if you are building a house

CPFF will be $1 million + $10K Fixed fee which is usually the profit of seller

CPAF will be something like $1million + $10K ( provided some conditions are met based on contractors performance) . This is usually done to ensure timely completions within cost.

In some contracts, the fee is determined subjectively by an awards fee board whereas in others the fee is based upon objective performance metrics. An aircraft development contract, for example, may pay award fees if the contractor achieves certain speed, range, or payload capacity goals

so I understand that CPFF has a greater risk ....than CPAF
