Methodology.
Aid Audit is a declarative rules engine. As of today, we model 437 rules across the four pilot countries.
- Ireland: 93 rules across 14 files. Anchored to DSP, plus Revenue tax credits, HSE schemes, local-authority housing grants and redress schemes.
- United Kingdom: 137 rules across 15 files. DWP, HMRC, NHS, Veterans UK, plus devolved-nation handling for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- France: 150 rules across 15 files. CAF, CPAM, MDPH, France Travail, CARSAT, ONACVG, DGFiP plus département and commune schemes.
- Netherlands: 57 rules across 15 files. SVB, UWV, Belastingdienst Toeslagen, Belastingdienst tax-side, DUO, gemeente schemes.
Every rule is source-cited. Each match in your report links to the official government page that defines the benefit. We re-check rates and thresholds against the original source on a rolling basis.
How it runs.
The entire eligibility calculation runs in your browser. Your answers stay in localStorage. We do not have a server that receives questionnaire data, so there is nothing for us to leak, sell, or be compelled to hand over.
What the engine does not do.
We do not file applications for you. We do not pre-fill any government form. We do not claim to be exhaustive: rules change, schemes open and close, and edge cases require human judgment. Where the engine is unsure, the report says "unclear" and points you to the right official channel.
Open methodology.
We publish the rule-set structure and the citation list openly. The operator advantage stays with us, the trust signal stays with you.
