Independent, vendor-neutral platform selection for CMS, commerce, search, and AI
Fidget Labs runs vendor-neutral Platform Selection: four weeks, €15,000 or $20,000 fixed. We score platform, stack, or AI model options against your actual constraints and data, and deliver a written recommendation with the reasoning exposed and a lock-in and portability assessment. We hold no partner badges, take no resale margin, and accept no referral fees.
You are probably here because
- Every shortlist you have seen came from a firm that partners with one of the vendors on it
- You need to defend the choice to a board or procurement
- You worry about being locked in for a decade
- You are choosing an AI model or agent framework and the market changes monthly
What we do
- Agree the decision criteria with you before any vendor demo
- Score the options against your content, data, team, and budget
- Expose the reasoning and the trade-offs in writing
- Assess lock-in and portability, and say what we would not do

Questions
Why not ask the platform vendors to pitch?
You should, after you have criteria. Vendors sell well. Selection is about deciding what you are actually buying before the demos start.
Do you take referral fees from any platform?
No. No partner badges, no resale margin, no referral fees.
