Evaluation

What your agent evaluates

You set the weights, and rate and availability are extracted as facts alongside the score.

Skills match

Portfolio and skills against the brief.

Reliability

Signal on past delivery and consistency.

Scope understanding

Whether they actually read the brief.

Rate and availability

Day rate, start date, and commitment.

Trust and safety

Fair, consistent comparison.

  • Every proposal is judged against the same brief.
  • Rate and availability are extracted, not guessed.
  • Frontier compares; you decide who to call.
Questions

Questions,
answered.

/01

Can it read rate and availability from a proposal?

Yes. It extracts rate, availability, and commitment as facts alongside the fit score.
/02

Does it understand the brief?

Scope understanding is one of the dimensions it scores, so a proposal that misreads the brief ranks lower.
/03

Can I change what it looks at?

Yes. Every criterion and its weight is yours, set in plain language. These are sensible defaults to start from.
