How many people are working on this project?
Need to put something in here - open to suggestions.
How much are you requesting in grant funding?
10-150k - I suggest going in at the 10k level with a smaller piece of work. More likely to win a smaller value IMO and if we do once we do a good job we can scale up the ambition of the next project with Fuel.
