Grant Finder Studio

UK funding intelligence and grant-writing platform for Community Interest Companies.

The promise: in ninety seconds, from one plain-English paragraph, a CIC knows which funding opportunities are worth their next twenty hours — and why.

What makes it different

It is not a grant database and not a chatbot over one.

• Eligibility is deterministic. A rules engine decides, not a language model. A wrong eligibility verdict costs a volunteer twenty hours, so it is the most heavily tested code in the project.
• CIC eligibility is modelled properly. Funders admit and exclude CICs in six distinct patterns, and applicants misread them in both directions. Nobody else models this.
• Funder behaviour beats funder rhetoric. What a funder has actually funded — from open 360Giving awarded-grants data — predicts fit better than its priorities page.
• Effort is priced in hours. £30,000 for nine hours is a different proposition from £10,000 for thirty. The product says which is worth doing.
• Nothing is asserted that cannot be traced. Every claim in a draft resolves to a confirmed, sourced fact, or is visibly flagged as unsupported.

Status

Early. The domain core is built and fully tested; the application around it is not. See docs/STATUS.md.
