Frequently Asked Questions

About our tools, how they are built, and how to get involved.

TeckNexus Independent Tools
TeckNexus independent tools are assessments, selectors, ROI calculators, and AI prioritisation tools developed entirely by TeckNexus. The methodology, scoring logic, and outputs are owned by TeckNexus — no vendor funds, influences, or has visibility into individual results. They are free to complete. Accessing the full output and PDF report requires registration.
No. TeckNexus owns the methodology, scoring, and output logic for all independent tools. No vendor has paid to influence recommendations or results. If a vendor is referenced in an output — for example, as a category of solution — it is because the evidence supports it, not because of a commercial relationship.
Registration allows TeckNexus to generate and deliver a personalised PDF report, track your results if you return, and — with your permission — notify you of updated benchmarks or relevant intelligence. Registration is free. Your data is not shared with any vendor without your explicit consent.
Individual submission data is held by TeckNexus and not shared with any third party without your explicit consent. Aggregated and anonymised data may be used to produce industry benchmark reports. No personally identifiable information is included in any published output.
All tools labelled TeckNexus in the directory — including the Private Network Technology Selector, Private Network Architecture Selector, AI Use Case Prioritisers (Manufacturing, Mining, Ports, Airports, Utilities), and the Private Network ROI Calculators (Manufacturing, Mining). More tools are added regularly.
Co-Developed & Sponsored Tools
Co-developed tools are built by TeckNexus in partnership with an industry sponsor. The sponsor co-funds development and is clearly disclosed on the tool. TeckNexus owns the methodology, platform, and output logic — the sponsor does not influence scoring or results. These tools are free for users to complete.
Your contact details may be shared with the named sponsor — but only with your explicit consent at the point of form submission. Your results and individual response data are not shared. The consent step is clearly presented before submission.
No. Sponsorship funds the development and hosting of the tool — it does not influence the methodology, scoring, or outputs. TeckNexus retains full editorial control. Sponsored tools go through the same methodology review as independent tools.
Yes. TeckNexus works with vendors, operators, and industry bodies to co-develop tools that serve enterprise decision-makers. Use the partner enquiry form on this page to tell us what you have in mind — tool category, target vertical, and what you are trying to achieve. We will get back to you to discuss fit and next steps.
Third-Party Tools (Curated Directory)
Third-party tools are ROI calculators, TCO models, decision aids, and planning resources produced by vendors, operators, or industry bodies. They are included in the TeckNexus directory because they offer genuine utility to enterprise decision-makers — but they are clearly labelled as vendor-produced. TeckNexus curates the directory and does not endorse any individual tool or vendor.
Tools are assessed for relevance, utility, and credibility. We look for tools that offer meaningful input fields and substantive outputs — not marketing calculators with fixed results. Listing is not paid placement. Any vendor can submit a tool for consideration using the form on this page.
Standard directory listings are unpaid. TeckNexus does not accept payment to influence which third-party tools are listed or how they are described. Separate commercial arrangements exist for co-developed and sponsored tools, which are clearly labelled as such.
Use the tool submission form at the bottom of this page. You will need to provide tool details, vendor information, and confirm that you are authorised to submit on behalf of the organisation. TeckNexus reviews all submissions before listing.
Vertical Intelligence Platforms (Paid)
Each Vertical Intelligence Platform is a structured set of 25+ decision cards built from TeckNexus analysis of real enterprise private network deployments. They cover a specific industry — Manufacturing, Mining, Ports, Airports — and are organised into six sections: vertical overview, business priorities and use cases, private wireless strategy, proof and ecosystem, decision framework, and deployment readiness. They are updated continuously as new deployments emerge.
A subscription to one vertical gives you access to all 25+ decision cards for that industry, continuous updates as new deployments are analysed, and the ability to share access across your team. Each card is structured around a specific decision — use case selection, vendor shortlisting, deployment model, ROI prioritisation — so you can navigate directly to what you need.
A research report gives you a snapshot at a point in time. The Vertical Intelligence Platform is continuously updated and structured around decisions, not narrative. Instead of reading a 60-page PDF, you navigate directly to the card relevant to your current question — vendor selection, use case validation, deployment model — and get evidence-backed guidance without the research overhead.
No. Each vertical is subscribed to separately at $1,200 per year. This keeps pricing proportionate to what you actually need. If you require multiple verticals, contact us to discuss multi-vertical access.
Yes. Each vertical has a sample platform available — accessible from the tool cards on this page. The sample gives you a representative selection of decision cards so you can assess the depth and format before committing.
The platforms are built for enterprise technology and operations teams evaluating private network investment, vendors building go-to-market strategies for specific industries, and consultants or system integrators advising clients on deployment options. They are also used by telcos and managed service providers tracking enterprise buyer priorities by vertical.
