Granter sells the AI Grant Consultant, a chat-based AI agent that matches an organisation with public and private funding calls, checks eligibility, drafts and scores applications, and supports reporting after approval.

Built only from Granter's own public pages and, for company basics only, the news sources named beside each fact. Granter has not seen this report. Nothing was tested and no credentials were used. If you are Granter and something here is wrong or missing, the correction will be made and dated, and you can claim the card to add evidence.

The agentic solutions

One card per solution. Each level is computed from the evidence by a published rule; a dimension with nothing public reads "not yet evidenced", which is not a no. A card rates a product as documented, not anyone's deployment of it.

AI Grant Consultant

Chat-based agent, onboarded with the organisation's details and past applications, that matches funding calls, checks eligibility and admissibility, drafts applications section by section with playbooks, scores drafts with an Evaluator, and supports post-approval reporting. The user submits the application.

Our reading

The shape. Granter's AI Grant Consultant reads A2 · R1 · C1 · O1 (Exploring). It is a chat-based agent, onboarded with an organisation's details and past applications, that matches funding calls, checks eligibility, drafts applications section by section and scores drafts with an Evaluator. Its outputs are suggestions: users review and approve them before any submission or decision, and the user submits the application. It works in one domain, public and private funding at regional, national and EU level.

Where the evidence is strongest. The privacy policy, last updated on 9 November 2026, carries much of the card: it states what the platform is for, says AI-generated content is presented as such inside the platform, and says the platform does not take decisions about a person on its own. Named pilots show the agent in use: at Fidelidade two agents, one per entity, are live and used to find calls and start drafts, and Super Bock Group prepared and submitted an FCT application with it. Three Portuguese Navy units are evaluating it; the Navy figures (over 200 opportunities added to a defence grants database, first drafts from two weeks to two hours) are Granter's own.

A balanced card. The card carries the balanced badge: Control and Openness each sit within one level of Autonomy. The agent suggests and a person approves, and the approval is written down in the same policy that states the purpose.

What would move it. Autonomy 3: a page showing the agent executing an action itself, such as submitting through an official channel, with a person consulted on exceptions; older text on the blog marks automated submission as coming soon, and the current FAQ says the user submits. Reach 2: a documented connector to a tool or system outside the platform. Control 2: a public list of what the agent can reach, beside the approval already documented. Openness 2: a page on the agent's limits and known failure cases, or a list of the models it runs on.

Seen, and not counted. The privacy policy names four providers and says the models run on Microsoft Azure in EU regions, but it names no model, so it is not a model list. The caps on applications per plan are commercial limits, not the agent's limits, and the breach-notification clause is a GDPR duty, not a channel for the agent's errors. Marketing figures such as 3000+ companies and EUR 30M in grants submitted are Granter's own and are not counted.

What would move it

The graph

The company, its people and the stories on the left; each solution, the captured sources behind its card, the indicators those sources evidence and the provisions of the instruments those indicators touch, to the right. "Touched" never means "complies".

The evidence

How this report was made

A researcher-assessor gathered and captured the sources and mapped the evidence to indicators, without assigning a level. A challenger argued against every level three and four and every doubtful credit. The deterministic scorer computed the levels and the gate checked the rules. A card appears here only after two rounds of review and a sign-off by agents that did not write it (the team's workflow); AI Grant Consultant: reviewed in 5 rounds, signed off by gamma.approve@web-summit.dinis on 2026-11-10. A person's sign-off of the series is still to come.

The vault

Every capture, the dossier, both assessors' mappings, the challenger's notes and this report's data are in a public sgit vault (8fffssyc). Read key:
