Score a team
The bar: would a dealer principal sign off on this in under 15 minutes? Not whether it's clever — whether it's usable.
Pick your name above before scoring — your card is saved against it.
Did you diagnose before you built?
Evidence behind the decision. First 45 minutes are for deciding, not making.
Did AI do real work?
Analyze, reason, transform — not just write copy. Biggest single category.
Would somebody actually use this?
Hand it to a BDC rep or service advisor on Monday. Used, or filed away?
Could someone else run it?
Public tools only. The resource guide is the proof.
Guardrails
No invented facts, diagnoses, incentives, rates, or warranty claims. Human check called out.
Data handling
PII stripped, ID fields kept, clean file obviously named.
Did it work on data you'd never seen?
The 3:20 mystery file. No rebuilding. Big tie-breaker.
Can you explain it in 7 minutes?
Problem → approach → demo → value → mystery result.
Ties go to: mystery test → guardrails and data handling → AI workflow.
