From its README
FundsLink Academy
A non-profit platform that funds South African students who fall through NSFAS cracks — a student creates a profile, submits a funding application, and receives AI-matched bursaries, with a human making every funding decision.
This system handles money and the hopes of vulnerable people. It is built to industry standard under the KSDRILL constitutional framework — see CLAUDE.md for how work happens here and ARCHITECTURE.md for how it is built. Status
Stage-gated build (G0 → G6). Foundation complete through Stage 03; frontend is next.
Stack
Angular 22 (Vercel) · FastAPI (Railway) · PostgreSQL + MongoDB + ChromaDB + Redis · RS256 JWT auth. Monorepo per ADR-002, contract-first per packages/contracts/openapi.yaml. Repository structure
See ARCHITECTURE.md for the system map and docs/README.md for the full document index and precedence order. Quickstart
