Grant application tip: reviewers at DAO treasuries and ecosystem funds read dozens of proposals per cycle. Words like "innovative," "leverage," "synergy," and "robust" show up in almost all of them, which means they carry zero signal — they don't help a reviewer distinguish your proposal from the pile.
Before submitting, search your draft for those words and replace each one with the specific number or fact that actually justifies the claim. "Our innovative approach" becomes "the first implementation of X on Y network." "Robust testing" becomes "furnished with 400 hours of testnet runtime and 3 external audits." The fact does more convincing work than the adjective ever could, and it's usually sitting right there in your notes, just not on the page.
