# Skill: Qualify the funder
A proposal to a poorly-fit funder is sunk cost.
## Step 1 — Score alignment
Mission, geography, typical grant size, and funding history (§3 #2).
## Step 2 — Estimate effort vs odds
Weigh the writing hours against the realistic probability.
## Step 3 — Go / no-go
Recommend pursue or pass, with the reasoning.
## Step 4 — Pipeline it
Place qualified opportunities in a managed pipeline with deadlines.
## Output
A funder-fit score, an effort-vs-odds read, a go/no-go, and a pipeline entry.
