What each level actually gives you

The free builder gets you one working first draft, read only from the opportunity you paste. It is not reviewed, it is not researched, and it does not use a Sprint slot. Every paid level below adds something specific, and the difference is written out rather than implied.

Grant build levels compared by price, coverage, assets, format, human work, your work, corrections, timing and exclusions.

Human-reviewed work begins when intake is complete, not when payment clears. If anything needed is missing, we ask for it and the clock starts when it arrives.

Check this schedule against your deadline before you pay. If your deadline does not fit, tell us first — we would rather turn the work down than miss it.

A Sprint slot is consumed when you open it against a named opportunity. It is returned to your balance only by DSG, and only with a written reason.

The routes

What are you trying to get done?

Self-directed means you drive and the system holds the structure. Reviewed means a Capital Architect reads it and returns corrections before you submit. Hybrid routes are hybrid by design: the tool prepares the repeatable parts and then hands the work to DSG Studio, because compliance, context, and judgment are required.

“There is a foundation opportunity in front of me and I need it finished well.”

Foundation grant

Result: A requirements map read only from the opportunity itself, then a first-draft package with every gap marked rather than invented.

Self-directed — $350You work the five stations yourself. The system holds the structure and marks what is missing.Buy $350

Fixed price · paid onceAsk first

“The money is local — a county, a city, a public agency — and the rules read differently.”

County or local government

Result: A public-funder-ready package: eligibility, procurement language, match and reporting obligations named plainly, and a draft written for a public reviewer.

Self-directed — $475You build it. We structure it and flag what the source does not state.Buy $475

“This is a state application and the compliance weight is real.”

State opportunity

Result: A hybrid build: you supply what only you can, DSG works the compliance structure, the evidence table, and the narrative alignment with you.

Hybrid — built with DSG — $750Includes Fredericka's own time: she works the compliance, evidence and narrative with you end to end and reviews it before you submit.Buy $750

Hybrid — where DSG takes over: The tool prepares the repeatable parts. Compliance interpretation and narrative alignment are reviewed by a Capital Architect before submission.

Fixed price · paid onceAsk first

“A bank keeps saying community development and we do not know what they mean by it.”

CRA or bank community development

Result: A prepared position: geography, community-development evidence, program economics, use of funds, public research on the institution, and the open questions written down.

Hybrid — built with DSG — By conversationThe tool prepares the package. A Studio strategy session is required.

Hybrid — where DSG takes over: The tool does not determine whether an activity qualifies for CRA consideration. That is a regulatory judgment made by the institution and its examiners. A Studio strategy session is required.

Scope confirmed firstStart this route

“This is a site, a facility, a district, or a coalition — not a single grant.”

Economic development and place-based capital

Result: A capital structure written down: the parties, the money's shape, the sequence, the evidence each party needs, and what is still unresolved.

Hybrid — built with DSG — By conversationScoped with a Capital Architect before anything begins.

Hybrid — where DSG takes over: Deal structure, public process, and partner negotiation require human judgment. The tool organizes what is repeatable and then hands off to DSG Studio.

Scope confirmed firstStart this route

“I do not have an opportunity yet. Find me ones worth my time.”

Grant Opportunity Scan™ — $350

Result: A researched set of specific opportunities, with what each one actually requires and which ones are not worth your week.

Optional and separable. If you already have an opportunity in front of you, do not buy this — go straight to the route that fits it.

Add-on or standaloneBuy $350

“I have several deadlines and no team.”

Grant Build Sprint™ — three or six grants

Result: Coordinated production inside the same grant system, with a Capital Architect reading the work as it is written. Three grants from $1,500. Six grants from $2,750.

Not an online purchase. Work at this size is scoped with a person first, and the entitlement is set up by DSG before the first build begins.

Scope confirmed firstTalk to DSG

Build what can be built. Bring in DSG where judgment matters. You should not have to pay a consultant to collect information you could have organized first — and you should not have to trust a machine with decisions that require judgment.

There is no federal route here. Federal applications carry compliance and audit obligations that should not be sold as a fast package, and we will say so rather than take the work.

Federal opportunities, complex state RFPs, government contracts, capital construction, and multi-party or collaborative applications are not Store purchases. Those go to DSG Studio, where a person scopes them first.

How the work behaves

Requirements are read only from the opportunity you paste. Anything the source does not state is returned as not stated, never inferred.
No number, baseline, participant count, or citation is generated that you did not supply. Gaps become marked blanks and a short research list.
Every claim carries where it came from and how firm it is.
Scope and price are confirmed with you before the work begins.

Bring the opportunity. We will hold the structure.

Paste what you are working on and we will tell you what it actually requires — and what it does not say.

Where this sits

What this is

Deena Strategic Group is an operating prototype for fair philanthropy: a working system, used by real organizations, that makes community-created value legible to capital and asks capital to widen what it can read as value.

Underneath the products sits a new SROI architecture — Social Return on Investment rebuilt so that community-created value counts, and so that no number is published as proof unless a person can show where it came from.

You are not behind. You are under-translated. The work of this system is translation and truth-keeping: say what the evidence carries, name what it does not, and never dress a gap as a finding.

If you are building the next generation of this work — an organization, a funder, a researcher, a builder — you are invited in. The architecture is meant to be used and argued with, not admired.
