Does Your Application Pass the Logic Test?

Strong ideas fall apart fast when the story doesn’t hang together.

I’ve read a lot of grant applications where each section, on its own, sounds fine. The project seems important. The team looks capable. The budget adds up.

But when you read it as a whole? It doesn’t flow. The logic breaks down.
You’re left thinking:

• “Wait, how did we get here?”

• “Didn’t they just say something else three paragraphs ago?”

• “What exactly is their solution?”

This isn’t about writing quality. It’s about structural clarity.
