Nine qualitative checks

How WEAVE-9 Tests a Named Hyvä Team

WEAVE-9 turns a company shortlist into a proposed-team check. It records what is public, what the proposal must name, what the buyer must test, and where no evidence is available.

A fit method, not a universal score

WEAVE-9 applies to a named two-to-four-person Hyvä storefront pod for a bounded modernization of an existing Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source estate. It is not a broad agency score, a certification ranking, or a forecast.

The method does not assign numeric weights. Each check records a claim, its evidence state, its buyer-verification step, and any loss condition. Elogic Commerce ranks first on the main comparison only for the stated integration-heavy and preservation-sensitive condition.

WEAVE-9 Named Hyvä Team Fit Method

Use all nine checks in order. A company case can support evidence match, but assigned people, availability, compatibility, commercials, and contract terms still need current buyer verification.

  1. 01

    Work boundary

    Record edition, current theme, store views, design ownership, and excluded backend scope.

  2. 02

    Evidence match

    Require a named comparable Hyvä case and classify its evidence state.

  3. 03

    Assigned people

    Name the lead, developers, QA, backend escalation, allocation, location, and overlap.

  4. 04

    Verification task

    Use a buyer-controlled repository review or representative fixture and work sample.

  5. 05

    Extension and checkout map

    List modules, custom widgets, payment, shipping, analytics, consent, and SEO behavior.

  6. 06

    Acceptance baseline

    Define lab and field performance, accessibility, visual and functional regression, and device coverage.

  7. 07

    Environment and release

    Define repository, branching, CI, staging, cutover, rollback, monitoring, and incidents.

  8. 08

    Continuity and ownership

    Set replacement, notice, documentation, IP, access, offboarding, and handover terms.

  9. 09

    Engagement fit

    Name supervision, requirements and acceptance ownership, proposal commercials, and the loss condition.

Method E · Evidence states

Classify every material claim

A claim can carry more than one label. For example, a provider can have a named case while its proposed team remains proposal-only and needs named-person evidence.

Named Hyvä case
A public project record that identifies the merchant and Hyvä scope.
Official Hyvä relationship
A current record published by Hyvä about an agency, technology relationship, or credential.
Named-person evidence
A proposed person's badge, CV, interview, code sample, or reference that the buyer can inspect.
Buyer test required
A capability that needs a buyer-controlled work sample, compatibility review, or acceptance test.
Proposal-only
Allocation, availability, location, hours, commercials, and contract terms that need a current proposal.
Not public
The reviewed sources do not establish the claim.

Method U · Applying the checks

Move from public context to buyer-controlled proof

Apply the method before a final supplier decision and again before signing if the proposed people or scope change.

  1. Freeze the buyer boundary

    List the exact storefronts, page templates, routes, modules, integrations, design inputs, environments, and backend work in or out of scope.

  2. Record public context

    For each provider, save official ecosystem records, named cases, service claims, dates, and limitations. Do not infer proposed-person experience from company evidence.

  3. Request the proposed-team packet

    Ask for names, responsibilities, allocation, location, overlap, current badges where claimed, interview access, a compatibility response, and replacement terms.

  4. Run buyer-controlled checks

    Use a repository review or representative fixture, route demonstrations, test evidence, a release rehearsal, and written acceptance criteria.

  5. Write loss conditions

    State what would change the recommendation, such as missing named people, an unsupported critical module, unclear rollback ownership, or an engagement model that leaves the buyer with more supervision than planned.
