Radar — Funding Tracker

What Radar is

Section titled “What Radar is”

Radar is the Futuh module that monitors the daily flow of public calls for proposals and alerts you when one matches your organization. It works silently: it reads the bulletins, discards what doesn’t apply to you, scores what does, and every morning delivers a short list of candidates with their deadline and fit score.

The problem it solves is well known in any third-sector organization. Calls for proposals are published every day on the BDNS (National Grants Database), in regional bulletins, and on European platforms. Nobody has time to read everything. When someone hears about a good call it’s usually word of mouth or a generic alert, already with the deadline pressing. Radar inverts that flow: the call comes to you, not the other way around.

How it works in practice

Section titled “How it works in practice”

Radar has three internal components that act in sequence:

  1. Source tracking. A daily cron queries the BDNS and downloads new calls for proposals (national and regional: BDNS covers both levels in a single source). Each call is enriched with detail data (amount, deadline, regulatory bases, eligible beneficiaries).
  2. Fit scoring. Each call receives a score between 0 and 100 that combines two dimensions: compliance with formal requirements (60% weight) and alignment with the expected evaluation criteria (40% weight). The result is expressed as a traffic light: green from 80, yellow from 50, red below.
  3. Alert and triage. If you have Radar alerts (which we call Radar alerts) configured for specific sectors or territories, matching calls accumulate in a daily digest sent to your email. From the digest, or from the Radar inbox inside Futuh, you decide what to do with each one: discard, mark for follow-up, or send it to Gestión de ayudas to start formulating.

All daily operations happen inside Futuh using native Odoo views: a kanban inbox, a list view, a calendar by deadline, filters by sector and territory.

When it helps you

Section titled “When it helps you”

Radar is designed for any third-sector organization that works every year to find and apply for calls: development NGOs, associations, federations, social service cooperatives, social intervention entities. If your organization submits more than three or four applications per year for public funding (national or regional), Radar saves you the manual tracking work and reduces the risk of missing a call.

The typical use case is the grants officer or project technician who every morning opens Futuh, checks the previous day’s digest, reviews three or four candidates with upcoming deadlines, discards two due to structural incompatibility (for example: co-financing above 30% that your organization cannot cover) and sends one to Gestión de ayudas to start formulating.

What it does NOT do

Section titled “What it does NOT do”

Radar v0.1 has a defined scope. It is worth knowing what lies outside it:

  • It does not track active European programmes yet. The European Commission’s Funding & Tenders (F&T) portal is being enabled: the integration exists but is blocked by an expired credential. [VERIFY: cierre credencial SEDIA] Programmes such as Horizon Europe, CERV, Erasmus+, FEDER, ESF+ or LIFE depend on F&T and are deferred to a phase 2.
  • It does not draft the application for you. Radar tells you which call to look at and why it fits, but the formulation work (narrative, budget, team) happens in Gestión de ayudas, not here.
  • It does not analyse the regulatory-bases PDF in depth. The score is calculated on the structured data from BDNS (sector, territory, beneficiaries, amount, deadline). Fine-grained analysis of regulatory bases with requirement and evaluation-criteria extraction will come in a later phase.
  • It is not a retrospective search engine. Radar alerts you to open or recent calls (rolling 365-day window). It is not a historical archive of closed calls.

How it connects with other modules

Section titled “How it connects with other modules”

Radar is the entry point of the grants cycle within your instance. Its job is to locate calls for proposals and leave them ready for other modules to continue with. When a candidate deserves to move to formulation, it hands it off to Gestión de ayudas. When a team member wants to query it in natural language, Silvio reads it from here. The regulatory bases that Radar scores are not maintained by your organization: they arrive canonically from the Hub Central of Federación Futuh. And when an external request enters through Plataforma de Recepción Inteligente, it can be cross-referenced against the open catalog that Radar monitors.
