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.
Check whether the competition is business-led, collaborative, academic, public-sector or charity-accessible before scoring fit.
Record project scope, eligible costs, grant-claiming partners, collaboration rules, subsidy constraints and project duration from the official competition page.
Treat duplicate submissions, previous funding, answer length, late submission and out-of-scope warnings as application-readiness risks.
Readiness checks
- UK business registration and lead-applicant rules checked.
- Collaboration and partner-cost rules understood.
- Project scope and innovation level match the competition.
- Eligible costs and funding intensity are checked.
- Submission deadline and account setup are complete before the final day.
Eligibility caveats
- FundingLens explains fit signals, eligibility caveats and next steps; it does not promise funding success or application approval.
- Always check the official funder page before acting because deadlines, match-funding rules and eligible costs can change.
- AI output stays separate from verified source facts and needs human review before it is used in an application.
