Judging Criteria

  • Value + Human Insight (30%)
    Whether you understand the person you're building for, whether what you've made would genuinely matter to them, and whether it answers the problem statement directly rather than an easier one sitting next to it.
  • Technical Execution (30%)
    The depth of what you actually built. Is it more than something you could vibe-code in a couple of prompts?
  • Creativity + Design (20%)
    How novel your idea is and how well it's designed. Are you doing something fresh, and is it genuinely pleasant to use?
  • Feasibility + Scalability (20%)
    Whether it could work in the real world now, and grow from there across other domains, contexts and teams rather than just the one you demoed.
