The evidence standard

A finding should be explainable. Its limits should be visible.

Incentive Tower connects every preliminary conclusion to the facts, documents and source material behind it, so your team can check the reasoning rather than trust it.

From project to finding

A traceable basis for every next step.

Material findings show their supporting evidence and review state.

01Project facts

Location, applicant, scope, equipment, cost and timing.

02Project evidence

Proposals, specifications, invoices and ownership records.

03Program requirements

The conditions a supported program actually sets.

04Authoritative sources

The rules and guidance a requirement comes from.

05Explainable finding

A preliminary view you can trace and challenge.

Five preliminary states

Clarity includes saying what we don’t know.

A preliminary match is never a government eligibility determination.

Preliminary

Strong preliminary match

Current evidence supports several relevant preliminary requirements. Remaining requirements still need review.

Preliminary

Potential match

The opportunity may be relevant, subject to further project facts and evidence.

Open

Additional information needed

A material fact or document is missing.

Open

Professional confirmation required

A tax, legal or technical question requires the appropriate accountable professional.

Not supported

Not supported by current information

The current record does not support pursuing the opportunity on that basis.

Accountability stays explicit

The applicant remains the applicant.

Incentive Tower supports the process. It does not replace the people and authorities responsible for the outcome.

Qualified professionals

CPAs, attorneys and engineers keep responsibility for determinations within their disciplines.

Program administrators

Agencies and other administrators decide eligibility, approval and award under their own rules.

Project owners

Applicants confirm project facts, approve materials and authorize submissions.

Before your next incentive application deadline

Nothing off the radar.

Bring one live project or incentive application. Leave with a clear brief, the questions that matter and a defined next step.
