Climate Finance Intelligence is your new approach to project development and management. Start with a single tool for $450. Bundle tools for your role from $4,000.00 per quarter. Institution-wide access is quoted by scope. No surprises: every price is listed here.
As the only field-tested knowledge platform for climate finance practitioners, our tool has been presented directly to technical and review teams at the world's top multilateral funds. It has earned a near-perfect rating from project developers at one of the largest GCF Delivery Partners and is a proud U.S. Commercial Service Gold Key client. Several Accredited Entities and Focal Points are integrating the platform into their capacity-building programs.
Each assistant is built for one job: giving your team the specific analysis it needs, when it needs it. Run any one for a flat fee with no subscription required. Using several tools across a project? The quarterly packages in Tier 2 will cost you less.
Knowledge Vault access — 3,000 approved project files — is included in all three bundles. Pricing reflects the same capacity-based frameworks your Donor uses for its own accreditation and priority-access decisions.

Designed for small to medium-sized institutions with lean capacity and ambitious climate finance targets. Enterprise is a one-time deployment—not a recurring subscription. While a single external project preparation cycle costs $60,000 to $150,000 in temporary consulting fees, Enterprise permanently embeds that capability inside your institution.
By eliminating consultancy overhead, shortening revision cycles, and retaining institutional knowledge, the platform pays for itself in under 24 months. With zero renewals or per-user fees, every project your team prepares post-deployment further reduces your effective cost per use.

Climate Finance Intelligence (CFI) is a specialist AI platform built for climate finance practitioners — accredited entities, project preparation facilities, and advisory teams working with multilateral and bilateral Donor programs. It combines a purpose-built knowledge management system, AI-powered document evaluation tools, and institutional administration capabilities into a single platform designed to accelerate and strengthen the full project preparation cycle: from initial research through concept note development to funding proposal submission.
CFI is built for institutions that work professionally with climate finance — not individual researchers or general development practitioners. Its primary users are accredited entities managing active project pipelines, project preparation facilities supporting multiple applicants simultaneously, and advisory teams whose work depends on being able to produce high-quality, evidence-grounded submissions reliably and at scale. The platform is designed for team deployment, with enterprise-grade administration and cost controls.
CFI is a specialist enterprise platform, not a general-purpose chatbot. Key differences:
No, we're not affiliated with any funder. Janus Advisory Services Corp. is an independent provider and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Green Climate Fund, the Adaptation Fund, or GEF. CFI is built by a team with deep experience navigating these Donors' evidentiary standards. That's expertise, not an institutional relationship.
Your institution's data — documents you upload, queries you run, outputs you generate — is not shared with other organizations on the platform and is not used to train or update any underlying AI model. The platform operates on a zero-retention basis for query and session data. Institutional documents uploaded through the administration panel are accessible only to users within your organization. For clients with specific data residency, security certification, or contractual requirements, your account team can provide detailed technical and legal documentation.
No. The platform is designed for climate finance practitioners, not engineers. Day-to-day use — running queries, uploading documents for evaluation, accessing research outputs — requires no technical background. Administrative functions such as managing user access and Initial deployment, including any integration with your organization's identity management systems, may involve a brief setup step; your account team walks clients through this.
For most institutional clients, the platform is accessible within days of completing onboarding — there is no lengthy integration project required to start using the core research and evaluation tools. Your team can begin running queries against the knowledge base immediately. Uploading your own institutional documents and configuring team-level access adds a short additional setup step but does not gate access to the platform's core functionality.
Yes. The Master Administration Panel includes a Resource Center where administrators can upload and manage documents they want available to their team: internal templates, proprietary research, project-specific reference material, or any content that extends the platform's knowledge base with your institution's own assets. This content is accessible only to your organization's users and does not enter the shared corpus.
The climate science and national policy layers are actively maintained and expanded — new peer-reviewed literature and updated national policy instruments are incorporated on an ongoing basis, with nothing required from your team. Where your institution has authorized integration of a Donor's project library, that layer is kept current as well, on your behalf.
This is worth exploring with your account team and your Donor relationship. Many climate finance readiness and project preparation programs explicitly support capacity-building expenditures — including tools that improve the quality and efficiency of project preparation. Whether CFI qualifies under a specific program's eligible cost categories depends on the grant terms and how the expenditure is framed in your budget justification. We can support clients in preparing the documentation needed to make that case.
Enterprise clients receive dedicated onboarding and methodology transfer through our partner Qavah Earth, covering setup of the administration panel, team access configuration, and integration with your existing project preparation workflows. Ongoing support is available for technical issues, corpus coverage questions, and workflow optimization. Your account team can walk through the options.
Onboarding isn't just an interface walkthrough. Staff working inside CFI learn how the assistants reason about evidence, causal logic, and compliance screening — skills that carry into other parts of their work, not just the next submission. That capability stays with your team after onboarding ends; it doesn't walk out the door with a consultant.
