Quality of the implementation (working prototype, technical depth, stability). Use of appropriate technology stack. Is the solution technically sound and well-built? Is the solution intuitive, accessible and user-friendly? Is it aesthetically pleasing? Does the design of the product elevate its function and original idea?
