Proof, not promises
What you get before you pay
You shouldn’t have to take an agency’s word for it. Here is what you can check for free, what each plan actually delivers, and what a funding draft looks like when it lands in your portal.
Everything on this page is a description of our process or a clearly labelled illustration. It is not a client result, testimonial or prediction. We publish client outcomes only with the client’s written permission.

Sample path: call to filed application
IllustrationMaple Lane Bakery · Fictional business. Illustration of the process, not a client result.
- 1
Strategy call
We review the free audit together and agree what to fix first. Nothing is bought on the call unless the owner wants to.
- 2
Questionnaire on file
The owner answers the funding questionnaire: stage, region, goals and the project they actually want to run.
- 3
Shortlist and tried list
AdPulse matches programs to the answers. Programs that don’t fit, or were already tried, are set aside so they aren’t shown twice.
- 4
Pre-application draft
We draft about half of one pre-application: structure, program fit and narrative. The draft carries a confidence score and a checklist of what is missing.
- 5
Owner fills the gaps
The owner supplies budget lines, dates and documents, checks every fact, then signs and files on the funder’s official site.
- 6
Tracked to a decision
Submitted date, funder decision and any amount are recorded in the portal by the client and AdPulse. The funder decides; we don’t predict it.
What a draft looks like in your portal
Sample · fictionalEvery pre-application draft comes with this panel. The score below was produced by our real scoring code from the fictional Maple Lane Bakery profile and an illustrative program (“Example digital-adoption program (illustrative)”). It measures how complete the draft is, not the odds of approval.
How outcomes get reported
- Paid plans include a Funding ROI tracker in the portal: submitted date, funder decision and any amount awarded.
- Figures come only from what you and your AdPulse team enter. Nothing is estimated or projected.
- We publish a client’s outcome only with their written permission, and only as the funder decided it.
What we won’t claim
- No funding guarantees. Funders make their own decisions. A match, draft or confidence score is guidance.
- No made-up numbers. No approval rates, “dollars raised” totals or traffic promises.
- No filing on your behalf. You sign and submit on the funder’s official site.
