Grant agreements
Nothing starts until this one comes back
A grant agreement is usually two signatures, one deadline and a great deal of waiting, and the waiting is almost never anybody’s fault. It is simply invisible.
What this looks like today
Two organizations, four calendars
The deadline is real and the status is not
The signed copy has to survive for years
What Baton does about it
- 1
Route it in the order it must happen
Finance approves, then your director signs, then theirs. Each person is only asked when it is their turn.
- 2
Set the expiry and let it chase
A due date makes the row go red on the board before the funder’s deadline does.
- 3
Archive the signed file and its proof
The certificate is part of the PDF, so the evidence survives independently of us.
What is true right now
Every line below describes something the product does today. Nothing on this page is a roadmap item wearing a feature’s clothes.
- Documents can carry a due date, and overdue is a status you can filter to.
- The reporting-deadline clause is searchable, because search reads inside the file.
- Both organizations get the same signed PDF with the same hash.
- Deleted agreements stay recoverable for as long as your retention policy says.
