Budget justification and the biosketch

1 · Learn the move · Verified-data override

A budget justification is a document where every number is checkable and someone's job is to check it - which makes it exactly the wrong place for a model's plausible defaults. The override: the model drafts only from your numbers - institutional salary figures, fringe and indirect rates, quotes for equipment, per-unit supply costs from your orders - and every figure it was not given becomes [NEEDS: institutional rate] or [NEEDS: vendor quote], never a typical value. An invented rate in a federal budget is not a typo; it is the kind of error that follows an application around. The biosketch runs on the same rule: contributions drafted only from your CV and product list, no rounded-up roles, no invented mentorship counts - the reviewer who checks is the one who knows you.

Draft my budget justification from these numbers ONLY: [paste salary bases, effort percentages, fringe rate, supply costs from actual orders, equipment quotes]. Any figure not in my paste: [NEEDS: source], never an estimate. Justify each line by connecting it to an aim, not by adjectives. Then the biosketch contribution paragraphs from my CV and product list [paste] - no role inflation, no counts I did not state.
