Criterion 1 · Excellence
1.2 Methodology
What the ESR said
“The methodology is not described in sufficient detail.”
What it means
The comment points to one missing step, not to length. The model is never validated before it is applied, and every methodology remark follows from that.
What to change
Add a validation task with its own milestone, and refer to it where the methodology is introduced.
Also flagged, not in the ESR: the risk table does not cover the validation step.

Rating
Official scale: Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor
Expert's comment
“The validation step is described in one sentence and has no milestone. Evaluators tend to read this as a feasibility risk, not as a writing issue.”
Action
Add a validation task with its own milestone to the work plan, and refer to it from the methodology section.
Every aspect rated below Excellent comes with the expert's comment and one concrete action.

4.8 out of 5
for how actionable they found the report
…thanks to their report I was able to correct and refocus my proposal, understand what had actually gone wrong the previous year, what the evaluators' ESR highlighted, and what they would have expected to see.
LIF panel client, France
MSCA PF Resubmission Diagnostic, 2026
The review was rigorous, constructive, and remarkably insightful, helping me refine an already advanced proposal and strengthen it in ways I had not fully considered.

Where AI helps
- Brainstorming and outlining
- Drafting and polishing sections
- Checking the text against the guidelines
Where an expert adds
- Whether your concept is competitive in your panel
- Which aspects will lose points, and why
- What to fix first
“This reads as 3.5 out of 5 in Excellence, not 4.5.”
How an expert calibrates a score
Who evaluates your proposal
Experts who have scored MSCA PF proposals, matched to your panel and topic.
Matched to your research area, not an adjacent field. Every assignment is checked for conflicts of interest, and the expert's identity is never disclosed.
Independent
We have no link to the European Commission or its agencies and no influence on any official evaluation.
Confidential
Your materials are used only for this service. They reach only the expert assigned to your case, who signs an agreement with confidentiality clauses before receiving anything.
You stay the author
We evaluate and explain. We do not write proposals.
For universities, research centres and companies
We evaluate proposals for institutions and invoice the institution directly.
For the MSCA PF candidates you host, one by one or as a group. Tell us the call, the number of proposals and the deadline, and we reply with a proposal by email.
