Exact rules for each funding call.

What “supported” means

More than reading one guidance PDF.

Before we support a scheme, we test its official rules. We also check that the main findings are accurate.

Official rules

The documents for that call

Guidance, templates, forms, portal rules, updates, and official help.

Test examples

Known good and bad cases

Clean applications, added errors, and past review comments help us test each check.

Clear limits

What the check cannot decide

Unknowns and judgement calls stay visible and go to a person.
