"Grant AI" Releases "AI Editing Tool" for Applications ── AI Outputs Improvement Suggestions Based on Review Criteria Simply by Inputting Business Plan Text

Mycat Inc. has added an "AI Editing Tool" to its grant search and diagnosis service "Grant AI" (https://hojokin.xyz). This tool allows AI to edit business plan descriptions from the perspective of the review criteria. Tool URL: https://hojokin.xyz/tools/application-review### "The Way the Plan is Written" Determines Grant Approval Rate Looking at the approval data for the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency's "Small Business Sustainability Grant" (General Type, 16th round), the approval rate has been around 40% recently (Source: Small and Medium Enterprise Agency, Small Business Sustainability Grant Approval Results). This means that over half of applicants are not approved. While reasons for rejection are not individually notified, feedback from chambers of commerce and certified support institutions often points to "insufficient description corresponding to review items" or "inability to discern the connection between the business's strengths and the subsidized project." Although grant applications often have many free-writing sections, reviewers evaluate them based on the publicly announced "Review Perspectives." If the gap between these "Review Perspectives" and one's own plan can be identified in advance, the approval rate can significantly change. However, in reality, the hurdle of requesting editing from experts is not low for sole proprietors and small business owners. Consultations with certified support institutions are free, but it's not uncommon for appointments to be weeks away, and last-minute consultations just before the deadline may not yield sufficient feedback. The AI Editing Tool was developed as a second opinion to provide immediate feedback even while writing the plan. ### How to Use the AI Editing Tool **Supported Grants** Currently, it supports the review criteria for the following major grants: - Small Business Sustainability Grant (General Type/Special Quota) - IT Introduction Grant - Manufacturing, Commerce, and Service Productivity Enhancement Grant - Business Reconstruction Grant The AI references the "Review Perspectives" listed in the application guidelines for each grant and outputs editing results for each perspective. **Input Method** After selecting the type of grant you want to edit, paste the text of your business plan into the form. You can paste the entire text at once or paste it section by section. It is designed for use by copying and pasting relevant parts from a plan being created in Word or similar software. Images and tables are not subject to reading, so please paste only the text. **Output Editing Results** The AI compares the plan's text with the review criteria for each grant and outputs improvement suggestions in the following three categories: 1. **Identification of Insufficient Description** It identifies items required by the review perspectives that are missing from the plan. For example, for the "Management Plan" of the Small Business Sustainability Grant, which requires "Customer Needs and Market Trends," if the plan only describes the company's products without mentioning the market environment, it will specifically point out: "Description of market trends is insufficient. Please add information on the target market size and recent changes." 2. **Suggestions for Improving Expression** It suggests replacing abstract descriptions that are difficult for reviewers to understand with specific figures and facts. For example, it might suggest rewriting "Increase sales" to "Increase monthly sales from XX million yen to YY million yen by raising the repeat purchase rate of existing customers from the current 30% to 50%." 3. **Check for Bonus Points** It checks whether descriptions for bonus points, such as wage increase quotas, invoice special provisions, and disaster support quotas, are included. If bonus items are applicable but the description is missing, it prompts for additions. Each point of feedback quotes the relevant "Review Perspective," allowing users to check why the correction is necessary by referring back to the application guidelines. ### Useful in These Situations **1. For self-checking immediately after writing the first draft of the plan** No one can write a perfect plan right away. First, write a draft, run it through the AI editing tool, revise the points indicated, and run it through the editing tool again. This iterative process gradually improves the quality of the plan. Editing can be performed repeatedly and for free, so you can use it until you are satisfied. **2. As preparation before consulting with the Chamber of Commerce** When consulting with a business advisor at the Chamber of Commerce, the quality of feedback received differs depending on whether you consult with a blank slate or with a plan that has some form. If you consult after filling in basic omissions with AI editing, you can receive more advanced advice. This also leads to effective use of consultation time. **3. For retrying plans that were previously rejected** By running a previously rejected plan through the AI editing tool, you can objectively understand which review perspectives were weak. Submitting the same content again will not change the outcome. By reinforcing weaknesses based on the AI's suggestions before reapplying, you can increase the chances of approval. ### A Tool to Complement, Not Replace Experts The AI Editing Tool is not intended to replace professional support from certified support institutions or administrative scriveners. While the AI checks for compliance with review criteria and descriptions, it cannot judge the validity of business strategies or the feasibility of marketing measures. The role of this tool is to improve the "description quality" of the plan. Please refine the content itself in collaboration with experts from chambers of commerce or certified support institutions. * Editing by this tool does not guarantee approval. Please confirm the final application content with experts such as certified support institutions. ▼ AI Editing Tool Here: https://hojokin.xyz/tools/application-review ■ Company Profile Company Name: Mycat Inc.
