Climate Finance Intelligence is a secure, AI-powered platform that puts your institution's accumulated submissions — and, wherever you authorize it, the Donor's own record of approved projects — behind every concept note your team writes.
CFI is a knowledge management platform. It indexes three bodies of evidence: your own institution's project files (e.g. submissions and reviewer feedback), the climate science relevant to your context, and the Donor's approved-project corpus. It makes all three retrievable by your team, in plain language, with sources attached.
A handful of specialists carry the entire pipeline, and capacity, not ambition, limits how many proposals you can put forward as the bar for climate rationale keeps moving.
Accreditation gives direct access; approvals determine what it's worth. More concept notes survive review and move faster through it, because each submission builds on the last instead of starting over.
Reviewer comments come back months after submission, land in one person's inbox, and the next concept note repeats a lesson the institution already paid for.
CFI audits your draft against actual approved submissions, flagging weak rationale, unsupported claims, and misalignments early. Get a documented review before anything enters the no-objection queue.
Your teams know the sector, geography, and communities better than any outside consultant, but what delays approval is often translation into the Donor's evidence conventions, not substance.
Search thousands of approved proposals* by sector, region, and intervention type. See how comparable projects framed their rationale, and build your case using evidence that has already cleared review.
* Client-supplied or client-authorised corpus. Janus does not supply donor document collections with the platform.
An outside engagement only sees the cases it happened to work on — however capable the firm. CFI draws on the full pattern of what's actually been approved across every comparable case, not one engagement's slice of experience. Single runs, no commitment. Repeating this across a full pipeline? A Co-Design Sprint or Enterprise deployment may work out more efficient — see below.
Includes a kickoff co-design workshop, an instance configured to your core requirements, priority Concept Note AI-Assistants built for your team — Climate Rationale, Theory of Change, and Concept Note Evaluator — and a configuration blueprint you control.

"My first impression is that it's really spot on. I compared its analysis against my own review of the concept note from over a year ago and they were quite aligned. That level of consistency with expert judgment is what sets it apart."
"Many DAEs have a very strong technical and structuring background — but writing in a way that convinces the Donor in English is a real challenge. The linguistic opportunity here is significant, and this tool could address that."
"This is a fantastic tool for building confidence in our submissions. It not only validates the relevant information we've already included but also provides a clear roadmap of areas needing more attention."
Built for project developers: Climate Rationale Builder, Theory of Change Builder, Concept Note Evaluator, plus a Knowledge Vault of 3,000 approved project files. Pricing starts at $4,000 / 3 months, scaled to your accreditation size.
