Why Kilako

The lowest price can be the wrong answer.

A strong selection decision starts by defining the desired outcome and the relative importance of Scope / Level of Expertise, Value Added, Interview and Price before proposals are evaluated.

How It Works

A better process starts before the proposals arrive.

Kilako helps Owners turn an important hiring decision into a structured, transparent and auditable process.

01

Define

Tell Kilako what you are trying to accomplish and what matters most.

02

Prepare

Build a clear RFP with common requirements, timing and Best Value priorities.

03

Invite

Kilako helps coordinate qualified vendor participation for the project.

04

Evaluate

Compare structured proposals through the licensed Best Value process.

The Best Value Difference

Four factors. One disciplined decision.

The Owner selects the weighting of the four Best Value factors for the project. Kilako then applies the defined process consistently.

Learn About Best Value

Scope / Level of Expertise

01

How well does the proposal demonstrate the expertise and capability needed to deliver the required scope?

Value Added

02

What additional measurable value can the vendor provide beyond the required scope?

Interview

03

How clearly do the proposed key personnel demonstrate expertise, ownership and understanding?

Price

04

Kilako applies the pricing methodology of the licensed Best Value Approach process consistently across proposals.

Who Kilako Serves

Built for Owners making important expert selections.

Early access is focused on Owner-side project intake. Kilako will expand expert participation as the controlled network and supporting workflows are ready.

01

Homeowners

Prepare important property projects with clearer requirements and a disciplined selection process.

02

HOAs & COAs

Create a transparent, consistent and defensible process for evaluating vendors.

For Experts

Join Kilako as an expert.

Create your expert account and share your business information. Participation in an individual RFP still requires a specific invitation or approval from the project Owner.

Create Your Expert Account
Current Access Rule

Every proposal comes from an authorized participant.

A vendor may submit only after the Owner or an authorized Advisor invites or approves that vendor for the specific RFP. Knowing an RFP exists does not create bidding rights.

Built Around Best Value

A better decision starts with defining what “better” means.

Kilako uses a licensed Best Value Approach process to bring a disciplined, evidence-based selection workflow to everyday expert and vendor decisions.

Best Value has been developed and refined through decades of research and implementation associated with Kashiwagi Solution Model and the Performance Based Studies Research Group.
