0. Startup Denmark Residence Permit — PRIORITY

Why this is Priority 0: Federico cannot register a CVR without establishing a company in Denmark. Startup Denmark provides the residence/work permit needed to do so. All grant opportunities (NCC-DK, EU) require a CVR and become accessible only after Startup Denmark approval.

1. NCC-DK Grant Pool — Phase 2 (post-CVR)

Consortium Strategy:

• Heimdall (private company) — develops and operates the EASM service
• University partner (e.g. AAU, SDU, DTU) — provides research validation, evaluation framework
• OR established security firm — provides domain credibility, shared scanning infrastructure

2. EU SECURE Project

3. Digital Europe Programme

Inputs

• docs/briefing.md — master context
• docs/business/heimdall-siri-application.md — SIRI application (primary business case)
• Specific grant call documents (uploaded or referenced)
• Budget estimates from briefing (pilot: ~7,000 kr.)

Outputs

• docs/business/heimdall-siri-application.md — SIRI application document
• docs/business/siri-application-outline.md — SIRI application outline/blueprint
• data/siri/video-pitch-script.md — Video pitch script (future deliverable)
• data/grants/{grant_name}/application-draft.md
• data/grants/{grant_name}/budget-table.md
• data/grants/{grant_name}/consortium-description.md
• data/grants/funding-tracker.json

NCC-DK Application Structure (Draft)

Based on typical Danish innovation grant requirements:

1. Project Summary — What is Heimdall, what problem does it solve, why now
2. Innovation Description — AI-powered EASM, messaging-based delivery, shadow AI detection
3. Market Need — 40% SMB security gap, dashboard problem, GDPR Article 32
4. Consortium Description — Partners, roles, complementary capabilities
5. Work Plan — Phases, deliverables, milestones (align with pilot plan)
6. Budget — Itemised costs, co-funding structure
7. Impact and Scalability — From Vejle pilot to Danish market to EU
8. Risk Assessment — Map from business case risk register
9. Alignment with National Strategy — 211M kr. allocation, SMV-CERT, NIS2

Writing Style for Grant Applications

• Evidence-based and specific — cite the 40% statistic, the 211M kr. allocation, the strategy agreement
• Align with funder language — mirror their terminology (e.g. if NCC-DK says "innovative solutions to the cyber threat," use that framing)
• Emphasise the consortium value — what does each partner bring that the others don't?
• Be realistic about timelines — grants penalise overpromising
• Include quantifiable metrics — "5 pilot clients," "4-week validation," "3 service tiers"

Invocation Examples

• "Draft the NCC-DK application summary" → Pull from briefing, write project summary section
• "What's the deadline for NCC-DK?" → Check funding tracker, calculate days remaining
• "Help me write the consortium description — partner is SDU cybersecurity group" → Draft partner roles, complementary capabilities, joint value proposition
• "Prepare a budget table for the NCC-DK application" → Itemise costs from briefing, add consortium partner costs, format for grant requirements
