Shared responsibility

How the work is coordinated

A lead person is assigned for each engagement. Requirements are converted into a working matrix, responsibilities are distributed across the relevant functions, and a correction log is used to close review issues. The final application is checked for consistency, realism, safeguarding, value for money, formatting, file readiness and deadline control before the applicant authorises submission.

From opportunity call to submission readiness

How we handle proposals and applications before submission

Our process begins with the official call and ends only after the application, budget, annexes, portal entries and submission evidence have been checked. The applicant remains the owner of the information and approves the final submission.

01

Verify the official call

We confirm the official source, eligibility, deadline, funding rules, required documents, portal route and any conflicting instructions before work begins.

02

Decide fit and readiness

The opportunity is tested against the applicant type, location, sector, capacity, evidence and compliance position. Readiness gaps are identified before drafting.

03

Build the requirement matrix

Every question, word limit, annex, declaration, signature, budget field and approval is placed in a controlled working matrix with an owner and status.

04

Design the project and results chain

The problem, target groups, objectives, outcomes, activities, indicators, workplan, risks, safeguarding and sustainability logic are aligned before narrative writing.

05

Cost the work realistically

The budget, budget notes, applicant contribution and value-for-money case are developed alongside the workplan so that activities and costs agree.

06

Write and assemble the application

Donor-specific responses, narrative, policies, governance records, evidence, CVs and other annexes are prepared using verified applicant information.

07

Run an independent quality review

A reviewer uses the actual evaluation criteria to test consistency, realism, evidence, safeguarding, value for money, formatting and completeness. A correction log is closed.

08

Control the final submission

After applicant approval, portal entries, file names, formats, signatures, previews and deadline interpretation are verified. Confirmation numbers, emails and final files are saved as submission evidence.

Final 72 hours

Submission is a controlled technical process—not a last-minute upload.

The correct portal, account, deadline interpretation, questions, word limits, file formats, signatures, declarations and evidence of submission are checked before the engagement is closed.

72 hours

Freeze the narrative

Confirm the final requirement matrix and stop uncontrolled rewriting.

48 hours

Complete technical readiness

Finish signatures, conversions, file names, declarations and portal fields.

24 hours

Upload, verify and evidence

Check previews, submit through the correct account and save the confirmation record.

Ethics, ownership & accountability

Professional support with clear limits

We provide research, technical development, quality review and submission-readiness support. We protect confidential information, do not manufacture evidence, do not submit without the applicant’s approval and do not guarantee donor funding. Official call documents and donor rules always take priority.
