The 6-Dimension Eligibility Score
Every grant GrantBob surfaces carries a single 0–100 number. It answers one question before you write a word: does this funder actually fund a business like yours? The score is built from the six dimensions reviewers check first — the same six that quietly disqualify most applications.
The six dimensions
Stage & maturity fit
Pre-revenue, growth-stage, or established — does this grant actually fund businesses like yours?
Geographic eligibility
Country, state, region, and rural/urban filters mapped against the funder's official scope.
Industry & focus area
NAICS codes, sector themes, and funder priorities matched to your real activity.
Applicant type
For-profit, social enterprise, sole-prop, women/veteran/minority-owned — every official applicant code checked.
Financial thresholds
Revenue band, employee count, and match-funding requirements verified against your numbers.
Project & deliverable fit
Does what you actually want to do match what this grant is allowed to pay for?
Reading your score
75–100
Strong fit
You clear the hard criteria. Worth drafting now.
50–74
Partial fit
One or two dimensions need evidence or a workaround.
0–49
Weak fit
A blocking dimension fails. Spend the week elsewhere.
Why it earns your trust
The score is calculated against your saved business profile and the funder's published criteria — not a vibe from a chatbot. Where a dimension can't be confirmed, GrantBob marks it partial and tells you what evidence is missing, so you always know which part of the number to interrogate.
