Your proposal's toughest test
before you submit

Ruthless Evaluator simulates how your proposal will be assessed. It checks alignment with the Work Programme, the official template, and the criteria used in the evaluation form, enhanced by structured review logic informed by real-world EU funding experience. It flags issues that may cost you points and provides actionable recommendations before submission.
