Grant Match Funding Ratio Compliance Checker

Reconcile caller eligible cash and independently valued in-kind support with a cap defined as share of required match, retaining excluded support and signed funding shortfall; unlike tested grant-cost allowability, this audits funding leverage, not legal compliance or award eligibility.

Description

Limitations and assumptions

Eligibility and valuation are caller-established; this audit does not determine legal allowability or award eligibility.

Numbers and computed results must be finite; overflow produces an error. Numeric lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
