A transparent comparison workspace

Is this public funding genuinely new?

Compare a current opportunity with earlier notices, amendments, and funding identifiers. The analyzer explains its reasoning instead of pretending uncertainty is certainty.

Required fields are marked. Blank prior values are treated as unknown, never as proof of novelty.

What counts as a useful baseline?

An earlier NOFO, an amendment history, a prior fiscal-year announcement, an assistance listing record, or an agency program page.

Primary-source workflow

Verify before sharing a conclusion

A polished press release can describe an amended or continuing program as a new announcement. Follow the identifiers and funding authority, not the headline alone.

Open the primary notice

Record the notice ID, version, posted date, close date, funding ID, and amendment number.

Trace the record

Search official registries and agency pages for prior versions, archived notices, and linked assistance listings.

Follow the money

Compare total funding, estimated awards, fiscal years, appropriations, and whether funds were previously announced.

Document uncertainty

If sources conflict or history is incomplete, label the result uncertain and cite what remains unresolved.

How the classification model works

Likely new: distinct identifiers plus a fresh funding amount and no amendment or continuation language.

Likely amendment: an amendment number, reused notice identity, or changes focused on dates and terms rather than a new program record.

Likely continuation: the same funding or assistance identity with a later cycle, recurring program language, or a baseline that carries forward.

Uncertain: incomplete prior records, conflicting signals, or insufficient primary evidence.
