Smart Fill scores every section against the funder's rubric and re-optimizes until every criterion clears its maximum.
Scoring rubric
Draft · §1 Specific Aims
We propose a software platform that addresses three specific aims: (1) reduce average grant-application drafting time from 48 hours to under 4, (2) raise the rate at which applicants meet every scoring criterion to ≥ 95 %, and (3) make grant capital accessible to first-time applicants without consultant fees…
Auto-optimizing · round 2 of 3
Smart Fill in 30 seconds
Smart Fill reads the complete RFP or scholarship prompt, maps every scoring criterion to your organization's data, drafts each section, and auto-optimizes up to three rounds until every criterion scores maximum points. You see what changed, why, and how it maps to the rubric.
Draft · annotated against rubric
Match score is computed from your profile, eligibility, and the funder's historical behavior. We hide the grants you can't win so you spend time on the ones you can.
