Write the brief, then compare outside quotes on the same terms

For businesses hiring outside help — suppliers, contractors, service providers: turn your need into a one-page brief, let AI normalise the quotes you receive into one line-by-line table, and flag what each quote leaves out. The choice stays yours.

Baseline

Comparison stops at the total price because the formats differ, and the cheap quote hides missing items. Record it: the last outside hire, how the quotes were compared, what surfaced mid-project.

Sample output

Alignment table: 3 quotes × 8 brief lines — quote B omits disposal fees (line 5) and quotes a 4-week timeline against your 3-week boundary; draft question list per supplier attached.

Illustrative example. Not a live customer result.

Inputs

  • Your one-page brief: outcome, must-haves, boundaries, exclusions
  • The quotes or proposals you already received
  • Any contract terms you require (payment, insurance, confidentiality)

What AI prepares

  • Normalise each quote into the same line structure as your brief
  • Mark what the brief asked for but the quote does not cover
  • Surface differing assumptions: timelines, inclusions, payment terms
  • Draft questions to send each supplier about the gaps

A person approves

  • A person checks flagged lines against the original quotes before sending anything
  • A person makes the hiring decision — the table is the input, not the decision
  • Supplier questions go out only after a person approves them
