## 1. Non-Profit Sector Context & Problem Definition

### The Public Grant Challenge in Spain & Europe
Non-profit organizations manage billions of euros annually in public social funding from national sources (BDNS, BOE, IRPF 0.7%, regional ministries), municipal councils, and European funds (NextGenerationEU, ESF+, ERASMUS+, CERV, Horizon Europe). However, non-profits face major operational bottlenecks:
1. **Manual Ingestion Burden**: Teams waste 30%-50% of fundraising hours searching official gazettes manually.
2. **High Rejection Rates**: 40%+ of grant applications are rejected due to administrative non-compliance, missing solvency documents, or misaligned project scope.
3. **Drafting Time Drain**: Writing technical proposals (Marco Lógico, indicators, risk matrix, budget allocation) requires 20 to 60 hours per application.
4. **Commission Fees**: Traditional grant consultancies charge 15%-20% success fees, taking valuable funds away from social impact.

## 2. FundingQuarry Solution Architecture & Core Modules

FundingQuarry automates the entire public grant lifecycle with five integrated modules:

### Module 1: Automated Official Gazette Ingestion (`/features/grant-detector`)
- Continuous daily scraping and structured data normalization of BDNS, BOE, DOGC, PLACSP, SEDIA, and TED.
- Categorization by funding body (national, regional, municipal, EU), eligible entity type, deadline, budget, and co-financing rules.

### Module 2: RAG Semantic Fit Scoring Engine (`/features/ai-fit-scoring`)
- Evaluates an NGO's historical background, statutes, and previous project portfolio against official call specification clauses.
- Outputs an objective **Fit Score (0-100)** with technical solvency analysis, missing requirements alerts, and win probability.

### Module 3: AI Technical Proposal Generator (`/features/proposal-generator`)
- Generates complete, fully compliant technical proposal drafts (.docx Word format).
- Includes Logical Framework Matrix (Marco Lógico), objectives hierarchy, quantitative impact indicators, gender/environmental alignment clauses, and itemized budget lines.
- Operates via Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) mapping every generated paragraph directly to official call clauses, guaranteeing zero hallucinations.

### Module 4: Grant Project Pipeline & Justification (`/features/project-management`)
- Specialized Kanban pipeline tracking grant stages: *Discovery*, *Drafting*, *Internal Review*, *Submitted*, *Awarded/Granted*, *Cure Period*, and *Financial Justification*.
- Invoicing and expense allocation tracking per grant budget line.

### Module 5: Executive Analytics & Board Reporting (`/features/grant-reporting`)
- One-click executive summaries for Boards of Trustees and Executive Directors.
- Real-time KPIs: win rate, total secured funding, average award size, application turnaround times, and team capacity.
