Grant Budget Narrative Reconciliation Agent

In a grant proposal, the same numbers show up in the budget table, the budget justification and the project narrative, and they drift as drafts change. This agent reads all three and extracts every amount, staff role, effort percentage, year and item of equipment. It recalculates totals and compares the sections with each other. It then checks the funder's rules: caps, allowed costs, equipment thresholds and the correct base for indirect costs. Each mismatch is listed with every place it appears. The writer fixes them, and the agent runs the whole check again until everything lines up. It then prepares a short summary of the final figures for sign-off. The grant writer or PI approves the final budget. Edge case: indirect costs calculated on total cost instead of the allowed base are flagged with the correct calculation shown.
