Checking grant eligibility
This produces an assessment against published criteria. It does not award anything.
Work criterion by criterion
For each published criterion: met, not met, or cannot tell from what was supplied — and for the third, exactly which evidence would settle it.
Separate hard from assessed
Hard criteria are pass or fail: the deadline, the geography, the applicant type. Assessed criteria are scored by a panel, and this never scores them — it assembles the evidence the panel will read.
Report
Hard criteria first with a clear pass or fail on each, then evidence gaps ordered by whether they block. If a hard criterion fails, say so at the top: the applicant is better served by knowing immediately.
Always check
Deadline, duplicate applications from the same body, and whether the applicant has an unacquitted prior grant.
Never
Interpret a criterion, apply discretion, or advise how to phrase an application to qualify.
