Structure Work Packages and Resource Allocation
Break down the proposed EIC project into compliant work packages, milestones, and deliverable schedules covering both grant and equity components. Map internal team resources, sub-contracting requirements, and budget allocations directly to TRL advancement milestones.
Completing this action translates technical ambitions into a structured, executable, and fully costed project implementation plan. It provides the structured operational blueprint required to satisfy EIC assessors regarding execution capacity and financial discipline.
The founder must provide a comprehensive Work Package Breakdown Structure detailing deliverables, critical path GANTT charts, and precise cost estimates for labour, equipment, and subcontracting. This must include explicit risk registers tied to each major project milestone.

How do your proposed work packages map directly to advancing the technology from TRL 6 to TRL 8 within the proposed timeframe?
- 2
Why are specific activities categorised as subcontracting rather than core internal work, and does this compromise your team's long-term capability?
- 3
How have you stress-tested your budget allocations against recent supply chain inflation and wage cost increases across Europe?
- 4
What contingency plans are built into the critical path if a key technical milestone fails to clear its quality gate on schedule?
- 5
How does your resource allocation balance technical development with commercialisation and regulatory compliance tasks?
