Grant application: significance as deliverables

One job: make the reader believe the claim is warranted. Every paragraph offers a reason or rules out an alternative.

Task: A significance section full of air.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - scheme and criteria
   - preliminary work
   - deliverables
   - team and facilities
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- significance as who uses it for what
- three checkable deliverables with dates
- risks and fallback paths
- the point reviewers will attack

[Process]
1. Conclusion first, then support
2. One point per paragraph, stated in its first sentence
3. Address alternative explanations and limits
4. Cut sentences that do not advance the argument
5. Check every number has a source

[Output]
Claim, reason, evidence, alternative, limitation.

[Do not]
- No 'obviously' or 'as we all know'
- Never state a fact without a citation
- Do not repeat results in the discussion
- Do not inflate practical implications
