Existing needs identified is backed up with extensive research (e.g. readings, statistics, users’ feedback, etc.). Existing needs identified is backed up with limited research (e.g. readings, statistics, users’ feedback, etc.). No evidence of research. Innovativeness of solution Solution is original and novel, surpassing existing products. Solution is a good modification of existing products. Solution is a modification of existing products. Solution is an existing product. Practicality of solution Solution satisfies existing needs and can be easily implemented. Solution satisfies existing needs but require extensive resources for implementation. Solution satisfies existing needs but most probably cannot be implemented. Solution does not satisfy needs. Alignment between research and solution Solution is inspired by research on user needs, and further feedback was gathered from users in multiple iterations of solution. Feedback was gathered from users in multiple iterations of solution. Solution is inspired by research on user Solution does not align with research done. Method of Operation Method of operation is very clearly described with a prototype, and allows for authentic user experience. Method of operation is clearly described with a prototype. Method of operation is not clearly described with a prototype. Method of operation is not described with a prototype.
