Nothing on the board is wrong or expired. Here is how we keep it that way.
Every call is read from the organiser's own page, checked again before it closes, and taken down when it does. The numbers below are counted from the board itself.

Every call is read from the organiser's own page, checked again before it closes, and taken down when it does. The numbers below are counted from the board itself.
The pipeline
Four steps. A call that fails any of them does not reach the board.
We read public listing pages from funders, institutions, residencies and prizes, daily for most and every 6 hours for the big platforms. 297 sources are being crawled, 211 of them verified by a person.
Organisers can also list a call themselves.
A language model reads the call's page and extracts the title, organiser, deadline with its timezone, fee, award, eligibility and what to send. It gives a confidence for each field. Then fixed rules in our code override it wherever the rules are stricter.
Every live call is fetched again each week, and again in the 48 hours before its deadline. If the deadline or fee has changed, the call leaves the board until a person has looked at it.
243 of 243 live calls checked in the last 7 days.
A call goes live on its own only when every field has a confidence over 0.9, the deadline is more than 72 hours away and it comes from a verified source. Everything else waits for a person.
108 calls are waiting for review right now.
When a deadline passes, the call comes off the board within the hour. Three failed fetches in a row also take a call down, and a person is told.
The no-fee rule
"No fee" means the organiser's page says there is no fee to enter. If the page does not say, or we are not sure, the call shows "Fee not stated". Fees are shown exactly as the organiser states them, in their currency.
Deadline confidence
Each deadline gets a confidence score from 0 to 1. Under 0.8, the call is held for a person to check against the source before anyone sees it. Over 0.9 is high confidence, 0.8 to 0.9 is medium.
Corrections
Every flag on a call is read by a person. Changes we find on re-checking are logged as a new version of the call, so the history is kept.
