Your prompt
Assemble the application. [the project] Funder: [the funder] Write to their CRITERIA, in their order, using their words. Reviewers score against a form, and an excellent proposal organised differently loses points on things it actually addressed. Lead with the question and why it matters now. Most applications open with background and lose the reviewer before the contribution. Build the budget line by line with a justification for each. Budgets are where these are lost: an unexplained figure reads as padding, and a total that does not match the workplan reads as carelessness. Be specific about what happens if the main approach fails. Reviewers look for it.

Why this works
Budgets are where applications are lost: an unexplained figure reads as padding and a total that does not match the workplan reads as carelessness. This justifies line by line, and writes to the funder's criteria in their order, because reviewers score against a form.
