What counts as 'manual' grant reporting?

Anything done by hand: typing line items from receipts, copying values between a budget and a Word doc, chasing approvals over email, and pasting the final report into a funder portal.

Will I lose control if Quittal automates this?

No. Quittal drafts and reconciles — you always review and approve. Nothing is sent to a funder without you clicking submit.

How does Quittal handle the narrative parts?

Quittal drafts the written sections using your funding agreement, milestones and the evidence you've uploaded. You edit the tone and detail — the structure is already correct.

Is this just generative AI guessing?

No. Every number is reconciled to a real receipt and approval. The narrative is grounded in the evidence pack — not invented.
