Summary

Add draft application for Canada's G7 GovAI Grand Challenge (Rapid Solution Labs).

  • Deadline: December 1, 2025 at 3:00 PM ET
  • Prize: Up to $10,000 CAD (targeting 18-29 age category)
  • Team: Nikhil Woodruff (CTO) + Pavel Makarchuk (Director of Growth)

Why 18-29 Category

Strategic choice: dedicated youth prize pool likely has fewer production-ready AI systems competing. PolicyEngine's 100K+ users speaks for itself without needing CEO on the application.

Why Apply

PolicyEngine is a strong fit for this "citizen-centric public services" challenge:

  • Already a production system serving 100K+ users
  • Cross-country deployment (US + UK) aligns with G7 scope
  • Open-source = transparency narrative they want
  • Directly addresses making policy understandable to citizens

Files Added

  • g7-govai/ - Complete application folder with:
    • grant.yaml - Metadata
    • README.md - Overview
    • application/ - Questions and draft responses
  • Updated grant_registry.yaml

Next Steps

  • Review draft responses
  • Check actual application form questions at portal
  • Submit by Dec 1, 2025
