Consideration is given to the extent to which the solution has already been implemented and used by the intended audience, the extent to which the solution is unique and whether it has been marketed before, and how transparent the AI algorithm is. Lastly, the jury will also be looking at the social impact of the solution and whether sustainability is at the forefront of the design principles.
