Milestone-gated grant tranche disbursement schedule

A milestone-gated disbursement schedule as structured JSON: total award, ordered tranches each with an amount, a gating performance milestone, a measurable success metric, and a target date, with tranche amounts summing to the total and dates strictly increasing.

You receive: A JSON object { total_award, currency, tranches[] } where each tranche has {seq, amount, milestone, success_metric{}, target_date}, validated for sum-to-total, sequential dates, per-tranche cap, and metric measurability.

Notes

Illustrative milestone-gated disbursement schedule for a non-dilutive grant to STUD.com (pre-seed, pre-revenue soft launch). The $250,000 award figure is illustrative, sized to STUD's illustrative first revenue objective. Each tranche releases only when its milestone's numeric metric is met; the front-loaded first tranche stays at the 40 percent cap to fund launch, and later tranches gate on demand and retention evidence rather than build activity.

Scope of the check

What's verified: Verifies the disbursement schedule is structurally complete, tranches sum to the total award, the first tranche respects the front-loading cap, each gate has measurable numeric metrics, and dates are ordered. Does NOT judge whether the milestones are achievable, whether the metrics are the right ones, or whether any funder will actually structure the grant this way.
