From proposals to a decision

Price is only one part of a contractor bid.

Different proposals often hide important differences in scope, qualifications, scheduling, protections, and exclusions. CompareMetric puts those differences where you can see and evaluate them.

1

Enter each proposal

Bring competing bids into one consistent, organized comparison.

2

Evaluate what matters

Score the factors that affect value—not just the quoted total.

3

Choose with confidence

See the full picture, identify tradeoffs, and document your decision.

The 10 NOT NET method

Ten points that reveal the strongest overall proposal.

A structured framework helps you compare unlike bids fairly and recognize the offer that delivers the best overall value.

Portrait of Lumi, creator of CompareMetric
“I needed more than a simple list of pros and cons.”
Created by Lumi

Born from real-world decision making.

CompareMetric grew from my lifelong habit of turning complicated problems into clear, organized decisions. My professional background includes engineering, marketing, purchasing, and evaluating competing proposals.

Whenever several vendors offered different prices, features, conditions, and promises, I developed structured spreadsheets that made the differences visible, compared the offers fairly, and helped identify the choice that delivered the best overall value.
