The question is whether a price is in line with comparable offers, and the trap is that offers are rarely comparable as listed. Different specifications, quantities, terms and currencies sit behind figures that look alike. You receive a benchmark in which public prices are normalised to one stated basis, with ranges, outliers, the offers excluded and why, and a source log.
A quote from a supplier, a competitor's list price and a marketplace listing answer different questions. Before any number is compared, the basis is written down: specification, pack size or unit, order quantity, what the price includes, and the date it was seen. The benchmark then shows where a price falls and how much of the gap is the basis itself.
Where an offer cannot be brought to the basis without guessing, it is shown separately and marked not comparable.
Public prices are what sellers show. Achievable prices in a negotiation can differ, and nothing here predicts them.
Product, specification, quantity and channel in writing.
Public prices and list prices from the channels in scope, with date and source for each.
Convert to the basis; set aside what cannot be converted.
Ranges, outliers, excluded offers, and the method and limitations note.
Per piece, per kilogram or per set, and at which order size, since public tiers move with volume.
Packaging, accessories, warranty or service terms that one seller includes and another charges for separately.
List price, advertised offer or a quote supplied by the client, each kept in its own column.
When the figure was seen and the currency shown, so the benchmark is not mixed across periods.
The range tests the quote and the outlier notes show which comparable offers are not like-for-like.
Competitor and substitute prices are normalised to the seller's pack and specification before any comparison.
The comparison basis is written down, so the same basis can be named in a later brief.
Research reports what can be established from public and provided sources. It is not a guarantee about a counterparty's future conduct and not legal advice.
No. The benchmark shows public prices on a stated basis, not what a negotiation will yield.
