How it works, stage by stage
What is agreed in one stage becomes the starting point for the next, so it does not have to be typed in again.
The six stages
Idea
Module: Opportunities and Research
In plain words
Discover funding calls that suit your idea, and work out which are worth weeks of your time.
Discovery tools bring relevant calls into one place. Score them, keep the facts about your organisation with their sources, and decide what to pursue.
For research offices
Calls are tracked and deduplicated; company facts are held with their sources.
Application
Module: Applications
In plain words
Draft your answers from your own evidence, inside the funder's word limits.
AI can suggest wording. A person checks everything, and a person sends it. Partners add their own sections and budgets in one place.
For research offices
Limits are checked exactly by code; every evidence claim links to a source or stays open.
Award
Module: Award
In plain words
Turn your offer letter into a clear list of what you have agreed to do, and by when.
What you promised in the application becomes the plan you track, so you do not type it all in again.
For research offices
Obligations are cited to their clause and confirmed by a person into a commitments register.
Delivery and claims
Module: Time Tracking; Claims and Forecast
In plain words
Record your time as you work, keep each receipt with its cost, and see where every claimed figure came from.
When a claim is due, it is built from what you have already recorded, not pieced together from memory.
For research offices
Time is attested, approved and locked; costs sit in an append-only ledger; figures are computed by code.
Reporting
Module: Funder Reporting
In plain words
Write progress reports from what is already on record, then check them and send them yourself.
Risks, actions and progress are kept together, ready for meetings with whoever oversees your project.
For research offices
Reports and meeting packs draw on one baseline, registers and claim position, with approval before sharing.
Dissemination
Module: Dissemination
In plain words
Share what the project found, and keep track of what you promised to share.
Dissemination simply means telling people about your results. Many grants ask for it, so it helps to see what is done and what is due.
For research offices
Planned outputs are tracked against commitments, with open-access status recorded against funder rules.
You can join at any stage
A project won elsewhere can start from manual entry or an import. Earlier periods go in as clearly labelled history with their evidence, and never pass as time captured when the work happened.
What stays with people
Attesting time, approving claims, approving reports, and entering anything in a funder's system. AI can help with wording, but it never submits and never sets a figure.
