Guideline lock
We confirm which published guidelines, terms of reference, or checklist govern the filing. If you have an informal interpretation from a programme officer, we note it separately and never let it overwrite the written rules.
Method
A reading discipline, not a template
Every audit follows the same sequence so findings stay comparable across readers — while the criteria always come from the guidelines of your specific call.
Book a scoping call
Pack intake
Files are logged against the mandatory list. Missing mandatory sections pause the clock. Optional annexes that are referenced in the narrative but absent are marked as evidence risks, not as filing blockers, until you decide.
Cross-reading
Narrative claims are checked against budgets, results frameworks, letters, and CVs. We look for contradictions in geography, staffing, timelines, and partner roles — the places reviewers habitually probe.
Findings memo
Risks are written with page or section references and a severity mark. The repair list is ordered so a team with three days left does not start with cosmetic edits.
Briefing
The auditor who read the pack walks your team through the highest risks. Questions are welcome; rewrites during the call are not the goal. You leave with owners and a sequence.

What this method refuses
We do not score applications with proprietary rubrics that ignore the funder’s own criteria. We do not promise awards. We do not deliver anonymous PDFs written by someone who never opened your annexes.
If your need is drafting, we will say so and point you elsewhere. If your need is an audit, choose the engagement that matches the risk in front of you.
