Is there a set of community approved rules to avoid vendor lock-in?

I mean something one can show to a manager or other decision maker that is easy to understand and easily verifiable.

Are there some universally accepted set of rules, checklist or conditions that help detect and prevent vendor lock-in in an objective, measurable way?

Have any of you warned a manager about the danger of vendor lock-in during the initial stages of a project?
