It must be clear what was built during the hackathon.

16. Judging Criteria

significant contribution to addressing the specific climate problem it is
aimed at?
! FOUNDATIONS - is the project based on solid foundations of best
available scientific, economic and behavioural knowledge and evidence?
! PORTABILITY - to what extent can the project be replicated or adapted
for different countries or regions to have a global impact?
! DISTRIBUTION - is there a realistic route to delivering this project to
those who need it? e.g. via an NGO partner or set of pilot users?
! SUSTAINABILITY - is there a feasible model for ongoing development of
the project and does the team show a strong desire to see the project
through?
! INNOVATION - how genuinely novel or creative is the approach? does the
project do something not previously possible or available?
