All 14 submissions were evaluated against five criteria. The rubric below is what judges used to select the finalists.
Is the problem clear, real, and tied to one of the three prompts? Is there a specific target user who would use this on Monday morning?
What is the potential for monetization, social impact, or human impact — based on the number of users reached and value gained per person?
Compelling video walkthrough and clear written narrative. Does the demo respect the viewer's time? Does the writeup make the case in one read?
Functional, accessible app that delivers on the pitch. Can a judge use it on their own laptop without hand-holding?
Ability to support the app and operations through the business model — funding path, paying users, or measurable impact. Credibility over ambition.
