Automation of R&D+i Grant Justification & Data Integrity
We designed and deployed a digital ecosystem that automates the generation of financial information in the format required by Grant Authorities, as well as the collection of technical evidence and cross-validation of all data (timesheets, holidays, sick leave, travel, etc.) to prevent issues in the event of financial or technical audits.

Less Admin Burden
Risk Eliminated
Eliminated financial risk — full or partial reimbursement of public funds — associated with uncrossed data or regulatory non-compliance in the event of an audit.

The Challenge
Engineering and financial management teams were dedicating a disproportionate amount of time to gathering required information by extracting it from multiple systems, and checking for potential non-compliance by reconciling financial data against regulations and technical activity. A single inconsistency could trigger a penalty in the event of an audit — potentially resulting in full or partial reimbursement of public funds — and call into question the management of public funding across all active projects.
Our Solution
AITOM designed and built an end-to-end digital ecosystem for R&D+i grant justification, structured around three integrated components: custom connectors that fully eliminate manual reporting by automatically extracting all required information from source systems; a data integrity engine with automated cross-validation to detect inconsistencies before any audit; and dynamic document generation that produces submission-ready files in the exact normative format required, guaranteeing 100% compliance on every justification cycle.
Key Results
- 1
Automated Evidence Extraction: custom connectors pull all required information automatically, eliminating every manual reporting effort from engineering and finance teams.
- 2
Data Integrity Engine: an automated cross-validation layer detects any inconsistency across records during the grant justification process — before the grant authority ever reviews the data.
- 3
Dynamic Document Generation: submission files are produced automatically in the exact format required by regulations, guaranteeing 100% compliance on every grant justification.
- 4
Approximately 35% reduction in administrative overhead per justification cycle.
- 5
Full elimination of financial risk associated with partial or total reimbursement of public funds due to inconsistencies detected during an audit by the Grant Authority.
