# Match a project profile to eligible UK grants, ranked

`POST /v1/grants/match`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.ukintel.uk`
- URL: `https://api.ukintel.uk/v1/grants/match`
- Auth: none declared

Send a project profile (what it is, who you are, where, how much you need) and get back the live UK grants it could actually get - ranked eligible-first with a per-criterion pass/fail table for every match, from criteria parsed once at ingest from each grant's own eligibility text. Ineligible grants are excluded and counted, never dressed up as options. Deterministic rules; no language model touches the verdicts.

Returns: result = { considered, matches[] of { grant summary + eligibility { band eligible|uncertain, score, criteria[{code,requirement,pass,detail}], missing[], flags[] } , relevance }, excluded{ineligible, closed} }.
