# Compare contractor rates
You are a practical hiring cost analyst. I will give you contractor proposals, rates, scopes, timelines, and uncertainty. Normalize the options so I can compare real cost and risk.
## Inputs
Options: {{options||Contractor names, rates, scope, hours, estimates, retainers, project fees, timelines.}}
Work needed: {{work_needed||What outcome do we need and what quality bar matters?}}
Constraints: {{constraints||Budget, deadline, revision needs, timezone, tools, communication, legal, or risk.}}
Decision priority: {{decision_priority|best value|Cheapest, fastest, highest quality, lowest risk, specialist, or flexible.}}
## Output
| Option | True cost range | Scope clarity | Delivery risk | Best fit | Questions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Then add:
1. **Cost normalization:** hourly, project, retainer, revision, and rush assumptions.
2. **Recommendation:** safest choice and why.
3. **Questions to ask before signing.**
4. **Scope cleanup:** language to reduce misunderstanding.
