There are three ways to get a funding portal: hire someone to build it, buy a front end from a vendor, or subscribe to a data API and have the application built on top of it. Each is the right answer for some organizations. The wrong answer is picking one before you’ve written down what you need, which is why this lesson comes after the first three.
This lesson describes each path, what it really costs you in money, staff time and control, and the questions that expose a weak proposal. Then it gives you a neutral decision matrix you can score yourself and put in front of your board.
