Mandate Status: Declined

Reason for Decline: "Unacceptable levels of bureaucracy."

As per our highly-esteemed Mandate Review Committee, your application was deemed unworthy of the esteemed Mandate's favor.

Reasons for decline include but are not limited to:

• Excessive use of Comic Sans in your proposal.
• Inadequate use of buzzwords in your executive summary.
• Lack of clear, concise, and well-reasoned arguments for why your project would not, in fact, make things worse.
