Core Algorithm

70/30 Hybrid Matching

We combine the best of semantic AI understanding with rigorous rule-based eligibility checking. This hybrid approach prevents both false positives and missed opportunities.

70% Semantic Analysis

OpenAI embeddings understand the meaning of your profile and grant descriptions, finding matches based on concepts, not just keywords.

30% Rule-Based Eligibility

Hard filters check organization type, location, funding amount, and other eligibility criteria that semantic matching might miss.
