The Three Indices used for Search

SugarCRM
Cost Efficiency

The Cost Efficiency Index compares the value you receive per dollar spent, factoring in several parameters such as hourly pricing, resource experience, productivity, and delivery quality. Though not an absolute cost measure, it enables relative comparison—e.g., a company with an index of 90 is expected to deliver the same project at half the cost of one rated 45.

PIM System
Project Success Index

A relative score estimating the likelihood of your project's success with a given development company—defined as delivering expected outcomes on time and within budget. It factors in the company's track record, consistency, team expertise, and fit for your project. It basically answers the question: "How likely is this team to get it right?"

EHR System
Return on Investment (ROI) Score

A relative index estimating the business impact of working with that development company—balancing cost, speed, risk, and outcome quality. A higher ROI score indicates greater strategic value and lower long-term cost. For example, a company with double the score is expected to deliver twice the ROI for the project.

FAQ

Catalik is a evaluation platform that helps you find the best-fit software development companies for your project. Based on your goals, tech stack, and budget, we analyze thousands of vendors and deliver a data-driven shortlist ranked by ROI, success probability, and cost-efficiency.

Unlike review platforms, Catalik does not rely solely on subjective client testimonials. We use an objective, model-driven approach to evaluate thousands of development companies based on real-world delivery performance, project alignment, cost efficiency, team experience, and long-term business value.

We assess the companies using three proprietary indices:

  • Cost Efficiency – Are you getting value for what you pay?
  • Project Success Index – How likely is this vendor to deliver successfully?
  • Expected ROI – What is the long-term strategic and financial impact?

Catalik is a project agnostic platform. If your requirements relate to software development, support, or maintenance, we will be able to find a list of best suited companies to execute those.

We are currently working to roll out this service also. If the development companies that you have shortlisted are in our database, we will provide an evaluation of those companies in addition to the top ten list that we provide on our website. We expect to roll this out in Q4 of this year.

No, the search is completely free.

No. Your data stays private, and we never share your information with development companies unless you explicitly choose to connect with them. Catalik is an independent, vendor-neutral platform with no paid placements or hidden promotions.

Once you submit your project details, our system processes your input and, in most cases, generates a personalized shortlist in real time.

Catalik platform is industry and technology agnostic. Our database has thousands of development companies with varied focus areas and industry experience. We take your specific project requirements, including any industry specific requirements, and find the best suited development companies.
