# GrantPulse LOI Readiness Check

> GrantPulse LOI Readiness Check is a paid API for AI agents from grantpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Scores the completeness of your Letter of Inquiry inputs against the six-part LOI structure before you pay for the full $2.00 draft, flagging which sections will need bracketed placeholders.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability grantpulse-loi-readiness-check-93aa61bd
```

Example prompt: Before I spend $2 on the full LOI draft, can you run a readiness check on my inputs — funder is the Gates Foundation, our project is a two-year digital literacy program for rural communities, our org is a registered 501(c)(3) called BrightPath Education, and we're requesting $150,000?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want to validate and grade your LOI inputs before committing $2.00 to the full LOI draft generation. It is the right choice when you suspect your inputs may be incomplete, want to know which sections will have placeholders, or need a cheap pre-flight check to avoid wasting money on a draft that will be full of gaps. Prefer this over the full LOI endpoint whenever the user's inputs seem thin or uncertain.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required inputs (funder name, project, org, amount, or duration) may result in low scores or incomplete analysis
- Funder-type inference is name-based only and may be inaccurate for obscure or ambiguous funder names
- Endpoint does not perform live funder research so the readiness score reflects input structure only, not actual funder fit
- Returns no letter text — agents expecting a draft LOI must use the /api/grant/loi endpoint instead

## How this service works

Deterministic $0.25 readiness check for /api/grant/loi ($2.00): scores completeness of your funder/project/org/amount/duration inputs against the six-part LOI structure the full product commits to, flags exactly which sections will need [BRACKETED] placeholders, and guesses funder-type register from the name alone. No live funder research, no letter text, no LLM call — pure input grading before you spend $2 on the real draft.

## Output

Returns a completeness score for the LOI inputs across the six-part LOI structure, a list of which sections will require bracketed placeholders in the full draft, and an inferred funder-type register derived from the funder name alone — all without making any LLM calls or live funder lookups.
