step 1

Define the Need

Start by clearly defining the project, problem or service you need. The goal is to establish what a successful outcome looks like before you start comparing experts.

What this means
Describe the project or service
Identify the most important outcomes
Establish requirements and constraints
Determine what matters most to you
02
Step 2

Define Best Value

Not every project has the same definition of value. Kilako helps you establish the factors that will matter when evaluating your options.

What this means
Expertise and experience
Approach and understanding
Value-added ideas
Communication and interview
Scope and price
03
Step 3

Discover Experts

Find qualified experts whose experience and capabilities align with your needs. Kilako is designed to make expertise easier to discover and compare.

What this means
Review qualifications
Explore relevant experience
Compare areas of expertise
Identify the strongest matches
04
Step 4

Evaluate

Look beyond the number at the bottom of a proposal. Evaluate the complete picture using the Best Value factors established for your project.

What this means
Review proposals and scope
Compare expertise
Evaluate value adds
Assess communication and approach
Consider price in context
05
Step 5

Select

Make your decision based on the expert who offers the strongest overall value for your specific need—not simply the lowest price.

What this means
Compare your leading options
Review the overall value
Select with greater confidence
Move forward with a clear rationale
The Difference

Kilako changes the question.

Instead of asking, “Who has the lowest price?” the process starts by asking, “What represents the best value for this need?”

01

Start with value

Define what matters before price enters the conversation.

02

Let experts demonstrate value

Give qualified experts an opportunity to show how they can solve the problem.

03

Compare the whole picture

Consider expertise, approach, value adds, communication, scope and price together.

04

Make the decision transparent

Create a clear rationale for why one option represents the strongest overall value.

Best Value

Price is part of the decision.It isn't the entire decision.

The Best Value Approach considers the complete picture so that expertise, approach, value adds, communication, scope and price can all contribute to the decision.
