How do you know when Wyz has found the right-fit?

Wyz shows at the top of the conversational screen whether it has a sense of how good the recommendation is for you. Red means poor-fit, yellow and amber means the recommendation is getting warmer and the greener the bar better is the fit.  Right-Fit is based on:

  1. Wyz’s understanding of your business problem. Remember Wyz is asking you questions to zero in on your problem, more the questions your answer more confident Wyz is about the recommendations
  2. Wyz’s understanding of your business context. If it knows who you are: your company, Industry, etc., it is more confident about the recommendations.
  3. It also depends on what software products your peers and expert have chosen in a related problem space. The more the peer and expert recommendations we have better is Wyz’s confidence in the recommendations.

Reports generated by Wyz

Wyz still generates a nice report that you previously could generate on cuspera.com. You can generate report after shortlisting 3 software products that Wyz recommends as right-fit. You can also share this report with your team and get feedback on your requirements and Wyz’s recommendations. There are minor changes from the previous format, but the bulk of the reporting format remains the same.
