Composes with	The only individual door is a book about science, so this record's use is negative: it stops a reader from spending a week drafting a Sloan proposal that no programme would read.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Sloan appears on most lists of open-source and science funders and is the wrong shape for a user: institution-only, no unsolicited proposals, and a book programme as the sole individual route. Recorded as a refutation, which is the useful outcome. The USD 60,000 book ceiling is the one number a person could reach, and it buys writing time rather than compute.
