Single-page buyer reference · 3 tiers · 30-day timeline · 11 deliverables · 38 evidence artefacts · 7 acceptance gates
Buyers evaluating DEFONEOS need a single document that answers: What do I get? How much does it cost? What's the timeline? How do I verify it's real? This consolidated pack answers all four in one curl-verifiable page. It draws from the per-tier pricing detail (11 cost lines × 3 tiers), the buyer evidence bundle (38 artefacts × 3 tiers), the pilot cost-benefit model (5-year TCO), the MOD framework agreement checklist (14 frameworks), and the per-region procurement map (12 UK regions). Every number on this page is independently verifiable via a public URL or a <60-second curl script.
The pack is designed for the decision-maker — the Defence Sourcing Portal buyer, the MOD Commercial officer, the CCS Category Manager, the DASA Programme Manager — who needs to move from "what is DEFONEOS?" to "I can approve a 30-day pilot" in a single reading.
