Short answer
EDG is slower than PSG because it's assessed as a project, not a pre-approved purchase. Expect the proposal stage plus assessment to run over weeks to a few months, depending on scope and how complete the submission is. The sharper and more outcome-specific the proposal, the fewer rounds of questions — which is the biggest factor in total time.
Key facts
- Slower than PSG — it's a project assessment, not a fast-track
- Proposal + assessment typically spans weeks to a few months
- Completeness and outcome-specificity drive the timeline
- Delivery and claim are separate, later stages
The biggest variable is proposal quality. A tool-shaped proposal ('we want to buy X') invites questions; an outcome-shaped one ('we'll build the capability to do Y, evidenced by Z') moves faster because the reviewer can assess it directly.
Plan the runway: approval, then delivery over months, then an outcome-based claim. EDG rewards patience and specificity — it's not the route when you need something live next week.
