Purpose and limits

The site helps MSP buyers structure service requirements, compare public provider statements and prepare written verification questions. It does not deliver managed services, act as your service desk, broker an incident response or certify a provider. Content is general information, not individualized legal, tax, security or procurement advice.

Provider statements are attributed claims, not independent proof of performance. Unknown evidence is not proof that a capability is absent. Source review dates apply to the stated scope; a page revision does not refresh every underlying fact. Obtain current written terms and conduct a scoped pilot before making an operational commitment. See the methodology and editorial policy.

Tools and downloads

The calculator models your assumptions; it is not a vendor quote, a staffed roster or a savings guarantee. Blank cost inputs are unknown, not zero. Taxes, exchange rates and other unmodeled costs must be evaluated separately. Worksheets and templates are starting points for adaptation and professional review, not ready-to-sign service agreements.

You may use and adapt the provided worksheets and templates for your own procurement or internal operations. Do not imply that MSP Shortlist endorses your resulting document or provider choice. You are responsible for reviewing your inputs and outputs. Tools do not submit inputs to us, and the site has no account, checkout or service purchase facility.

Responsible use and content

Do not misuse the site, try to access private project files, disrupt availability or enter confidential client records, credentials or personal identity documents into examples. You may link to the site and quote short attributed excerpts. Other reproduction of original articles or imagery requires permission unless permitted by applicable law. Provider names and third-party marks belong to their respective owners; inclusion does not imply affiliation.

Editorial images are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of provider facilities or employees. No first-hand testing or customer ratings are claimed. Directory ordering is alphabetical, not a performance ranking. Read the affiliate disclosure for the site's link and compensation policy.

Availability and third-party services

We aim for accurate, usable information but do not promise uninterrupted availability, complete provider coverage, error-free content or any business result. External websites and provider agreements are controlled by their operators. An outbound link is not an agreement or warranty from this publication. No statement here excludes rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

Corrections and changes

Send the page URL, disputed statement and dated supporting source to the publisher. Corrections do not require payment. These terms may change as the site changes; the effective date identifies the current version. For personal-data practices, read the privacy policy.
