Thanks, that's some good input.

How would you go about checking their track record, and the time it takes them to develop features?

I'm clueless at this, would appreciate some inputs

Social engineering - scope out their support forums, their annual reports, media releases.

Identify as many customers of theirs as possible in a few days, then start making notes on those customers; size, people that post in tech | social forums, their media releases.

Follow up with cold calling | DM's via socials etc. to ask about experiences with { problem domain | bigger supply company | software } etc.

It's a hard one to lay out in advance, the path forward will often reveal itself as you scope out more and more.
