# epiensos

> epiensos is a full lifecycle grant platform for companies. It discovers funding opportunities from the original sources every 6 hours, scores each one for fit, win probability, and expected value, turns one click into an AI drafted application that never misses a deadline, tracks every deliverable after the award, and learns from every outcome with a Think, Act, Learn, Repeat cycle. It exposes a REST API and an MCP server so AI agents can do everything a person can do.
