grant-proposal-architecture

This skill designs the proposal architecture before rhetoric takes over. It focuses on review criteria, feasibility, and novelty that can survive scrutiny.

When to use

• The user is preparing a grant or fellowship proposal.
• The proposal needs stronger logic, reviewer positioning, or work-package structure.

Workflow

1. Identify the funder lens: novelty, impact, feasibility, capability, or translational value.
2. Map the proposal around objectives, work packages, milestones, and risks.
3. Stress-test the logic for overclaiming, hidden dependencies, or weak feasibility.
4. Rewrite the proposal spine around reviewer decision points.

Configuration and access

• Save templates, funder notes, and deadline trackers only.
• Keep submission credentials and portal sessions user-controlled.

Output standard

• Deliver a proposal spine, not just polished prose.
• Surface the three biggest reviewer objections and how to answer them.

Guardrails

• Do not promise outcomes the design cannot support.
• Do not bury risk under marketing language.
