grants-only
ZIM-first public beta

GrantDiscovery

The current public slice is intentionally narrow: qualify whether a buyer is credible for the BMWK ZIM lane, explain the missing evidence, and tell the operator what to do next. The earlier Python implementation remains preserved under legacy-python/ as the source-grounded migration bridge.

Guided intake flow

This is the correct GD order: entity first, innovation second, evidence third. Proposal guidance comes only after eligibility, lane fit, and evidence gaps are visible.

1. Entity first

Capture who is applying and from which country.

2. Innovation second

Describe the actual innovation and give it TRL/BRL and pilot context.

3. Evidence third

Only then decide the best lane, missing proof, and proposal next move.

Innovator intake

This public beta now preserves the intake as real URL-backed product state, while applicant country, company size, maturity stage, pilot-proof, and TRL still decide whether the live lane stays actionable or drops back to block/reshape-first.

Current implementation choice: keep the public beta focused on qualification, source grounding, and operator next steps. Auth stays outside the current public promise until the full saved-workspace stack is ready.
Workspace state: Canonical sample state. You are viewing the canonical sample intake with no custom URL state yet.

Use the shareable link to preserve this exact intake state across reloads and operator handoffs.

Saved workspace checkpoint

No saved workspace loaded

No saved workspace is currently loaded. Saving now will create a fresh local or server snapshot while the shareable URL remains the portable operator handoff path.

Server seam status

0 saved workspaces · server-file-seam · adapter:file · owner:default

The interim server seam is reachable, but it does not hold any named workspace snapshots yet. Durability: interim file-backed seam.

Browser-local saved workspaces

Save named local snapshots for this browser even before the Postgres-backed workspace stack lands.

Local saves stay in this browser; the share link remains the portable cross-device/operator path.

No local saved workspaces yet. Save the current intake here to reload it later without depending only on the URL.

Server-backed workspace seam

This is the first server persistence seam for GD-1. It is still a bounded interim layer, not the final Postgres/Auth.js cutover.

This adds an interim server-side save/load seam beyond the URL, but it is still a temporary file-backed layer rather than the final durable workspace stack.

Durable workspace cutover gate
Not requested · interim file seam
The dashboard is still using the interim file-backed seam. This is useful for GD-1 testing, but it is not the final durable Postgres/Auth.js workspace state.

No server-backed workspaces yet. Save the current intake to the server seam to make the first canonical persistence bridge visible in the UI.

Qualification scenario checkpoint: Canonical sample lane reasoning.

No fallback blocker signal is active, so the canonical sample brief still explains the lane reasoning.

Lane reasoning is still coming from the checked-in canonical sample qualification brief because the current intake does not yet trigger a harder country, beneficiary, budget, or readiness blocker.

Public beta promise

Keep the product promise honest while live-actionable coverage is still concentrated in one family.

What this beta does

Qualify whether BMWK ZIM is credible for this buyer now, explain why it fits, show the missing evidence, and tell the operator what to do next.

What this beta does not claim

It does not pretend the buyer has broad live grant choice today. Non-live families stay visible only as explained fallback/watchlist lanes.

Canonical qualification flow

Show the real GD progression directly from the active brief: eligibility first, proposal guidance last, with no hidden leap from discovery to drafting.

1. Eligibility

pass

Applicant country fits the programme geography scope.

2. Best lane

needs work

The current live-actionable coverage depends on one source family (BMWK ZIM), so source diversification remains an active priority.

3. Application posture

needs work

Application posture stays intake-first: The source is live, but the operator should collect the missing buyer inputs first so packet drafting does not run ahead of the evidence needed for a credible ZIM submission lane.

4. Evidence gaps

needs work

Still missing: technical concept note, work package outline.

5. Fit improvement

needs work

Improve fit by doing Reframe the buyer narrative around applied r and d, digitalization so the lane reads closer to the programme's stated theme language., Request a technical concept note from the buyer covering novelty, technical approach, and pilot scope..

6. Proposal guidance

needs work

Request the missing technical concept note and work package outline for ZIM Einzelprojekt before starting the application-readiness drafting pass.

Top-lane workspace

Decision recommendation: pursue ZIM Einzelprojekt now, but keep the lane intake-first until the buyer provides the missing technical concept note and work package outline. Keep EIC Accelerator as the fallback lane. Avoid spending proposal effort on rejected lanes until the project shape materially changes.

Priority actions

  • Reframe the buyer narrative around applied r and d, digitalization so the lane reads closer to the programme's stated theme language.
  • Request a technical concept note from the buyer covering novelty, technical approach, and pilot scope.
  • Request a work package outline from the buyer with milestones, owners, timing, and expected proof points.
