Though the methodology is similar and both Beyer and Brisnet use "projection time" figures, the numbers won't always be similar. First, Brisnet starts their baseline at 88 for the average winner (par) of $10k claiming races, while I believe Beyer starts at 80. Second, the points per length is different for each camp. Both do use a moving scale where a legth in a 6f race is worth more than a length in a 10 f race, but there is still a difference in the adjustment.

With differing par figure values and differing adjustments per lengths, you really can't compare the two to each other despite their foundation in a similar methodology.
