Frequently asked questions
Is EffortGuard a certified effort reporting system?
No. EffortGuard is a pre-certification monitoring and gap detection tool. It does not replace your institution's certified effort reporting process required under 2 CFR §200.430. All effort must be certified through your institution's approved system.
Which federal regulations does EffortGuard monitor?
§200.430 (effort reporting), §200.308 (prior approval), §200.405 (allocability), §200.333 (records retention), and §200.303 (internal controls).
Can I connect EffortGuard to Claude AI?
Yes. EffortGuard includes a native MCP connector for both Claude Desktop and Claude.ai. Ask compliance questions with live portfolio data directly in Claude.
Does the 76% threshold apply to all federal awards?
No. The 76% key personnel effort threshold applies to NIH awards only per NIH Grants Policy Statement §9.2. It is not a universal 2 CFR 200 requirement.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel anytime before day 14 and you will not be charged. Starter plans have no annual commitment requirement.
