  • Demonstrate progression of value over time.
  • Restructure existing CIC benefits rather than introduce entirely new service lines.
  • Prioritize feasibility for a small internal team.
  • Solutions that significantly expand CIC’s operational scope beyond what is outlined in the case brief may be penalized.

Prizes

The winning team will receive a certificate recognizing their achievement at Consultech 2026.

Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

(Technical Component Only)

The following rubric applies specifically to the technical proof of concept.

The technical component will be evaluated on:

Technical POC Relevance

  • Clearly supports the proposed membership model
  • Demonstrates how member experience changes by role, stage, or engagement
  • Shows segmentation logic or adaptive experience

Feasibility

  • Realistic for CIC’s small internal team to implement and maintain
  • Avoids heavy infrastructure or unrealistic builds
  • Clearly states assumptions and scope limits

Use of Existing CIC Benefits

  • Uses CIC’s current offerings effectively
  • Restructures and sequences value rather than introducing unnecessary new services

Logical Implementation

  • Clear system flow and user experience
  • Demonstrates how engagement evolves over time
  • Shows how members are guided to next actions

Clarity & Demonstration Quality

  • Clear explanation of functionality
  • Well-structured demo
  • Easy to follow logic and value delivery

Note: Strategic analysis and business reasoning will be evaluated separately during in-person judging.
