Here's a post about this from a few months back.

I'll usually say something like: "I do not compare candidates to other researchers, given the heterogeneity in cases and given that comparisons make tenure standards a moving target rather than a clear and clearable bar."

I've noticed a trend in requests for tenure reviews, asking letter writers to compare candidates to other "top" scholars at the same career stage. Can we please not do this?!?

Making tenure a moving and competitive target risks ratcheting up increasingly untenable expectations for productivity.

I'm so sorry your provider is dismissing you. Providers who listen are invaluable- hoping you find one soon.
