Thanks for sharing the Cycle 50 report the strict approval rate (1/3, 300k OP vs 4.47M OP requested) clearly signals a high bar on capital efficiency and conviction from the Grants Council.
Would love to see a bit more detail on common decline reasons and how approved grants map to Season 9 intents/KPIs to help delegates better evaluate grant strategy over time.
