The rule to remember

Other PEI government assistance can DISQUALIFY the project outright at Innovation PEI's sole discretion, not merely grind the base. Per-project cap and annual envelope are still unpublished after reading the guidelines and live page in full, and 'available budget' is a stated award criterion, so the missing number is the one that decides whether a producer gets paid.
