🗳️ Last Week’s Poll Results Are In...
We asked:
“What hurts EU proposals the most?”
🔍 Here’s how you voted:
Too many buzzwords: 18%
Weak English structure: 24%
No clear impact logic: 30%
Poor evaluator alignment: 28%
✅ And the correct answer?
Poor evaluator alignment.
It's the hidden killer — because most applicants never take the time to study the actual scoring rubric or the internal guidelines evaluators are trained with.
You could have the most impactful project in the world…
But if it doesn’t align with the evaluation logic, you’re losing points before anyone even reads your methodology.
That’s why I built SmartProposalAI — to simulate what evaluators see and flag the gaps before you submit.
📩 Want to test your proposal? The free trial is still open this month → reply to this email or send your draft.
