🧠 Writing Feature — Definition

The Writing Feature enables district teams to move from RFP upload → AI writing plan → complete, collaborative grant draft within one unified workspace.

It combines structured reasoning (plan generation) with adaptive co-writing (live drafting + user feedback loops).

🎯 Core Objective

To help district administrators go from a raw RFP to a polished, compliant, and district-tailored grant proposal using AI that collaborates, asks clarifying questions, and writes to plan.

🧩 User Flow

1. Identify the Grant

• The user selects a grant from our system (via the Grants Search / Bookmarks modules) or uploads one manually.
• The user provides the RFP document (PDF, DOCX, or pasted text).

2. RFP Parsing

• The AI agent parses the RFP and extracts:
  • Sections, subsections, tables, charts, and formatting structure.
  • Key requirements, deadlines, and compliance details.
  • Evaluation criteria and funder language patterns.

3. Context Gathering

• The agent cross-references the District Profile and existing data (e.g., demographics, budget data, prior grant language).

• If additional inputs are missing, the agent asks the user:

  “Please upload your most recent Title I report or district improvement plan for context on student performance.”

4. Writing Plan Generation

• The agent produces a structured writing plan, including:
  • Outline of all sections/subsections required by the RFP.
  • Notes on tone, length, data requirements, and visuals (charts/tables).

5. User Review & Editing

• The user reviews and can:
  • Approve the plan, or
  • Modify it, e.g., reorder sections, exclude content, or add new materials.
