Grant compliance without spreadsheet chaos
Grant compliance fails in the gaps: a deliverable lived in someone's head, evidence scattered across folders, and the program lead reconstructing the story under deadline pressure.
One mandate per major grant outcome
Map each funder-facing outcome to a mandate. Under it, commitments for reporting packages, site visits, and program deliverables — with owners and due dates that match the grant calendar.
Artifacts belong on the commitment
Attach the report draft, attendance proof, or evaluation summary where the work lives. When the funder asks, you're opening a record — not searching Slack.
Watch silence before the deadline
Computed health flags quiet commitments weeks out. That's when you can still coach. Spreadsheet check-ins the week before submission only confirm what already went wrong.
