## Example request

Our proposal for the foundation’s early-career program is due in 12 days. Compare our draft in Google Docs with the call’s requirements PDF, including page limits, required sections, budget justification rules, and formatting. List every gap, draft a timeline that works back from the deadline with who owes each piece, and draft a reminder to my co-investigators for my approval.

## Workflow

1. Read the call and turn its requirements into a checklist.
2. Compare the draft with each requirement and list the gaps.
3. Draft a timeline and reminders for the people who owe sections.

## Result

A requirements checklist, the gaps in the current draft, and a schedule to close them.

## Human review

You and your co-investigators decide what is submitted, and you approve every reminder.

## Collaboration

Co-investigators get their sections and deadlines in the shared proposal project.
