Jurors review five competition boards on easels, each with a white massing model on a plinth, in a daylit gallery.

Which submission best meets the brief?

Competition Intelligence turns the brief into explicit criteria and measures every submission on the same site model, data and weights, so the jury decides on a comparable, recorded basis.

The questions it answers

Five questions, answered on one evidence base.

  1. 01Does each submission meet the brief’s mandatory requirements?
  2. 02How does each entry score on the same criteria and weights?
  3. 03Where is each entry strong or weak, and why?
  4. 04How sensitive is the ranking to the weights?
  5. 05Can the jury explain its decision to entrants and the client?
