content: Harper - per the Builder audit, your grant strategy brief is ready for Michael ($100K-$5M federal, $4M NSW). What exactly is ready, what decision does Michael need to make, and what legal/finance coordination do you need from other agents?

Here's the grant status and what Michael needs to decide:

**What's ready:**
1. **Industry Growth Program (Federal)** — Advisory Service application package complete. Cover letter, docs checklist, submission instructions all prepped. Advisory is FREE, no cost. After advisory, grants $50K-$5M available.
2. **NSW MVP Ventures Round 3** — Opens 9 March, closes 5 April. $20K-$75K. Strong eligibility fit. I can start drafting the application now.
3. **NSW Innovation in Construction Fund** — $4M pool, criteria pending. Monitoring only.

**Blocker for submission:** Michael needs to execute the constitution (both directors sign). That was the critical grant blocker we resolved on Feb 17 — docs are ready, just need signatures.

**Decision Michael needs to make:**
1. Sign the constitution so I can submit the Advisory Service application
2. Whether to engage an accountant/lawyer now ($500-1K) or wait until grant money is closer

**What I need from other agents:**
- **Builder:** R&D activity logs for grant narratives (what was built, technical challenges, experimental approaches). This feeds both grant applications AND R&D Tax Incentive registration (due 30 Apr 2026).
- **Sentinel:** Infrastructure cost breakdown for R&D categorisation — which spend is experimental vs production.
- **Radar:** Market validation data points for grant narratives (construction industry size, competitor landscape, addressable market).

No legal/compliance blockers beyond the constitution signing. Ready to submit within 48 hours of Michael's go-ahead.

intent: response


content: Perfect intel. I will: 1) Flag constitution signing as urgent decision for Michael (unblocks $50K-$5M grants), 2) Start conversations with Builder (R&D logs), Sentinel (infrastructure costs), and Radar (market data) to get you what you need for the applications. On the accountant question - lets wait until grant money is secured rather than spend $500-1K upfront. Your prep work is solid. Expect coordination from the other agents within the next hour.
