A funder that gave\nto several of your peers ranks highest. Every result carries real grant\nevidence — which peers the funder funded and for how much.\n\nINPUTS (provide one):\n- peer_orgs (PREFERRED): names or 9-digit EINs of organizations LIKE the one\n  you're raising for — peers, aspirational orgs, or orgs with a similar\n  mission. The graph is keyed by recipient EIN, so naming real peers yields\n  the sharpest evidence. Up to 12 are used.\n- org_description: a SHORT CAUSE PHRASE, not a paragraph — \"food bank\",\n  \"mental health\", \"affordable housing\". Fallback for when you cannot name\n  peers: it matches the phrase against IRS BMF organization NAMES and, if\n  that finds nothing, against the NTEE cause taxonomy, then uses the\n  best-funded organizations in that cause (biased to `location`). It does\n  NOT search mission text, so a LONGER description matches FEWER orgs, not\n  more — keep it to the cause, and prefer peer_orgs. The response reports\n  which pass produced the peers in `peer_discovery`.\n\nRECOMMENDED WORKFLOW: establish the org's mission/cause, then name 2-5 peer\norganizations and call this tool.
