GRI — Grant Readiness Index for Startups
An independent expert assessment of grant readiness (Grant Readiness Index, GRI) that checks eligibility and fit with grant programs, strength of team and partnerships, budget quality and work plan — and shows what to improve to win grants faster
What you get
- GRI readiness level (likelihood and readiness to secure a grant)
- Recommended grant tracks/programs with a concise fit map
- Expert recommendations for next steps to secure grants
How we assess (GRI structure)
- Clarity of the formulated idea
- Uniqueness of the solution / idea / technology
- TRL readiness classification
- Team competencies for grant delivery
- Development plan quality
- Partner support strength
- End-user profile fit (product/technology)
- Alignment with active grant program goals
- Scalability (regions, segments, countries)
- Budget quality and allocation logic
Why it matters

- Faster pre-screen: fewer grant-manager iterations, more relevant submissions
- Higher grant chances: highlights critical gaps and how to close them
- Budget discipline: clear categories and allocation logic
