**Working browser surface:** [Project templates & workflows — overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/labs.html#templates-workflows>) — Create a local project from this template and validate its forms. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

Source-proposed guide paths are references, not proof that those paths resolve.

## Operating sequence

- Create the project record and assign a project owner.

- Capture the grant opportunity and preserve its source locator, date, and requirements.

- Record the external deadline, timezone, internal buffer, and workback assumptions.

- Define scope, exclusions, required sections, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.

- Create milestones for research, outline, first draft, evidence review, budget review, final review, packaging, and closure.

- Assign one accountable owner and any reviewers or approvers to each milestone.

- Record dependencies and identify missing information, evidence, signatures, or attachments.

- Draft the application in the Paper surface and link each section to requirements and evidence.

- Track tasks and deadlines in To-dos; use Agenda only to draft and review schedule changes.

- Run an evidence review for traceability, source quality, permissions, and unsupported claims.

- Run content, budget, eligibility, accessibility, formatting, and consistency reviews.

- Submit an approval request with the exact package version and preserve the decision receipt.

- Package the final reviewed version locally or as a held export; do not send or submit externally.

- Close the project by recording completion, held actions, unresolved risks, and explicit non-submission status.

## Handoff boundary

- Treating a local prototype route as proof of a connected grant provider or submission workflow.

- Inventing eligibility, deadline, funder requirements, budget rules, or evidence when the source record does not contain them.

- Submitting externally, sending messages, publishing content, or changing provider records without explicit human action and verified receipt.

- Losing timezone information or silently changing a deadline during workback calculation.

- Marking work complete without evidence, reviewer receipt, required attachment, or accountable owner.

- Allowing unsupported claims or stale evidence into the final package.

- Exposing private application materials through search, public documentation, PointGuard context, or customer-facing surfaces.

- Using inaccessible form controls or validation that obscures missing requirements and failure states.

- Treating estimates, drafts, or held exports as final application artifacts.

- Creating doorway documentation URLs or duplicate pages without distinct useful content.
