Rechecked in full on 3 October 2026 against the current official page (ten grant-decision rows). Allied Material remains an approximately JPY 7.5 billion decision in FY2025, without a calendar decision date or cash-payment disclosure. The 助成率 table states half the applicant's costs as an upper limit, not an exact project-wide ratio."
