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.

01

Route tasks by purpose: source summarisation, fit reasoning, caveat extraction, draft notes and review-pack generation can use different model settings.

02

Keep cost caps, usage logs, retry status, model choices and fallback output in the AI audit table.

03

Do not run uncapped production analysis; source facts must remain separate from AI inference and human review status.

Readiness checks

  • Task-specific model route configured.
  • Cost cap and retry policy recorded.
  • Source citations included in output.
  • Deterministic fallback available.
  • Human review state required before alerts.

Eligibility caveats

  • Provider routing improves flexibility but does not guarantee availability or perfect output.
  • Cheap models still need task-specific prompts and regression checks.
  • FundingLens should not run uncapped AI jobs in production.
