Vendor Evaluation Scorecard (CSV)
A weighted comparison of fictional vendors with evidence notes, decisions, and review ownership. This UTF-8 CSV twin contains the model's single canonical table for parser, import, and round-trip tests.

What is a .csv file?
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular format where rows are lines and fields are separated by commas, with quoting rules for values that contain delimiters, quotes, or newlines. It has no formal type system and depends on encoding and dialect conventions. It is the most portable format for tabular data exchange.
How to use this file
Use an example CSV to test parsers against quoting and embedded-delimiter edge cases, header handling, encoding detection, and import pipelines into databases or spreadsheets.
How to use this file for testing
“Vendor Evaluation Scorecard (CSV)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Templates, Conversion testing, Editor testing. Professional, neutral starting-point documents you can download and adapt — invoices, resumes, budgets, and more.
Documented properties for this file: 5 rows · 9 columns. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
This template ships filled with realistic sample content and documented fields and formulas. Download it as a starting point, or point a converter/parser at it — format twins (for example DOCX↔PDF) let you diff conversion fidelity.
