How are the proposals evaluated?
Evaluator compensation:
Phase 1 project: 1h20m/project
Phase 2 project: 2h/project
The evaluator needs to address around 25 criteria by:
• Grading each of the criteria by points 0-100
• Provide short explanation (300 characters) on each criterion
• The application form and the evaluation form are not following the
same structure
Each proposal is evaluated by 4 experts
It is claimed that these are people from specific verticals (tech experts)
and general business experts. The evalators are not informed if they are
evaluating as tech or business experts.
Black box: The evalautors do not know each other, cannot communicate
with each other nor see each others evaluations.
