When evaluating firms, we often find polished proposals but little evidence of actual delivery performance. What methods have professionals here used to confirm that a firm can deliver on promises before contracts are signed?

During our office expansion we used fields builds references to verify the scope and results of past projects. The documented case studies showed consistent delivery, strong schedule control, and transparent communication practices. Relying on that data allowed us to approach negotiations with confidence, knowing we were working with a team that had already demonstrated reliability. It reinforced that documented evidence of prior delivery is the strongest predictor of future performance.
