Reordering sections, keeping track of evaluation criteria, and maintaining version control across teams is cumbersome.</li> <li><strong>Generic Project Management Tools</strong>: Breaking a grant proposal into fragmented issue tickets loses the narrative cohesion, academic depth, and hierarchical flow demanded by grant evaluators.</li> </ul> <p>This gap leaves teams exhausted by administrative friction instead of focusing on their core innovations. Kilavuz was created to provide a unified, structured workspace tailored specifically to funding proposals.</p> <h2 id="our-core-design-principles">Our Core Design Principles</h2> <p>We built Kilavuz around three core user principles:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Hierarchy and Content Safety</strong>: Grant questions are inherently multi-layered. When reordering sections or moving question trees, Kilavuz maintains structural relationships. If you delete a section, Kilavuz protects you from accidental data loss.</li> <li><strong>User-Governed AI</strong>: Artificial intelligence should empower domain experts, not replace them. Kilavuz translates project notes and technical goals into clear, criteria-aligned proposal prose while leaving complete editorial control in your hands.</li> <li><strong>No Lock-in Subscriptions</strong>: Grant writing is cyclical—teams apply intensively during specific call windows. We opted for a fair, pay-as-you-go credit system rather than forcing recurring monthly commitments during inactive months.</li> </ol> <h2 id="built-for-multilingual-grants">Built for Multilingual Grants</h2> <p>To serve national research programs while fully supporting international frameworks like Horizon Europe and Eureka, Kilavuz provides full bilingual capabilities in Turkish and English with a single click.</p> <h2 id="the-path-forward">The Path Forward</h2> <p>We continue to develop Kilavuz to be more than a document editor—a dependable, intelligent partner throughout your proposal lifecycle.</p> <p>We welcome your feedback and experiences at <code dir="auto">hello@kilavuz.app</code>.</p>kilavuzproductstory
