GASQ independently calculates the Cost to Protect™ so buyers can validate budgets, evaluate vendor pricing, and identify potential capital-recovery opportunities before awarding a security contract.

Built for CFO-Level Cost Analysis.
GASQ is not another quote-comparison website. Before vendors tell you what they want to charge, GASQ helps determine what the service should realistically cost to deliver.
Validate Before You Estimate™ — price validation before price comparison. That’s why GASQ never treats a vendor’s quote as the starting point for what protection should cost.
Most Buyers Don’t Know What Security Services Really Cost.
Many buyers compare vendors against each other instead of comparing vendors against the actual cost of performing the service correctly.
Confusion leads to:
- Understaffed contracts
- High turnover
- Hidden workforce costs
- Poor service quality
- Unrealistic pricing
- Increased liability exposure
GASQ changes that.
We help buyers answer the one question every procurement decision really turns on:
“Can I afford this service before I buy it?”Learn How
Traditional Procurement vs. The GASQ Way
GASQ flips the order: establish what protection should cost, then judge every quote against it.

The GASQ Procurement Workflow
Scope first. Validation second. Price last. Here’s the exact order buyers and vendors move through on GASQ.
Validate the requirement
Before any pricing, GASQ confirms the job is real and fully defined:
- Decision-maker / designated representative
- Approved budget or budget range
- Project location
- Start & end dates
- Scope of work
- Coverage requirements
- Service type
- Procurement requirements
Establish the Cost to Protect™
GASQ independently calculates what the service should realistically cost to deliver.
Establish a financially supportable buyer offer
The buyer sets an offer or range the economics actually support — not a hopeful number.
Vendor validates requirements & capability
Qualified vendors confirm they understand the scope and can deliver it.
Buyer & vendor resolve open items
Both sides close gaps on scope, assumptions, and requirements.
Final estimate / quote is revealed
Only now is pricing negotiated and revealed — measured against a validated benchmark, never used as the starting point.
