Publication Reference

Worksheet privacy and information handling

The worksheets run in the browser and do not create a server-side procurement record.

Inputs and evidence-reference notes remain in the open page's memory. This release does not submit them, retain them in browser storage or attach them to provider referral links.

Local inputs and exports

The brief and cost comparison calculate locally. There is no account, portfolio-upload endpoint or document submission form. Reset clears the current worksheet state, and refreshing the page returns to the illustrative defaults. Evidence fields are intended for short references, not confidential contracts or personal information.

Downloaded JSON and CSV files contain the information supplied by the reader. The site cannot control later sharing, spreadsheet imports, device backups or printing. Review an exported file before sending it to a provider or another reviewer. Formula-like text is escaped in CSV output to reduce spreadsheet formula-injection risk; that protection does not remove confidentiality obligations.

Search and hosting requests

Library search fetches a public static index and matches the query inside the browser. No query or worksheet input is sent to a search service. The site includes no advertising pixel, analytics script or payment interface in this release.

Cloudflare serves the pages and may process ordinary request metadata such as IP address, user agent and request path under its applicable policies. Local calculation does not make the act of visiting a hosted website anonymous. The absence of application-level data collection should not be confused with the absence of ordinary hosting records.

External websites and inquiries

A source link or provider inquiry link opens a separately operated service. That destination has its own privacy terms, forms and information-handling practices. Publication-specific referral parameters identify the source site and campaign only; the generated links do not include worksheet values or evidence notes.

Do not treat this reference site as a confidential document-delivery channel or as a party to a provider agreement. Establish any required secure transfer process with the actual recipient. An exported checklist is a record prepared on your device, not proof that a provider has received or accepted its contents.

Evaluation checkpoints

  • No worksheet submission or persistent browser storage is implemented.
  • Exports can contain your entered notes and assumptions.
  • External destinations operate their own privacy processes.
