From a research idea to usable evidence.

Built for researchers and support teams who need a credible starting point for a funding conversation.

  1. Describe the work

    Use a short, non-confidential summary and optionally add country and broad field.

  2. Compare past awards

    We retrieve a focused candidate set and score five dimensions independently.

  3. Inspect the record

    Review matching awards, institutions, amounts, publications, and original sources.

Useful evidence needs visible limits.

A match shows historical similarity. It does not establish eligibility or predict future funding. Missing countries, amounts, or outputs do not mean no evidence exists.

We keep currencies separate, avoid hard geographic exclusions, and link back to the underlying record wherever possible.
