FAQ
What if the recommendation is No-Go?
A No-Go recommendation is still a valuable outcome. It can save significant time and resources while identifying the gaps that should be addressed before pursuing a future opportunity. Where appropriate, we provide recommendations for strengthening your position and identifying alternative funding paths.
What does “Conditional Go” mean?
A Conditional Go means the opportunity may be worth pursuing, but specific gaps, risks, or requirements should be addressed before moving forward. We identify those conditions clearly so your team can make an informed decision.
Can you evaluate an opportunity that is already in progress?
Yes. Depending on the stage of the application and the available timeline, we can provide an independent assessment to help identify gaps, risks, and areas requiring additional attention.
WHY GMA
Better Decisions Before Bigger Investments.
The cost of pursuing the wrong opportunity is often more than the cost of not pursuing it. Proposal teams can spend weeks coordinating subject-matter experts, developing technical content, and preparing documentation—only to discover too late that the project was not well positioned to compete.
An Objective Perspective
We provide an independent assessment that helps teams look beyond internal enthusiasm and evaluate the opportunity based on evidence and strategic fit.
Focused on Competitiveness
Eligibility alone doesn't make an application competitive. We look at the factors that can influence how well a project is positioned against other applicants.
Actionable, Not Just Analytical
Our analysis is designed to support a decision. You receive clear findings and practical next steps—not simply a list of observations.
Connected to the Funding Lifecycle
If the answer is Go, GMA can support the next phase—from proposal strategy and development through submission and post-award management.
