Scope
Describe the problem statement, objectives, and constraints to ensure all participants address the same requirements and reduce scorer variance.
A well-crafted Showcase Project Assignment reduces ambiguity, ensures comparable outputs across participants, and documents obligations for both issuer and submitter. Clear requirements speed evaluation and lower dispute risk while preserving evidence of expectations and consent.
Use the assignment where reproducible output and documented acceptance criteria are required; adapt scope and IP terms to match organizational needs.
