| OriginalityIs the idea fresh, or a well-worn demo with a new coat of paint? | 15% |
| ExecutionDoes it actually run? How much of the promise is real? | 20% |
| UsefulnessWould a real person use this? Is the problem worth solving? | 15% |
| Technical QualitySound architecture and sensible tradeoffs for a 30-minute build. | 12% |
| Design & UXClarity, polish, and accessibility of the interface. | 12% |
| Effective Use of AIIs AI load-bearing here, or decorative? | 13% |
| Completion in TimeHow much shipped inside the clock, per the disclosure fields. | 8% |
| Demo & PresentationDid the live demo land? Was the process explained well? | 5% |
