Pipeline ·

Quick Add by URL
Paste any grant URL. AI mode ON → auto-ingest. AI OFF → just saves the URL.

LLC Profiles

Each LLC has its own profile. AI uses the active LLC's profile when vetting and drafting. Rename any LLC anytime (especially the 4th slot).

Stored in your browser only. Get a key at console.anthropic.com → API keys. $5 min top-up.

Export · Manual CRM Sync

Tonight: export your pipeline as CSV (Google Sheets), JSON (full backup), or Markdown (Google Docs / Notion). Upload to your Google Drive manually.
Future Path C deploy: Khan will wire this to auto-sync to Google Sheets so you, Khan, and any management person see the same live CRM.

📊 CSV for Google Sheets

Tabular format. 11 columns: LLC, Name, Funder, Amount, Deadline, Status, Fit Score, Apply URL, Notes, Added, Last Updated. Open in Google Sheets via File → Import.

💾 JSON Full Backup

Complete data — all grants, drafts, vetting reports, profiles. Use this to back up before clearing browser data or moving to another machine.

📝 Markdown for Google Docs

One .md file with every grant's drafted application. Open in Google Docs / Notion / VS Code. Paste sections into the real application forms.

📥 Restore from JSON Backup

Replace all current data with a previous JSON backup (e.g. from another browser, machine, or Khan).

🎯 Google Drive Strategy

Recommended folder structure in Google Drive (create manually for now):
📁 Grant Engine (root)
├─ 📁 HVAC Contractor LLC → spreadsheet + per-grant Google Doc
├─ 📁 Real Estate LLC → spreadsheet + per-grant Google Doc
├─ 📁 Marketing Agency LLC → spreadsheet + per-grant Google Doc
└─ 📁 [renameable] LLC → spreadsheet + per-grant Google Doc

Workflow: export CSV per LLC, paste into the LLC's sheet. Export Markdown per LLC, paste into the per-grant Doc. Share each folder with Khan/management. Path C deploy will automate all of this.

Scraping · Honest Reality

The Ingest URL button uses a public CORS proxy. Some sites work great; some block scrapers. Here's the honest picture so you know what to expect.

✅ Scraping Works Reliably

⚠️ Hit or Miss (have manual fallback ready)

❌ Won't Work (and the fix)

When Scraping Fails — The Manual Path Still Works

Even if Ingest URL fails on a site, you can: (1) open the grant page yourself, (2) copy the full description text, (3) click Edit on the grant in your pipeline, (4) paste the description into Notes, (5) click Vet Fit and AI Draft — both work using just the Notes field. Scraping is convenience, not a hard requirement.
