COLD✧ v8research / grant-managementWestern Europe16 Mar 2026

One-Liner

An AI-powered tool for EU research offices and SME consortia to strengthen the strategic-fit narrative in Horizon Europe proposals, reducing dependency on expensive grant-writing consultants.

AI Thinking Process

Horizon Europe WP reduced 33% in text, less-prescriptive calls favour strategic-fit narrative over compliance-to-template. Research Office Director at mid-sized EU university pays €8-25K per proposal to consultants reusing stale templates.

G005: AI fills Horizon proposal templates for research offices — textbook AI-fills-form-for-profession. G003 death check.
