Helsingin Sanomat har gjort et intervju med Lauri Puranen som leder HX-programmet.Noe er relatert direkte på han, men det står også endel om selve prosessen. Best å lese selv, men tar med noen få punkter oversatt til engelsk.

The HX project is currently in the final stages of bringing together the results of different candidates based on security of supply, life cycle costs, industrial collaboration and performance.
Each area is evaluated by its own working group, which does not share information with other groups. This is to ensure that the assessments of the groups do not interfere with each other.
“There's 100 people doing all this. No individual can influence the decision, ”Puranen assures.
The multi-annual evaluation process ends with the working groups taking turns presenting their findings to a separate evaluation team made up of senior officials and officers from the Ministry of Defense and the various branches of the Defense Forces.
The winner will be selected from among fighter candidates who pass the requirements of security of supply, life cycle costs and industrial cooperation. Those who pass are finally ranked according to the points given for the military performance of the fighters.
“The group decision is made by a dozen people. For example, I have refused to be involved in any evaluation and vote. I am an observer in everything. I can't influence the voting decision, ”says Puranen.
