Making a shortlist

We will not tell you what the other platforms do.

A feature table comparing us to somebody else is out of date the week after it is written, and then it is us publishing something untrue about a named business. So these pages describe Radplicity, and give you the questions to put to every vendor on your list — this one included.

8 questions worth asking every vendor on your list.

None of them is shaped so that only we can answer it. Our answers are on each comparison page, with a link to the thing that backs each one up.

  1. 01

    How does the price change as more people use it?

    Per-learner pricing turns every new hire, every seasonal worker and every customer you want to train into a line item — which is how training budgets end up deciding who gets trained.

  2. 02

    What happens to somebody’s training record when they change role?

    A transfer, a group change or a rule edit changes what is expected of somebody. Whether it also erases what they already did is a question worth asking out loud, because finding out afterwards is expensive.

  3. 03

    Can a learner tell why they were assigned something?

    “Why do I have to do this?” is the commonest question an administrator gets. Whether it can still be answered six months later depends entirely on what was recorded at the time it happened.

  4. 04

    Is AI something I can turn off?

    Not everybody may put their people’s data through a model, and for some organizations that is a governance position rather than a preference.

  5. 05

    What does the accessibility story actually consist of?

    This one is easy to answer with a statement of intent. The useful follow-up is what happens automatically when somebody ships a screen that fails a check.

  6. 06

    Can I get my data out, and in what shape?

    The answer decides how hard it is to leave, which is worth knowing before you arrive.

  7. 07

    How many separate audiences can one account serve?

    Employees, dealers and customers tend to need different branding, different catalogs and different front doors. Ask what that costs — in licences and in reporting — before you need the second one.

  8. 08

    What happens when I republish a course people are part-way through?

    The dangerous answers are “everyone restarts” and “nobody notices” — and both are usually discovered after it happens.
