# What is  Proof of Achievement (PoA)?

Under F10, Projects are required to deliver against their planned milestones throughout the lifespan of their project as outlined in the Statement of Milestones. When individual milestones are met, funded projects must submit Proof of Achievement (PoA). Proof of Achievement differs from the monthly progress reports that projects must submit during the project lifecycle. Proof of Achievement is essentially documentation that has to be submitted by the Projects showing that the acceptance criteria for a milestone as set out in the Statement of Milestones have been fulfilled and the milestone has been completed.

Funding is contingent on the Proof of Achievement being submitted and accepted as set out in this guide.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.projectcatalyst.io/previous-funds/fund10-docs/project-onboarding/funded-proposers-fp/statement-of-milestones/how-to-use-the-milestone-module-in-f10/what-is-proof-of-achievement-poa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
