Passes

[GrantForge] made the preparation process much easier than I expected. Great tool. If a new KIEM call opens, our proposal is ready.

Questions

Why €1,000 for an evaluation, when a general AI assistant will review my proposal for free?

Because an assistant gives you an opinion, and this gives you the ESR your proposal is likely to receive: your programme's criteria, its scale and its thresholds, with every finding tied to the passage it relies on, calibrated on real ESRs for the main programmes. Compare it with the external reviewer your office already pays for a single read.

How is the evaluation built?

Your proposal is read against your programme's criteria, scoring scale and thresholds, and the findings are written in the terms of an ESR, each one pointing to the passage it relies on. The method is calibrated on real proposals and their ESRs, shared with us under NDA, for ERC, Horizon Europe RIA, IA and CSA, and EIC Pathfinder Challenges. How the evaluation works

How is Scout different from the funding database we already subscribe to?

A funding database ends on a call document. Scout ends on a concept note: the objectives, the project results allocated to each partner, how far you cover the call, which partner profile you are missing, and whether the time left makes it feasible. That is the work your advisors do by hand after the database has done its job.

Why does a collaborative proposal cost six times a small grant?

Because a small grant is a short proposal for a small amount, while a consortium of twenty needs co-design, roles, consistency checks across every section and every partner, and months of coordination. A small grant takes a small pass; above that, the price follows the work.

Is there a discount when I buy several passes?

Yes, on one order: 1 to 3 passes list price, 4 to 5 −15%, 6 and above −30%. Every pass of the order counts, evaluations and full proposals together, whatever the class. Each order stands on its own.

What counts as one proposal?

One application to one call, from the first evaluation to its submission deadline, re-runs included. The same project resubmitted to a later round is a new proposal.

How do I get a pass?

Start free: your first proposal, written or imported in GrantForge, and its evaluation preview cost nothing. When you need the Word export in the programme's layout or the full evaluation, order a pass from the proposal or from Plans in your workspace, with a reference if your finance office needs a purchase order. You get a quote or an invoice, and the pass opens as soon as the order is confirmed, so a payment term never delays your deadline.

Do my partners need to pay?

No, and there is no cap. You invite them with a role and they never count against anything. The coordinator buys the pass, once.

Our consultant opened our workspace. What happens at the end of the trial?

After 30 days the space goes read-only and the watch stops. Nothing is deleted, everything is kept for 90 days, and you subscribe when you want to carry on. Your consultant keeps access at no cost once you do.

Where is my proposal processed?

In the EU, with Mistral AI. Storage is private, access is time limited, and your proposals are never used to train anything. A Data Processing Agreement and a security assurance plan are available before you start.
