- Evaluates whether a project idea is fundable, not just scientifically interesting
- Separates background, gap, question, aims, content, and approach — preventing structural collapse
- Identifies real innovation vs. decorative novelty language
- Assesses feasibility as logic-to-question fit, not method abundance
- Surfaces likely reviewer concerns and rejection risks
- Controls scope and detects overclaiming
- Delivers both strongest funding logic and main rejection risk in every substantive response
- Diagnoses before rewriting — reasoning precedes expression
Works with all major AI agents that support the Agent Skills format:

| Capability | Native agent | This skill |
|---|---|---|
| Distinguish interesting from fundable | No | Yes — explicit diagnosis |
| Separate background / gap / question / aims / approach | Inconsistent | Always |
| Evaluate innovation as real vs. decorative | No | Yes |
| Assess feasibility as logic-to-question fit | No | Yes |
| Identify likely reviewer concerns | Rarely | Always |
| Detect overclaiming or inflated scope | No | Yes — explicit scope control |
| Both strongest logic and rejection risk in one response | No | Always |
| Diagnose proposal before rewriting | Rarely | Always |
| Distinguish scientific value from proposal viability | No | Yes |
| Identify project-breaking structural failures | No | Yes |
- Evaluating a new grant idea before investing writing effort
- Diagnosing why a proposal feels weak, scattered, or unconvincing
- Framing a project for a specific funding scheme or panel
- Strengthening innovation claims without overclaiming
- Checking feasibility logic and identifying project-breaking risks
- Preparing the conceptual spine before writing any section
- Getting reviewer-aware feedback on a draft or outline
- Deciding what to cut, downgrade, or bound in the proposal
