Data completion statistics
How complete our 2,468 funding opportunities are. The Checked tables below count all 5,450 pages on the site: the funding opportunities plus the galleries, venues and services in The Vault. For each kind of detail, the bar shows the share of funding opportunities that give a real answer, rather than a blank, a placeholder, or something in the wrong place. We work to raise every bar over time, and the numbers here change as we do.
Many grants keep their details in PDFs, often on another website. We found 1,711 PDFs linked from 631 funding opportunities and keep 1,002 of them; 244 are hosted on a different website from the funder's page (162 of those not yet kept).
Checked coverage on the live site
A listing is Checked when we compared every key detail it shows with the funder's page (for galleries, venues and services, the listing's own website) and it agreed. Always confirm on that page before you apply. It is Complete when all its key details were found. These numbers are counted from the same data the live site was built from, as of 2026-11-11, and refreshed every time the site is published.

Where facts came from
The 50,643 facts shown on listings, by how each was last written, 2026-11-11. "before-tracking" means the fact was already there before we began recording how facts were written; it is the share still to be turned into recorded, quoted facts.
| Method | Facts | Share |
|---|---|---|
| rule read from the page by plain code | 28,539 | 56% |
| template filled in from a fixed template | 24 | 0% |
| ollama read from the page by our local model (Ollama) | 27 | 0% |
| claude read in a Claude session | 601 | 1% |
| person entered or approved by a person | 0 | 0% |

Waiting for review
1,284 listings in all, 2026-11-11. The parts (a listing can be in more than one):
- 35 held back from the site until a person looks at them;
- 1,261 with a proposed change (1,788 facts) the checks could not settle on their own;
- 2 whose latest check sent them for review.
How well the code reads pages
Capture and accuracy of the code that reads facts from pages: not measured yet. They appear here once the scorer (tools/score_extraction.py) has been run and its result saved.
Thirty-day trend
4 days, 2026-10-13 to 2026-11-11. One row for each day we publish.
On 2026-10-14 we stopped counting services that were removed from the site because they turned out not to be real listings. The site never showed them, but earlier days include them in the total, so the total falls and the share rises on that day while no listing changed.
| Date | Checked | Share | Waiting for review |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-11-11 | 1,796 of 5,450 | 33% | 1,284 |
| 2026-10-15 | 3,052 of 5,093 | 60% | 1,249 |
| 2026-10-14 | 3,009 of 5,084 | 59% | 1,249 |
| 2026-10-13 | 3,806 of 5,098 | 75% | 1,249 |
Changes to what Checked counts
- 2026-10-13: D64 step 2: the gallery, venue and service badge "Checked against its own website" now needs each key fact quoted from the listing's own website or read there by the website check, and each missing fact settled by a blind-tested rule. A finished website check alone no longer earns it, and a website that has not answered for 30 days marks the listing as not answering instead of costing the badge. Badges: galleries and venues 580 to 547, services 178 to 544. The counts above are unchanged.
- 2026-10-14: D64 step 3: the counts above now use the same rule as the badge on each listing, so the two always agree. Until today these counts left out the own-website test the badge needs. Galleries and venues Checked here 1,160 to 547, services 851 to 544, Funding unchanged at 1,762. No listing's badge changed.
- 2026-10-14: D64 step 4: paid features, account required and operator type (services) and public funding (galleries) are now shown when a page states them but never required. The checks stop asking for them. They were never part of Checked, so no count above changed.
- 2026-10-16: D68 follow-up: a fact shown marked "not confirmed" no longer counts toward Checked; only facts shown plainly and confirmed absences do. Funding Checked 1,679 to 1,188 of 2,340; galleries, venues and services unchanged. It rises again as the weaker readers are fixed.
- 2026-10-18: D74: two labels. Checked now means we compared every key detail we show with the funder's page (or the listing's own website) and it agreed, not that enough details were filled. Complete means all the key details were found, and each listing names any that were not. A quote counts only when it says the value we show, and lapses when its page changes. Funding Checked 1,337 to 397 of 2,344 (870 Complete); galleries and venues 599 to 591 of 1,389 (613 Complete); services 469 to 534 of 1,344 (229 Complete).
How much of the checking needs no LLM
Our check loops read each page with plain rules first. A page counts as checked by code when the rules read, or confirm, enough of its key facts. The rest wait for an LLM. Goal: 75%.
- Opportunities: 58% checked by code alone (1,405 passed, 142 waiting for an LLM, 878 with a blank fact code could not fill, 97 unreachable)
- Resources: 36% checked by code alone (958 passed, 125 waiting for an LLM, 1,593 with a blank fact code could not fill, 393 unreachable)

"Researched" listings were gathered and written by an AI research assistant, from funders' pages and web searches. "Found automatically" listings were found by software, on funders' own lists of programs or through web searches, and their details were read from the funder's page by code. Most listings of both kinds have not been reviewed by a person yet. Checked against the funder's page: we compared the details shown with the funder's own page, and the page has not changed since. A listing can be Checked while some key details are still not found, and a detail we could not confirm says so. Always confirm on the funder's page before you apply.
