Big news in one week
A new evaluation experience is about to launch, designed to replicate the intensity and standards of real expert assessment.
A shift is coming in how proposals are prepared and tested:
Something is coming. And they are ready.
They don’t guess.
They don’t improvise.
They evaluate just like the real thing.
Sharp minds.
Relentless scrutiny.
No room for empty claims.
What this means for applicants
⏳ One week.
Stay sharp.
Preparation is no longer only about writing a strong proposal.
It is about surviving evaluation before submission.
Why this matters
Better to meet Ruthless Evaluator before submission than inside the ESR.
