Five Circles
Choose one Circle upon arrival. It determines your track direction, dedicated judging panel, and path to the regional champion slot — which advances to the global competition.
| # | Circle | Focus | Color |
| 01 | 🏠 Superparent | Modern family life: coordination, memory, decisions, automation | Orange |
| 02 | 🤝 AI Companion | Everyday AI interaction, companionship, ADHD & ASD focus tools | Blue |
| 03 | ⚡ Life OS | Personal productivity, second brain, ADHD executive function tools | Green |
| 04 | 🌿 Body Intelligence | Health tracking, fitness, wellness, body awareness | Purple |
| 05 | 🃏 Wildcard | Anything valuable that doesn't fit the other four tracks | Teal |
Scoring
Final standings combine three dimensions: Eazo platform likes (50%), expert panel (40%), and peer vote (10%).
| Weight | Source | Details |
| 50% | ⭐ Eazo Platform Likes | Opens after Day 1 submission; accumulates all Day 2; locked at end of Day 2 |
| 40% | 👩⚖️ Expert Panel (6 judges) | Scored on unified rubric: Problem Clarity · Creativity · Feasibility · Track Fit · Demo |
| 10% | 🗳 Peer Vote (max 3 votes each) | Each participant can cast up to 3 votes for other entries |
| 💡 Comeback mechanic: Rankings after Day 1 are based on the judges' 40% weight only. Day 2 user likes are added on top — final standings can shift. The better your product, the more users you attract, and the bigger your shot at moving up. |
Expert Panel Rubric (40%)
The expert panel scores each submission on a unified 100-point rubric, weighted as 40% of the final result.
| # | Category | Description | Points |
| 01 | Problem Clarity | Clearly defines a real, high-friction problem; explains target user and why existing solutions fall short | 20 |
| 02 | Creativity & Innovation | Genuine originality; not a rebuild of an existing tool or a generic chatbot wrapper | 20 |
| 03 | Feasibility | App must be live with real backend & database, independently accessible by any user at submission time | 35 ⭐ |
| 04 | Track Alignment | Strong fit with the chosen Circle's direction; demonstrates deep understanding of the target user | 15 |
| 05 | Presentation & Demo | Clear, compelling live demo; judges understand product value without extra explanation | 10 |
| ∑ | Total | | 100 |
⭐ Feasibility (35 pts) carries the highest weight: App must be deployed with a real backend & database, independently accessible by judges at submission time.
