constraint card / offer 2 · free workflow
Score Two Offers Against the Constraints You Actually Have — Free
Score each offer on pay, the commute it costs you, and how much flexibility it allows; the card ranks them so the decision rests on your constraints rather than on the headline number.
What this replaces
Offer comparisons usually compare salary and stop. This takes the pay, the commute in minutes, and the flexibility, with commute inverted, so a lower offer with a short commute and real flexibility can win on your own numbers.

The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One option per line with pay, commute minutes, and flexibility out of ten.
Let the card score them
Each gets a weighted score with the three numbers behind it.
Check the spread before deciding
A narrow spread means the non-numeric factors should decide.
Confirm anything binding in writing
Pay, notice, and flexibility belong in the contract.

Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally. Because this topic can involve personal detail, delete names and identifiers you do not need before you paste.
What breaks, and what to do
Flexibility guessed
Ask what it means in practice before scoring it.
Commute given as a distance
Minutes are what cost you; convert it.
Equity or bonus not quantified
It cannot be scored without a number; note it separately.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page arranges what you enter into talking points and a record. It does not give legal advice, does not negotiate for you, and guarantees no outcome or offer.
Confirm contract terms, pay data, and anything binding with HR in writing or a qualified adviser before you rely on it.
