The grant door · built for one visitor

You clicked from a grant application. Good.

TL;DRYou clicked from a grant application. Here's the proof, checkable: a finished, free, accessibility-first literacy museum built solo and in the open.

Most applications ask you to trust a pitch for a thing that doesn't exist yet. This one is the opposite: the thing is already built, it's free, and every claim on this page is checkable in the next five minutes. So don't trust me — check me.

The build is done. The grant buys reach, not development — which means zero execution risk for you: you can use the whole thing today.

What it is

Only Humans Score is a free, ad-free, tracking-free literacy museum that teaches one skill the moment demands: how to spot machine-made lies and score information for yourself instead of swallowing it. It plays like an arcade — a music-typing game at the front door, a "spot the lie" game, puzzles — and opens into a cited museum behind the play. The thesis in four words: the machine drafts; only humans score.

Why it fits an accessibility mission

It's built accessibility-first, and that's not a label — it's the architecture:

  • Audio mode — every page reads itself aloud, so the museum is navigable by ear.
  • A reading-level ladder — from emoji-simple to full academic, so any reader has a door.
  • Disabled-led — built solo by a disabled creator, on a fixed income, in the open.
  • No login required to use it — nothing gated, nothing to buy, nothing tracked.

Honest footing: accessibility here is AAA by aspiration — never claimed certified; gaps are named as they're found, and the floor is "the most accessible we can make it," improving with every pass.

What the money does

Reach and accessibility for a finished free tool. A grant promotes it to the readers who need it — especially disabled readers served by the audio-first design — and funds accessibility improvements. Not living costs, not overhead: distribution for a public, free resource. The product is verifiable today, so the grant carries no build risk.

Check it yourself — five minutes

Don't take the numbers on faith. Open the doors:

"Trust me bro" isn't the pitch. War and Peace at volume is — cited, in the open, yours to check. That's the whole difference.

Who built it — and how to reach him

Honest footing (the one rule of the house: no lying). Every number on this page is countable on the live site and dated; nothing is inflated, no endorsement is claimed, no contact detail is invented. This is a door built for grant trustees and funders — an invitation to verify, not a sales page. The dignity is the floor.
