Funding channels we can honestly qualify for

  • Pre-seed philanthropic grants — non-dilutive, routed via institutional networks into the CIC to clear immediate liabilities and fund the draw. No speculative equity.
  • Public-utility & community funds — clean-ups, wellbeing and local environment programmes that fund verified physical outcomes, matching our live evidence.
  • Early user revenue — SORTED subscriptions & PetSounds51 (live on the platform). Honest pre-revenue but already real.

Why this proposal is deliberately modest

This budget asks for enough to run the work and pay the people doing it — no inflated architecture, no claims the system doesn't meet. As verification grows, so can the ask. Every figure here is traceable either to a live counter in the product or a fixed real cost. That is what makes it fundable.
