“The problem is not AI.
The problem is how it is used.”
Igor Razbornik · 25+ years of project writing · 37 cohorts
Joint Research Centre · Working Paper 02/2026 · Santoleri, Rentocchini, Lelli
By end of 2024, 40% of Horizon Europe proposals showed detectable AI-assisted writing. Those proposals received lower evaluation scores, were less likely to meet the quality threshold, and less likely to receive funding.
The problem is not AI. The problem is how it is used.
Most project writers use AI
at the wrong stage.
The standard approach: write a short concept note — two pages — then ask AI to expand it into a full proposal. This produces smooth text built on thin thinking. AI cannot invent. It can only expand what is already there.
This is the most common workflow among experienced project writers. It worked at 82 points. It does not work at 92.
What you are buying
Incubator:
Everything you get
in three training days.
Three days in a room in Malmö
A live, in-person working session with 20 confirmed project opportunities. Not a webinar. Not a course.
A complete project draft
By Day 3 you have a real, evaluator-ready draft built on your specific project idea.
Miles
The AI system you use during and 30 days after the training. It runs the 26-step methodology. You do not need to know the steps.
The WinCode methodology
26 steps built over 12 years that give your project idea the logical architecture evaluators reward.
Your AI thinking partner
Miles doesn't write
your proposal.
It sharpens your thinking.
Miles is not ChatGPT with a project writing prompt. Before it asks you a single question, it reads your call fiche. It identifies what your specific programme values, what your evaluators are looking for, and where most proposals in that context lose points.
Miles does not let you skip steps. Each step is confirmed before the next begins — because Step 12 is built on Step 10, which is built on Step 5. Miles knows it. It carries it. Your only job is to think about your project idea.
No blank page. No guessing what comes next. No writing a single sentence until your thinking is complete.
How does a conversation with Miles look like?
Miles works for any programme
30 days free access after training
You leave with a draft and a full month of Miles access to refine it section by section — at your own pace, in your own language.
The logic audit
Miles reads your proposal
the way an evaluator will.
Planning
Theory of Change
A map of why your project will work — from the problem diagnosis through the activities to the lasting impact. Miles checks that every link in the chain holds.
Impact Pathway
Does each activity logically connect to an outcome — and does that outcome contribute to your stated impact? Miles traces the pathway and flags broken links.
Behavioral Needs Diagnosis
Open-question surveys analysed by AI — not Likert scales. You discover what your target group actually thinks, not what you assumed they would say.
Design
Behaviour Change Logic
Have you diagnosed why your target group is not already doing what you want them to do? Miles checks that your activities address the actual barriers — Capability, Opportunity, Motivation.
Proactive Mitigation Strategy
Have you built your risks into the work plan — not just listed them? Miles checks that every identified risk has a corresponding activity, not just a note.
Most Significant Change Stories
Can you prove the change happened — not just that the activity occurred? Miles helps you define the evidence of real behavioral change before you submit.
Audit
What makes this project different?
Miles tests your uniqueness claim against existing funded projects in the same field. If a similar project already exists, you will know before the evaluator finds it.
Do we have firm needs analysis?
Miles checks whether your needs analysis is grounded in real evidence from your target group — not assumptions confirmed by Likert scales.
How sound is our implementation?
Step 26 runs the same scoring logic an evaluator uses. If Step 26 flags a gap — you fix it here, not in the rejection letter.
If you have written EU projects for years
This section is
specifically for you.
You know the structure. You know how to read a Programme Guide. You have written needs analyses, work packages, SMART indicators. None of that is wrong.
What changed is the threshold. Two years ago, a well-written concept note expanded into a coherent proposal was enough to score 88. Today evaluators are trained to distinguish between a proposal that was planned and a proposal that was written. The difference shows up in the logical connection between your problem diagnosis and your work package design — a connection that concept-note thinking does not produce, and that AI expansion cannot invent.
The 26-step methodology was built in 2013 specifically to solve this. Not to teach you what a work package is. To give your thinking the architecture it needs before you write the first sentence.
What evaluators are rewarding in 2026
The threshold moved.
Most project writers don't know yet.
88
points · 2 years ago
→
92+
points · effective threshold today
In several recent KA220 calls, the effective funding threshold has moved above 92 points — proposals that would have been approved two years ago are now on the waiting list.
Behavioral analysis, not needs description
High-scoring proposals explain why the target group behaves as they do — identifying specific Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation barriers. High-scoring proposals increasingly show behavioral analysis aligned with COM-B logic.
Outcomes, not outputs
The difference between a manual produced and a practice changed. Evaluators in 2026 are trained to spot this distinction. Proposals that don't make it visible lose points on impact criteria.
Quantified social return
SROI — Social Return on Investment — lets you express impact in concrete terms: euros of value per euro invested. SROI framing is appearing in proposals that score above 90 — and evaluators trained in behavioural impact assessment are increasingly rewarding it.

Who attends
Three types of professionals
come to this training.
📝
The experienced writer
You have been writing projects for years. Your workflow: concept note, then draft, then AI to speed up the narrative. Your last proposal scored well — but not funded. The methodology that got you to 82 points is the same one keeping you at 82 points.
🚀
The newcomer with a real idea
You have a clear problem to solve and an organisation ready to move. What you need is a structured process that produces a complete, evaluator-ready proposal — and partner connections that make it credible. You want to start correctly.
🔍
The evaluator or consultant
You assess proposals or advise on funding strategy. You want to understand how the new generation of project design works from the inside — how AI is being used correctly and incorrectly, and what separates 84 from 92.
⚠ Not the right fit?
If you are looking for an AI tool to write your proposal while you sleep, please do not apply. This is for professionals who want to work harder on their logic, not skip the thinking.

What happens in the room
Three days. One complete draft.
Four project opportunities.
You arrive with an idea. You leave with a complete, evaluator-ready draft — and three confirmed partnership involvements.
Day 1
Diagnosis
From problem description to behavioral analysis
- ●Why evaluation shifted from activity metrics to adoption metrics
- ●COM-B in practice: analysing your specific target group
- ●Behavioral Segmentation (Steps 4 & 5): beyond demographics
- ●The Behavioral Gap Map (Step 6): Current vs. Desired Behavior
- ●The Impact Pathway (Step 12): from input to behavioral outcome
- ●First working session with Miles
Evening — Project Pitching
Each participant presents in 3 minutes: the problem, the target group, what expertise they need. In a room of 20 organisations, the gaps fill quickly.
Day 2
Architecture
From analysis to intervention design
- ●Designing Interventions (Step 14): Work Packages as behavioral change mechanisms
- ●AI Co-Design with Miles: drafting and stress-testing activity logic
- ●Outcomes vs. outputs: what you produce vs. what changes
- ●Peer review: does your design solve the barriers you identified?
- ●Risk Management (Step 16): identifying unquestioned assumptions
- ●Key Value Indicators: measuring adoption, not attendance
Evening — The Bohemian Corner
Informal dinner where the real partnership work happens. Away from the agenda, over food and a drink, participants share what they are building, who they need, and what they can offer.
Day 3
Value
From good project to funded project
- ●SROI in practice: calculating the economic value of your project's impact
- ●Miles narrative audit: identifying vague language before the evaluator does
- ●The Innovation Argument (Step 18): methodology as a quality signal
- ●Key Value Indicators (Step 22): proving behavioral change, not just activity
- ●Final pitch: presenting your project to the room
After training — 2 online follow-up sessions
At 3 weeks and 6 weeks: review, refinement, and submission preparation.
The multiplier structure
You work on one project.
You leave with four.
Every participant develops their own project. But the structure of the three days is designed to make more than one outcome possible — most participants leave involved in four project opportunities.
Your project — A complete, evaluator-ready draft by Day 3
Partnership in Project #2 — Your expertise fills their gap
Partnership in Project #3 — Their network complements yours
Connection in Project #4 — Built from a conversation between sessions
🎤
Day 1 Evening — Project Pitching
Three minutes. Your idea. What you need. Who in the room has it.
☕
Between sessions — The Bohemian Corner
The informal conversations happen over coffee and dinner. "Your experience fits exactly what I'm designing." These become partnership agreements.
🤝
By Day 3
Same three days. Four times the opportunity.
The people in the room with you
Your trainers.

Sanja co-designed the Miles AI system and brings deep expertise in EU project strategy, proposal coaching, and partnership development. She leads the pre-training strategy conversations and the follow-up sessions.
In Malmö, Sanja manages the partnership structure — the project pitching, the Bohemian Corner, and the follow-up process — so that what happens in the room turns into active project partnerships.
The Bohemian Corner
Partnerships form over dinner,
not business cards.
On Day 2 evening, participants gather for a dinner in one of Malmö's Lilla Torg restaurants. Away from the agenda and the flip charts, the real conversations happen — who is building what, who needs what, who can offer what.
Several partnerships formed at Bohemian Corner dinners have been active for 3+ years. This is not incidental. It is part of the design.
After three days
What participants say.
Four participants, four programmes, four outcomes. In their own words.

Developed by
WinCode Predictive is the architect of the 26-step project-writing methodology. Built on 25 years of international evaluation experience, the system solves the “logic gap” in modern EU grants.
While traditional training focuses on form-filling, WinCode introduces Behaviour Change Design, a discipline currently missing from the professional market but mandatory for high-scoring proposals. Integrating Miles AI with behavioural logic (COM-B), WinCode provides the technical framework required to consistently cross the 92-point funding threshold.
