1. Concept
• Creative, novel and innovative
• Relevance of pain points addressed
• Proposed Architecture / system diagram
2. Impact
• Practical usability potential
• Viability on a global scale
• Relevance to the masses
3. Scalability
• Ease of implementation
• Easy to understand and elaborate design
• Assumptions and constraints

Pre-finale - prototype stage

Prototypes will be judged on the following criteria:

1. Code
• Quality and Level of Code
• Coding standard, beautified and well-maintained code, external libraries
• Use of Algorithms, APIs, Logic, Frameworks and external libraries in code
2. Design
• Maturity of open-source technologies/frameworks used
• Interface and design of APIs for analytical insights
• Data and metadata management and scalability for higher volumes of data
• Scalability of the prototype to achieve the desired end state
• Portability of the prototype to Azure environment is preferred
3. Overall Usability
• Use of relevant/ latest dataset
• Additional features/ insights
• Lesser bugs and Documentation
• Collaborative tools and ease of solution adaptability
• Comprehensiveness of the solutions including app in terms of functionality and working given the idea/concept
4. Prototype Build
• Minimum viable product for implementation
• Relevant metrics to be taken care of such as accuracy, adaptive mechanisms, etc.
• Good coding/ development practices to be followed
• Presentation of the prototype
