Summary

Headline

boldbi.com scores 73% for midsize and enterprise buyer fit (35/48 points on 24 of 28 items; 4 could not be checked). The strongest sections are pricing clarity (90%) and trust (83%). The biggest gaps are no architecture or data-flow overview for IT/security, an incomplete procurement pack (no security questionnaire, vendor forms or MSA/EULA), forms that don't route by company size, and two objections with no answer on the site: vendor lock-in and migrating existing dashboards.

Score

Top 3 actions

  1. Complete the enterprise path (S2): confirm by hand that "Contact sales" and "Book a demo" are in the header nav. Add a procurement section (security questionnaire, vendor/W-9 forms, MSA/EULA, alongside the existing DPA) linked from /security/ and /pricing/. Add a company-size field to the contact and quote forms.
  2. Close the IT/security gaps (S1, S3): publish an architecture and data-flow overview per edition, a vulnerability disclosure policy, and consistent hosting-region wording. Link status.boldbi.com from /support/ and /legal/security/.
  3. Answer the missing objections (S6): cover lock-in and dashboard export, migrating existing dashboards (on the comparison pages), company longevity, scaling proof, and renewal terms.

Proposed changes (need approval)

Nothing was changed. Each of these needs approval from a human before anyone acts:

  1. Website: header nav CTAs (if missing), a procurement document section, an architecture/data-flow page, a vulnerability disclosure policy plus security.txt, status page links, and FAQ answers for objections #5, #12, #13, #14 and #15.
  2. Website forms: add a company-size field and route by size (marketing ops / CRM routing).
  3. Website copy fixes:
    • region wording
    • support-channel wording
    • "SOC 2 certification" wording
    • review "as of" dates
    • MPC named for SSO on /authentication/
    • a REST API link
    • terms links on /pricing/
    • the accessibility statement
  4. Case studies: size labels and a filter.
  5. Repo: update _reference/objections/bold-bi.md #10 (support hours) and resolve its TODOs (#5, #13, #14, #15 proofs) to match the live site.

Score 1/2. /security/ and /legal/security/ state AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit, replication and backups, in-house plus yearly third-party pen testing. Gaps: no formal vulnerability disclosure policy (only 'support@boldbi.com'); hosting regions inconsistent (/legal/security/ says 'in the US region', /security/ says Cloud uses 'Managed regions' and MPC a 'Customer-selected region').

S2.4Forms short and route by company sizeneeds approval
Score 1/2. /contact/ form has 5 fields (Name, Email, Phone optional, Subject optional, message) and the pricing 'Get My Quote' form has name, email, optional phone: short, but neither asks company size, so no routing by size. /get-free-demo/ booking widget fields not captured.

S5.2Midsize+ organizations with customer-reported outcomesneeds approval
