API Gateway evaluation: six products, one confident decision

A large insurance group needed an API gateway for a new digital platform. Six vendors, three internal camps, and a procurement clock already running.

Challenge

Where they stood

Vendor demos had produced opinions, not evidence. Security, platform and product teams each favoured a different product, and nobody could explain the trade-offs to the board.

Approach

What we did

We ran the Rapid Decision Framework end to end: a weighted criteria catalogue agreed with all three teams, hands-on proof points on the group’s own use cases, and transparent scoring that anyone could audit.

Outcome

What changed

A single recommendation with a written rationale, accepted by all camps and signed off by the board in one session. The platform team started implementation the following month.

Client name withheld by agreement. References available on request.

Facing the same decision?

One structured engagement. 3–6 weeks. A decision your team actually stands behind.
