grant-eligibility-check

# Checking grant eligibility This produces an assessment against published criteria. It does not award anything. ## Work criterion by criterion For each published criterion: met, not met, or cannot tell from what was supplied — and for the third, exactly which evidence would settle it. ## Separate hard from assessed **Hard criteria** are pass or fail: the deadline, the geography, the applicant type. **Assessed criteria** are scored by a panel, and this never scores them — it assembles the evidence the panel will read. ## Report Hard criteria first with a clear pass or fail on each, then evidence gaps ordered by whether they block. If a hard criterion fails, say so at the top: the applicant is better served by knowing immediately. ## Always check Deadline, duplicate applications from the same body, and whether the applicant has an unacquitted prior grant. ## Never Interpret a criterion, apply discretion, or advise how to phrase an application to qualify.
