The problem

A proposal that reads like AI wrote it loses on the first reviewer pass.

Funders rate proposals against a published rubric. Most submissions don't address the rubric — they address the topic. Reviewers score what's in front of them, not what the writer hoped they'd infer.

The result: well-funded organizations submit thoughtful proposals that get marked down on technical grounds. Missing sections. Off-rubric narratives. Budget lines without justification. Logic models that don't trace to outcomes.

QS Grants doesn't write proposals. It builds them — to a rubric. Before a word of narrative gets drafted, we map the funder's scoring criteria, published priorities, and compliance requirements into a structured profile.

Each application section gets built against that map. Budget lines carry justification columns traceable to program requirements. The pre-submission pass catches what drafting misses. Reviewers find traceable logic, not assertions.

The 6-stage pipeline

Every proposal we ship runs through six audited stages.

Adapted from the Quantum Tool-Belt 8-atom Master Sequence. Two human gates. Four AI-augmented production stages. Nothing ships until the final stage clears.

Stage 01

Intake

Structured form captures the funder, the program, prior reports, financials, and your team's track record. 30-minute scoping call confirms feasibility before the timer starts.

Stage 02

Evidence synthesis

AI digests prior reports, impact data, and program documentation into a structured evidence base — the foundation every section will cite back to.

Stage 03

Rubric mapping

Funder's scoring criteria, published priorities, and section structure are extracted into a coverage map. Every required element is named and assigned before drafting.

Stage 04

Narrative draft

Each section is drafted against its mapped criteria. Budget narrative carries line-item justifications. Logic model traces inputs to outcomes against the funder's framework.

Stage 05

Adversarial review

A skeptical-reviewer pass surfaces objection points before the real reviewers see them. Rubric gaps, unstated assumptions, and compliance oversights get flagged and closed.

Stage 06

Ship-ready package

Final consolidation in the funder's required format — Word, PDF, online-portal-ready text blocks. Plus rubric-match audit and modular reuse pack for your next cycle.

  • D1
    Full narrative draftExecutive summary → evaluation plan → budget justification, in the funder's required structure.
  • D2
    Rubric-match auditEvery scoring criterion the funder lists, mapped to the section that addresses it. Shows your coverage before submission.
  • D3
    Budget narrativeLine items justified. Indirect-cost logic explained. Sustainability framed against funder's evaluation criteria.
  • D4
    Logic model / theory-of-changeWhen the funder asks for one — or when you want one. Inputs → activities → outputs → outcomes, traceable end to end.
  • D5
    Modular reuse packThe sections you can recycle into the next 3-5 submissions without rewriting from scratch. Standard and Premium tiers.
  • D6
    Submission-ready formatWord, PDF, or online-portal text blocks — sized to the funder's word limits, formatted to their style guide.
What you keep

Yours forever. No subscription.

The narrative is yours. The rubric-match audit is yours. The reuse pack is yours. The funder-profile template is yours. After delivery, nothing in QS Grants depends on a continued retainer to remain useful to your organization.

The next time the same funder opens a cycle — or a similar funder publishes a similar rubric — you start from a template, not a blank document.

"Funders who audit find traceable logic, not assertions."
Pricing

Three tiers. Fixed price. Scoped on intake.

Each tier is rubric-mapped before scoping. If your application doesn't fit cleanly into a tier, we name the gap and price it on the intake call. No surprises after the timer starts.

The setup

A nonprofit advocacy organization applied to 3–4 federal grants per quarter. Each application consumed 60+ staff hours — spread across program staff, a grant writer, and a compliance reviewer — with no reusable structure between grants. The process started from scratch every cycle.

The pipeline runs every stage with structured handoffs. Human review is gated at intake and at the final package. The compliance review stage caught a previously-missed eligibility documentation requirement on the first cycle alone — a failure mode that would have rejected the submission on technical grounds before a reviewer read a word of narrative.

Reusable evidence base. Each grant cycle now improves the next: the funder profile, the rubric map, the budget structure, and the impact narratives compound across submissions.

Frequently asked

What organizations ask before they send in the form.

Can you guarantee my grant gets funded?
No, and nobody honest can. Funders make funding decisions based on dozens of factors we don't control — your org's track record, the funder's priorities that cycle, the strength of the other applicants, political winds. What we guarantee is a proposal that rubric-matches the funder's criteria, reads like a real organization wrote it, and won't lose on technical grounds — missing sections, miscounted word limits, off-topic narrative. That's the part you hire us for. The rest is the funder's job.
My organization is new — no funded grants yet. Will this still work?
Yes — with framing. Newer organizations win by emphasizing the team's prior experience (carried over from other contexts), the urgency of the problem, and the specificity of the plan. We lean into all three in the narrative. Many funders have programs specifically for first-time applicants; if yours does, we surface it during scoping.
What if the RFP is technical or scientific and outside your domain?
For research grants in specialized fields (NIH R-series, NSF, hard-science foundations) we work alongside your principal investigator — we structure, edit, rubric-match, and run the adversarial review, but the technical substance comes from your team. For program grants, capacity-building grants, and most foundation proposals, we draft fully.
How is the 48-hour turnaround possible?
The pipeline. Stages 02 through 05 are AI-augmented under human review; stage 01 and stage 06 are human-gated. The active human review time on a standard application is 4–6 hours, not 48. The 48-hour window includes evidence synthesis, rubric mapping, drafting, adversarial review, and your one revision pass. Federal RFPs at Premium tier extend to 72 hours to accommodate compliance-template setup.
Who owns the final proposal and reuse materials?
You do. Everything we ship — narrative, rubric-match audit, budget narrative, logic model, reuse pack — is yours, in editable formats, on delivery. No subscription, no retainer, no platform lock-in. The next time you apply to the same funder or a similar one, you start from a template, not a blank document.
Can I cancel after I submit the form?
Yes, anytime before the scoping call. After the scoping call confirms feasibility and you authorize payment, the timer starts and we're on the clock. If we determine during scoping that the application doesn't fit a 48-hour window, we'll either propose a custom scope or recommend a different path — no charge for the intake conversation either way.
