contents This paper examines $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifolds as semiformal homogeneity structures, comparing two polynomial filtrations from their local models. In finite dimensions, these are componentwise equivalent, yielding isomorphic graded completions; generally, one induces a finer topology. By the Batchelor-Gawedzki-type theorem (Kotov--Salnikov), every $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifold over base $M$ is noncanonically isomorphic to one associated with its canonical $\mathbb{Z}$-graded bundle (Batchelor-Gawedzki bundle). In finite dimensions, this is the formal neighborhood of the zero section with the induced homogeneity structure. Kotov-Salnikov's graded Borel lemma extends weight-$k$ functions from the formal neighborhood to smooth ones of the same weight. Here, this generalizes to a Borel--Whitney theorem: homogeneity morphisms of formal neighborhoods lift to smooth homogeneity maps between Batchelor-Gawedzki bundles. Categorically, let $\mathsf{B}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ be the category of finite-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}$-graded vector bundles with homogeneity morphisms, and $\mathsf{Man}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ the category of finite-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifolds. The functor $\mathsf{F}\colon \mathsf{B}_{\mathbb{Z}} \to \mathsf{Man}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ sends bundles to formal neighborhoods of their zero sections. The graded Batchelor-Gawedzki and Borel-Whitney theorems imply $\mathsf{F}$ is full and surjective on objects.

This paper examines $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifolds as semiformal homogeneity structures, comparing two polynomial filtrations from their local models. In finite dimensions, these are componentwise equivalent, yielding isomorphic graded completions; generally, one induces a finer topology.

Kotov-Salnikov's graded Borel lemma extends weight-$k$ functions from the formal neighborhood to smooth ones of the same weight.
