Confidence shows how sure Grant is about its call. A source button shows where a claim comes from. Grant also says when it does not know a fact. If your plan is Pilot, Grant is locked.

What you see on screen

Label on screenWhat it means
Confidence with five dotsFive dots lit means high. Three lit means medium. One lit means low.
A small dot named "confirmed"Grant checked the fact against a record.
A small dot named "stated in the solicitation"The notice says it. Grant did not check it elsewhere.
A small dot named "I don't know yet"Grant has no evidence. This is missing evidence.
A source buttonClick it to open the source in a View only window.
Section coverageA list of the notice sections that Grant read. Each shows Complete, Findings, Incomplete, Missing or another state.

UCF means Uniform Contract Format. It is the standard layout of a long government solicitation.

How to check a claim

Click the source button next to a claim. Grant shows the passage from the notice, with the lines around it. If Grant has only a section, it says nothing is highlighted. If Grant has no passage, the window says so. If the window has a link to the official posting, it shows the link.

If the window cannot show the passage but Grant used that source, the window says to treat the claim as unconfirmed.

Example

Grant says a bond is required. A source button shows the passage that names the bond. You read the passage and see the limit. You decide if your business can meet it.

What Grant cannot know

  • Grant cannot know who else bids. It says so on its introduction card.
  • Grant cannot read what you did not add. A low confidence often means the business record has gaps.
  • Sometimes Grant cannot reach a source. Then it says "I couldn't reach" and names the source. The call can be less sure.
  • Grant says it does not state a fact if it cannot show where it came from.

✅ What to do next: If a claim looks wrong, read Report a summary or source that looks wrong. To answer Grant's open questions, read Ask Grant a question and answer its follow-up.
