The working manual for the GENESIS Grants identity: the figure, the name, the colour and the type, and the templates for every document the service puts in a client's hands, from the quote to the closing certificate.
GENESIS Grants audits funding proposals before they are submitted: it reads the call, reads the proposal, scores it against the evaluation criteria and returns findings a coordinator can act on. The figure that signs everything we publish is half person, half machine, because that is how the work is split. The machine reads; the person decides.
Use this book as a working manual. It tells you which file to use, which colour, how to write the name, and what never goes on a client document. When it does not cover a case, apply its first rule: write it so an evaluator would trust it.
What GENESIS Grants does, who buys it, and the three principles every rule in this book comes from.
We are not a proposal-writing agency and we do not sell a success rate. We do not promise funding. We do not submit on anyone's behalf. We are not a chatbot: the client receives a report with findings tied to the call text and to the page where the problem is.
The coordinator keeps the pen. Every decision about the proposal stays with the people who sign it.
The figure is split down the middle for a reason. Reading, checking and scoring are mechanical; judgement and signature are human. Every surface that shows a result also shows where a person validated it.
A finding names the criterion, the section and the page, and quotes the proposal word for word. If we cannot point to where it is, we do not say it. The same rule governs our marketing: no claim without its source.
Client names, project acronyms and proposal text never appear in anything public. Examples in this book and on the website are invented and marked as such.
The only mark GENESIS Grants uses. It appears on the portal, the documents, the favicon and every cover.
The left half is smooth and human. The right half is mechanical: joints drawn as circles, a segmented arm, an antenna. The two halves share one outline, so the figure reads as one body doing one job.
Read it two ways. Literally, it is the service: a reviewer and a machine working the same proposal. As a signature, it marks every document as checked by both.
The unit X is the height of the figure's head. Keep 1X clear around the mark or the lockup; 2X on covers and banners. No text, rule, image or page edge enters that zone.
DON'TStretch or squash it.
DON'TMirror it. The human half is always on the viewer's left.
DON'TRecolour it outside cyan, ink and white.
DON'TRotate it or set it in motion.
DON'TAdd shadows, glows or bevels.
DON'TPlace it where it loses contrast.
DON'TReplace it with a typed name or another drawing.
DON'TBring back the retired pose in motion (v1.0 "símbolo · acción").
How the name is written in text, how it is drawn in the lockup, and the claim that travels with it.
In running text, on documents and in the portal, the service is always GENESIS Grants. After the first mention, GENESIS alone is correct. The word never takes an accent in any language.

Grant proposal audit · Auditoría de propuestas. It sits under the name in the portal header, on the login screen and on every manual and document cover. Set in IBM Plex Mono, capitals, tracked +220.
In the drawn lockup, GRANTS is set in capitals in cyan under the wordmark. That is part of the drawing and does not change the rule for running text.
The figure, the GENESIS wordmark in Space Grotesk Bold converted to curves, and GRANTS in cyan. In the horizontal lockup the figure is 3.5 times the wordmark's height. Use the master files; do not reset the type.
Documents, portal header, email signature, slides. Carries the claim when there is room.
Covers, square formats, the closing certificate, social posts.
Favicon, app icon, avatar. Only where the context already names the service.
On ink, the figure and the wordmark turn white. GRANTS stays cyan, which reads at 8.5:1 on ink. The claim drops to fog grey.
Never put the cyan figure on the cyan tile, and never use the lockup on a photograph.
A small palette with strict jobs, a scale for interface work, and three action colours that belong to the product.
Cyan carries the figure, GRANTS, rules and one accent per surface. Ink is the text colour and the ground for covers and headers. White is the page. Graphite sets running text where ink would be too heavy.
Documents and the portal default to white. Covers, headers and social cards invert: ink 60, white 25, cyan 10.
There is no brand green, amber or purple. Status and action colours exist only inside the product (4.3) and never appear on covers, the website or social posts. The amber of v1.0 is retired.
Use the cyan scale for links, data and hover states, and the neutral scale for lines, panels and secondary text. Cyan 700 is the colour for cyan text on white; brand cyan itself never sets body text.
Buttons follow the figure. The left half is human, so the left side of every button bar and decision window holds what a person does: judgement, decisions and signature, in purple. The right half is the machine, so the right side holds what GENESIS does: reading, checking and scoring, in blue. Launching a round is a decision with a charge: red, on the left, behind a confirmation window. Navigation, downloads, Cancel and Delete stay neutral; in decision windows Cancel sits on the right.
#7C3AED. Any action a person signs.
#0EA5E9, label in ink. What GENESIS reads, checks or scores.
#DC2626. Irreversible, charged, confirmed first.
Navigation, downloads, Cancel, Delete.
Brand cyan on white measures 2.2:1, below every WCAG threshold. Use it for the figure, rules and fills; write text in ink, graphite or Cyan 700.
White on UI blue #0EA5E9 measures 2.8:1, below AA. Since v19.9.3 every label on that blue is set in ink (6.5:1); on hover the button lightens to #38BDF8 (8.4:1) instead of darkening. The colour of the button does not change.
Space Grotesk names things. IBM Plex Sans explains them. IBM Plex Mono labels, counts and references them.
The wordmark, titles and large figures. Medium (500) for headings, Bold (700) for the wordmark and document titles such as "Quote". Never below 18 px, never for paragraphs.
Everything a person reads at length: findings, report body, portal text, letters. 300 to 600; body at 400, labels in tables at 600.
Call identifiers, document numbers, dates, amounts, page references, eyebrow labels, the legal line. In capitals it is tracked +140 to +220.
Print: body 9.5 to 10.5 pt, labels 6.5 to 7 pt, document titles 30 pt.
We write like an evaluator who wants the proposal to succeed: exact about the problem, specific about the fix.
Name the criterion, the section, the page. Use the programme's own terms: call, topic, work package, threshold, expected outcome.
Quote the call and the proposal word for word. Separate what the text says from what we recommend. Never promise a score or a grant.
Short sentences, active voice, real numbers. The reader is a busy coordinator two weeks from a deadline.
All examples below are invented. Client names and project acronyms never appear on public material.
Find where your proposal loses points before the evaluators do.
We audit Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ proposals against the call and the evaluation criteria, in rounds, before submission. If you have a deadline this quarter, send me the topic ID and I will tell you what a first round covers.

Work package 4 has no deliverable before month 30. Reviewers check that each work package produces evidence of progress; add an interim deliverable or a milestone with a means of verification.
Most Horizon proposals we audit lose points in the same place: impact pathways with no numbers. A target value and a year per outcome fixes most of it.

GENESIS Grants is a service of Solo Lattices Company Ltd. The relationship is stated once, in legal terms, and the brand stays independent.
Solo Lattices does not endorse GENESIS Grants with its mark. Its name appears in exactly two forms: the legal line in the footer, and the full company data in the billing block of quotes and invoices.
From the portal header to the closing certificate. Each one follows the approved quote model of September 2026.
The header is one ink band. The figure takes its full height, then GENESIS Grants and the claim, large. Navigation sits right. Below the band, white cards on frost.
An HTML table with inline styles so it survives Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail. Arial only; no web fonts in signatures. Replace the bracketed fields.

Dear [Name],
GENESIS Grants audits funding proposals against the call text and the evaluation criteria before submission. Each round returns a report with findings tied to the criterion, the section and the page.
For your proposal to [topic], a first round would cover the three award criteria and the formal requirements of the call. It takes [n] working days from the version you send.
If that fits your timeline, reply with the topic identifier and your submission date, and I will send you a quote.

The Word version of this letterhead is in the kit folder (documentos/genesis-grants-carta.docx); this page cannot attach Word files.
It says what the service is in one sentence, names what a round covers and how long it takes, and closes with one specific request. Fill the lead time with the real figure for each letter.
16:9 at 1920 × 1080. Covers and section breaks on ink; content on white. One idea and one number per slide. The closing slide carries the legal line.
The PowerPoint template (four layouts: cover, section, content, closing) is in the kit folder, presentacion/genesis-grants-presentacion.pptx; this page cannot attach PowerPoint files.
LinkedIn cover at 1584 × 396 with the lockup centred so the round profile photo never covers it. The avatar is the figure-only tile cropped to a circle. Posts are 1080 × 1080, one claim each, with the source of any number in the caption.
1920 × 1080 for Teams, Zoom and Meet. Lockup top left, web address top right, a large ghosted figure low on the right. Keep the dashed zone clear: that is where your head and shoulders sit.
The favicon, the home-screen icon and the portal tab all use the same tile: white figure on UI blue, corner radius 22 %. The ink tile is the alternative for dark docks and slide footers.
24-unit grid, 2 px stroke, round caps and joins, no fills. Mechanical details resolve as a small circle or a short segment, like the figure's joints. One colour per icon; always paired with a text label.
In most Horizon Europe actions, evaluators score each award criterion from 0 to 5 with a threshold of 3, and the total from 0 to 15 with a threshold of 10. Charts use that scale and draw the threshold as a line. The latest round is cyan; earlier rounds are haze grey. Values sit on the bars.
Cyan for the current round only. Severity steps through ink, Cyan 700 and cloud, so it survives greyscale printing. The threshold line is purple: a pass or fail is a human judgement on the report.
Title in Space Grotesk, unit line in mono capitals, hairline grid, values on the marks. Label every chart with example data as such until it holds a real project.
The work is a page with a finding on it. That is more convincing than any picture of people shaking hands.
01 · The annotated pageA proposal page with one highlighted passage and its finding. Crop tight; one finding per image.
02 · The scoreA chart from a report (8.12), on white, with its title and unit line.
03 · The portalScreens with example projects only. Blur nothing: if it needs blurring, it should not be there.
Stock photos of meetings, handshakes or people pointing at screens. Stock robots, brains, circuit boards or glowing networks: the figure is the only robot we show. Client names, logos, acronyms or proposal text. Screenshots of model providers' interfaces.
GENESIS Grants is not an EU body and is not funded by the programmes it audits. Programme names are written as text. The EU flag appears only on a document that is required to carry it, never beside the lockup and never as decoration.
