AI grant audit trails for source-cited funding reviews
An AI grant audit trail records what the model reviewed, which source facts it used, what it produced and whether a human accepted, rejected or revised the output.
Teams deciding where to spend application time
AI-risk-aware charities, SMEs, consultants and trustees reviewing how automated funding analysis is controlled.

Review workflow
What FundingLens helps you do
Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.
Record the task type, source inputs, model route, prompt version, output, citation set, retry state, estimated cost and fallback path.
Separate verified funder facts from model inference so summaries and fit reasons never overwrite the source record.
Use review states such as needs review, approved, rejected or superseded so teams know whether AI output is ready to use.
Readiness checks
- AI call has source URLs and input snapshot.
- Model, task type and fallback path recorded.
- Budget estimate and retry state visible.
- Output includes citations and caveats.
- Human review status is stored before customer-facing use.
Eligibility caveats
- An audit trail supports review; it is not legal or regulatory assurance by itself.
- AI output should not invent funder requirements or remove uncertainty.
- Uncapped production AI runs should not be used for funding alerts.
