Eligibility

Instant screening against your program criteria. Non-competitive applications flagged in seconds.

Document checks

Validation, compliance flags, budget alignment, external data lookups — across every attachment.

Assessment

Each application scored against your adaptive rubric. Evidence linked to every flag.

Review

Your team sees a clear, structured view. Change any score with a single comment.

Decision

Human judgment, with the mechanical work already done. Full audit trail.

Methodical

Every score links to the exact passage that generated it. Every flag is traceable. Your team sees the reasoning and can change anything.

"Very accurate at picking the ones that were not competitive."
Senior Assessor, Department of State Development

Fast.

Assessment time drops from 20 minutes to 20 seconds. A disqualifying issue on page 14 of a supporting document — flagged before your reviewer opens the file.

"Just freeing up my time to do literally anything else would be amazing."
Grants Program Lead

Adaptive.

Your rubric learns. As assessors adjust scores and add reasoning, Optible calibrates to how your team actually thinks. The rubric improves with every review session.

"Within a few sessions, we're getting where you need it to be."

What they're telling us.

"It would make rapid response grant making
so much slicker and so much faster."

"There's not really anything on the market like it.
You're not trying to build a new grants management
system — you're focused on the review process."
-Program Director, Private Foundation
"As a technologist, love it. This is where we need
to be in foundation space."

"Something we can add on top — that's something
we've been chatting about a lot internally."
