Judging criteria
Criteria as listed on the official page; weights are not stated there, so they are drawn equal. source ↗
Evaluation of backend robustness, database design, and structural viability. Codebases must demonstrate production-grade engineering, optimal resource handling, and the capacity to scale seamlessly under live enterprise traffic.
Assessment of system security, data privacy, secure API integration, and risk mitigation. Projects must reflect structural integrity, algorithmic transparency, and responsible AI alignment for real-world deployment.
Measuring the novelty, originality, and practical viability of the SaaS platform. The software must address a well-defined market friction or enterprise pain point with a clear, transformative execution strategy.
Evaluation of the platform's underlying business mechanics. Teams must present a viable financial framework, such as usage-based API metering, tiered subscriptions, or transactional loops designed to capture real revenue.
Scoring the interface quality, user onboarding flow, and aesthetic execution. The platform must deliver a clean, high-end, and frictionless user experience that bridges advanced functionality with premium design.
Assessment of the technical keynote presentation and the live deployed MVP. Evaluation focuses on clarity, storytelling impact, and the functional execution of core workflows demonstrated within the product demo video.
