Outstanding

1. Project Rationale and Strategic Alignment

1.1 Problem Rationale, Pain Points, and Business Opportunity / Sustainability Impact and value delivered upon completion. 10%

LEVEL 0The problem is not clearly identified or is presented only as a general concept. Lacks supporting data and fails to demonstrate the project's necessity.

LEVEL 1The problem is identified but described too broadly. Lacks quantitative data and evidence of actual impact. Stakeholders are not clearly defined, and there is no numerical support.

LEVEL 2Clearly defines the problem and pain points with some supporting data (e.g., costs, time, or losses). Begins to link the issue to business opportunities, but has not yet fully demonstrated market size or comprehensive social/sustainability impacts with quantitative metrics.

LEVEL 3Precisely defines the problem with robust quantitative data (Impact size/ Cost/ Market size). Clearly illustrates Pain Points and credibly links them to "Strategic Business Opportunities"

1.2 Strategic Alignment with Your Organization's Strategy. 10%

LEVEL 0Fails to identify organizational strategy. Response is irrelevant to the question or unable to explain any connection between the project and strategic objectives.

LEVEL 1Identifies strategy only in broad terms. Fails to specify Strategic Goals or clear KPIs. The connection to the project remains a general statement.

LEVEL 2Clearly identifies the organizational strategy and goals. Explains how the project supports these objectives and references specific KPIs, though measurable values (targets) are not yet clearly defined.

LEVEL 3Precisely identifies Strategic Pillars, Goals, and concrete KPIs. Explains a clear Cause–Effect relationship and demonstrates numerical results or specific Targets that the project significantly drives.

1.3 Synergistic Alignment with Group Strategy or Affiliates. 5%

LEVEL 0Fails to identify any connection with other business units. The project operates as a Standalone initiative without any concept of Synergy.

LEVEL 1Identifies potential for collaboration but lacks a clear plan. The synergy remains a theoretical concept without identifying specific Synergy Partners.

LEVEL 2Clearly identifies relevant business units or affiliates. Explains the model of synergy (e.g., sharing data, systems, resources, or customers) but lacks quantitative results or a clear scaling plan.

LEVEL 3Precisely identifies alignment with Group Strategy or relevant business units. Systematically explains Synergy Mechanisms (Process / Platform / Data / Supply Chain / Customer Ecosystem) with measurable numerical results or a concrete, validated action plan.

2. Novelty and Differentiation

2.1 Industry & Competitor Differentiation 10%

LEVEL 0Fails to identify clear differentiation. Follows existing practices or general industry standards with no new elements.

LEVEL 1Identifies conceptual differences or partial functional, but lacks clarity on superiority or supporting evidence.

LEVEL 2Explains tangible differentiation compared to the industry or competitors (e.g., cost, quality, speed, or customer experience) with supporting rationale, but lacks clear quantitative evidence.

LEVEL 3Demonstrates a clear Unique Value Proposition (UVP) compared to the industry or competitors, backed by quantitative evidence or actual results that prove a sustainable competitive advantage.

2.2 Advanced Technology Development and Business Model Innovation 10%

LEVEL 0Uses existing market solutions directly. Adopts Off-the-shelf solutions without developing internal knowledge or intellectual property.

LEVEL 1Involves some level of Customization or Configuration, but the Core Technology belongs to others and the primary components remain unchanged.

LEVEL 2Integrates various technologies or methodologies to develop specific Core Modules/Algorithms/Platform Components. Creates technical differentiation but does not yet possess full ownership of the technology.

LEVEL 3Develops entire core components resulting in Proprietary Technology, Unique Products/Processes, or Innovative Business Models. Supported by empirical evidence such as prototypes, full roll-outs, Patents, Copyrights, Trade Secrets, or models that are highly difficult to replicate.

2.3 First in market/ First in industry 5%

LEVEL 0Not first implement (Sell or use) in CP

LEVEL 3First in martket (Country/ Industry/ Regional) or First in industry

Process: At least 1 criterion must be met
- Supported by official industry reports or verified by subject matter experts.
- Received recognized industry awards, professional certifications, or formal expert validation.

Product: At least 1 criterion must be met
- Successfully launched ahead of all competitors in the market.
- No existing equivalent in the market (backed by market research and competitive analysis).
- Industry & Media Recognition
- Strong competitive advantage that prevents imitation, such as Intellectual Property (IP) rights or high entry barriers.
