Why verified matters: SAM.gov's official checklist requires verified identity, taxpayer, banking, ownership and entity information for an All Awards registration. SAM.gov checklist

Grants.gov organizational applicants must first complete SAM registration and assign authorized organizational roles. Grants.gov registration

Evidence Vault

Every claim needs a receipt. A controlled document room — this is what prevents AI from inventing credentials or recycling expired information.

Human Approval & Signature System

AI accelerates the work. Humans own the signatures, the pricing and the submissions.

THE AI CAN

  • Find opportunities
  • Extract requirements
  • Score eligibility
  • Draft narratives
  • Populate approved information
  • Build compliance matrices
  • Produce checklists
  • Send deadline reminders

THE AI SHOULD NOT INDEPENDENTLY

  • Certify eligibility
  • Sign legal representations
  • Submit banking information
  • Accept contract terms
  • Set final pricing
  • Guarantee results
  • Sign grant assurances
  • Agree to personal guarantees
  • Submit sensitive filings without authorization

Required roles (assign per entity)

Opportunity reviewer

Proposal manager

Financial reviewer

Legal/compliance reviewer

Authorized signer

Final submission owner

Subject: McKnight ecosystem — master intake package (18 items)

Dr. McKnight,

To power every registration, grant, proposal and funding application across the portfolio, we build ONE verified data engine first: the Business Readiness Passport + Evidence Vault. To start it, we need the master intake package:

1. Full legal name and approved public biography
2. Exact legal entities currently active
3. EINs and formation documents
4. Existing domains and social accounts
5. Existing logos, photos and videos
6. Current licenses and certifications
7. SAM, UEI, CAGE and SC vendor status
8. Housing nonprofit/IRS status
9. Trucking authority and fleet status
10. Daycare license, capacity and ABC Quality status
11. Credit-services contracts and disclosures
12. Current software and payment systems
13. Staff and partner list
14. Existing customers and past performance
15. Revenue, budget and launch priorities
16. Documents that may be publicly displayed
17. Authorized signer for each entity
18. Desired launch date for the first platform

Every document goes into a controlled Evidence Vault with owner, version, effective/expiration dates, confidentiality level, verification status and AI-usage permission. Nothing is published or submitted without your designated authorized signer's approval.

Once received, execution follows the recommended order: governance → brand system → shared CRM/identity/evidence vault → The Contracting Preacher rebuild → the rest of the fleet.
