The Feature
Showdown.
Every row is a real pain point from real grant writers. By the time you reach the bottom, the decision feels like arithmetic — not faith.
Template Formatting
Re-format margins, fonts, and headers for each funder's unique requirements. 45-minute slog per submission.
Template Formatting
Funder-specific templates auto-apply on export. Every margin, header, and font size correct on first render.
Budget Reconciliation
Cross-reference narrative, budget narrative, and spreadsheet manually. One formula error kills the entire submission.
Budget Reconciliation
Live budget engine auto-calculates indirect rates, matches every line to the narrative paragraph it supports.
Outcome Tracking
Write SMART objectives from scratch each RFP cycle. Copy-paste errors corrupt your logic model year over year.
Outcome Tracking
Logic model auto-populates from your project brief. SMART outputs are measurable, time-bound, and funder-aligned.
Compliance Narrative
Hunt through 40-page RFP PDFs for every required assurance statement. Miss one → immediate disqualification.
Compliance Narrative
Compliance parser reads the RFP, flags every required section, and drafts your assurance language automatically.
Version Control
Email chains of "Budget_FINAL_v7_REVISED_ACTUAL.xlsx" — no one knows which draft the ED approved.
Version Control
Single source of truth. Every revision timestamped, every approval logged, full audit trail for federal submissions.
Appendix Cross-Referencing
Manually number every exhibit and update every in-text reference when you add or remove a document at midnight.
Appendix Cross-Referencing
Appendices auto-number. Add Exhibit G at 11:47 p.m. — every cross-reference in the narrative updates instantly.

We submitted 14 foundation proposals in Q4. Without Catalyst, that would have required two additional consultants. Every budget reconciled automatically — I haven't opened a spreadsheet in six weeks.

The compliance parser caught a missing assurance statement on our USAID application at 11:42 p.m. That would have been an automatic disqualification. The grant was $380,000.
