Precedent was always a valid criterion for federal grants — the index just didn't cover them. Now: ingest captures ALN/CFDA numbers from fetchOpportunity (grants.alns); nightly federalPrecedent workflow (04:45) queries USASpending award search per distinct program (free official API, 3-year NH lookback) and stamps program_state_award_count + sample recipients onto open grants (multi-ALN keeps highest). Match retrieval feeds the same funderStateGrantCount input and 25-point tiers foundations use; detail page shows the recipients-evidence table with an incumbent-renewal caution. Also: detail refresh now rotates oldest-verified-first (serverMapGrantVerification) — the Set-based partition re-fetched the same 200 every pass, leaving 365/565 grants ALN-less. Live: 564/564 grants ALN-tagged, 156 programs swept, 85 with NH history, 468 grants carrying precedent, first federal easy-wins (66pts, 25/25 precedent, Aug-24 deadline). 158 tests green.

HelmDocs Grant-Match Outreach Engine
Automated pipeline that matches open grants to NH nonprofits, then runs a personalized email drip whose success metric is a booked demo call. The grant match is the lead magnet — match accuracy is the prime engineering directive.

Relationship to novelpad-desktop
This repo deliberately mirrors the novelpad-desktop stack so a future merge is a directory move, not a rewrite:
- Yarn 4.5.0 + Turbo monorepo, Node 22.16 (volta), TypeScript ^5.9.3
- Postgres + pgvector + Drizzle (0.44.6, pinned via
resolutions), actions/queries pattern - DBOS for durable jobs/cron (worker-app pattern)
@google/genaion Vertex; embeddingsgemini-embedding-001@ 1536 dims (identical to HelmDocs RAG — never mix embedding models)- React Router v7 for the review UI
Merge rules: all packages stay in the @novelpad/ scope with names that never collide with novelpad-desktop workspaces (outreach-*). Files copied from novelpad-desktop carry a provenance header (source path @ commit) — diff against origin at merge time. No live code sharing; drift is fixed at merge, by design.
Boundary: separate repo and separate Postgres on purpose — outreach tooling and sourced contact data stay outside the compliance-scoped product repo/DB.
Workspaces
| Workspace | Purpose |
|---|---|
packages/config |
Shared tsconfig/tailwind base (copied from novelpad-desktop) |
packages/outreach-core |
Drizzle schema (grants, orgs, profiles, contacts, matches, pipeline_events), actions/queries, hard gates |
packages/outreach-ai |
Gemini client, embeddings, org-profiler + mission-fit-judge agents |
apps/outreach-worker |
DBOS executor: ingestion crons, expiry sweep, scoring runs, Apollo sync |
apps/outreach-review |
Human review queue (RR7). No auth by design — run behind IAP/localhost |
Development
yarn install
yarn build
yarn typecheck
yarn test
Migrations: yarn create:migration <name> inside packages/outreach-core (server-only — no client DB in this repo).
Local infrastructure
docker-compose.yml mirrors novelpad-desktop's compose conventions (pgvector image, healthcheck-gated startup), trimmed to this repo: Postgres 16 + pgvector on host port 54341 (novelpad's stacks use 54321/54331 — all three run side by side), plus worker and review services built from the root multi-stage Dockerfile (same image, different command — the novelpad website/auth pattern).
docker compose up -d postgres # just the database
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:54341/helmdocs_outreach \
yarn workspace @novelpad/outreach-core migrate
docker compose up -d # full stack (worker + review UI on :3100)
Migrations always run from the host — drizzle-kit is a devDependency and deliberately absent from the production image. The DBOS system schema initializes itself into the same database on worker boot (the dbos schema; ignore the misleading *_dbos_sys URL in DBOS's boot log — the shared pool override wins).
