Nothing about the project changes between the first and second submission.

An application goes into the funding portal with an inconsistent cost plan. The approving authority sends it back, and both sponsor and funding body work through the entire application a second time.

1returnThe approving authority sends Antrag_Radwegenetz_2026.pdf back to the sponsor unassessed.
2deadlinesThe resubmission deadline starts, while the programme's application deadline keeps running alongside it.
19days to the second submissionThat is how long the sponsor needs before the corrected cost plan is back in the funding portal.

Item 7 of the cost plan costs the sponsor 19 days while the programme's application deadline keeps running. Recalculating before submission avoids the return and makes assessment 40 to 60% faster.

This sequence shows a municipal funding application being returned. The percentage range is the headline figure from this agent's fact sheet and was not measured on this application.

Three steps through the process.

The agent checks completeness, the cost plan and the indicators; whether the project convinces on its merits is for the approving authority to weigh.

Check completeness

The agent opens the application and its attachments and checks them against the guideline's list of attachments. It names each missing attachment individually.

Recalculate the cost plan

The agent recalculates the cost plan items against the stored template. It shows the item where the total stops adding up.

Check the indicators

The agent compares the stated indicators with those in the guideline. The review note is drafted for approval.

What the agent does not do.

It does not approve the application.

It collects findings and assigns them to the relevant attachment. The approving authority decides on the funding.

It does not judge whether a cost estimate is reasonable.

It recalculates the items against the stored template and shows where the total stops adding up. Whether the amount estimated for the route section is justified is for the technical review in the funding procedure to weigh.

It does not have the quotes behind the cost plan items.

The sponsor obtained them and keeps them in its own files. The agent recalculates the items but cannot see where a figure comes from.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Funding Application Check Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “40 to 60% faster assessment” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
