Overview

This skill produces excellence-grade EU grant narratives, budget justifications, and evaluator scoring diagnostics designed to reach and sustain ≥4.6/5. It integrates verifiable evidence, EU cost compliance rules, and constitutional framing to feed grant assembly and client review workflows. Outputs include structured markdown narratives, EU-ready budget spreadsheets, validation logs, and prioritized rewrite recommendations.

How this skill works

The tool generates narrative sections (Excellence, Impact, Implementation) from project metadata and UBOS templates, embedding Oracle-validated citations for every quantitative claim. It assembles EU-compliant budgets with line-item justifications and runs eligibility checks. A scoring simulator models evaluator feedback, highlights score gaps, and produces targeted optimization steps and regenerated text snippets until target scores are met.

When to use it

• During phased grant assembly for drafting narratives (Phase 2) and budgets (Phase 3).
• After an initial scoring simulation to address weak criteria and raise average scores.
• When rapid turnaround is needed for consultancy deliveries or client updates.
• Before submission to ensure all quantitative claims are Oracle-validated and budgets meet EU rules.
• When integrating outputs into downstream workflows like grant assemblers or communications hubs.

Best practices

• Provide up-to-date opportunity metadata and project WP details before generation.
• Run the scoring simulator early and iterate in short cycles until ≥4.6 average is reached.
• Record Oracle evidence for every numeric claim and resolve unverifiable items immediately.
• Keep updates small and targeted; use the optimize routine with explicit feedback files.
• Validate budget eligibility against EU cost categories and Treasury cascade allocations.

Example use cases

• Generate an Excellence section with cited facts for a Horizon 2025 call and export metadata for reviewers.
• Build a full budget spreadsheet and justification for a €50M proposal with eligibility checks.
• Simulate evaluator scoring for Impact and get a ranked list of improvements to reach target score.
• Iteratively optimize an Implementation narrative after receiving reviewer feedback.
• Validate all quantitative claims before final submission and log Oracle references for auditability.
