What it has produced in institutional hands

01 — No-objection letter issued two weeks later

National development bank · West Africa

The project proponent brought us a transportation Concept Note that had been sitting in the no-objection queue. CFI assessed it section by section against current Donor criteria, surfacing missing evidence and gaps in the climate rationale. The team revised on that basis, and the long-delayed no-objection letter was issued two weeks afterwards.

02 — Near-perfect rating from five project developers

GCF-accredited Delivery Partner · two-week structured trial

Over a two-week structured trial, conducted under a Memorandum of Understanding signed at Director-General level, five project developers ran CFI against their live workflows. The platform scored near the top of their evaluation — and Janus shipped enhancements based on their feedback within the trial window.

03 — Concept Note endorsed, now at Funding Proposal stage

National environmental trust fund · Latin America & Caribbean

A national environmental trust fund used CFI to strengthen a conservation Concept Note ahead of no-objection review, testing its climate rationale and evidence base against approved precedent. The Concept Note was endorsed, and the project has since advanced to the Funding Proposal stage.

"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."
Multilateral Donor Reviewer
★★★★★
"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."
Multilateral Donor Reviewer
★★★★★
"There is clearly real potential here. We're trying to improve both efficiency and access. There are entities that need considerable handholding, and if something can help them translate ideas into English, and into Donor language and finance logic, those different layers of translation are truly useful."
