What Qualifies
- AI is central to the solution’s decision-support value proposition.
- The solution helps organizations analyze information, predict outcomes, recommend actions, evaluate options, or plan scenarios.

Judging Criteria
How entries are evaluated.
Submissions are evaluated for decision impact, AI relevance, insight quality, business value, enterprise readiness, adoption fit, measurable outcomes, and credible differentiation.
Improves the quality of decisions
Judges consider whether the solution helps organizations make faster, clearer, more accurate, more informed, or more effective decisions.
AI central to decision value
Entries should show meaningful AI use in areas such as prediction, recommendations, optimization, anomaly detection, forecasting, modeling, simulation, analysis, or knowledge retrieval.
Useful guidance, not just data
Strong submissions should show how the solution turns information into practical insight, options, forecasts, recommendations, risk visibility, or next-best actions.
Clear measurable outcomes
Judges look for evidence of measurable value, such as better forecasts, faster planning, improved prioritization, lower risk, stronger margins, better resource allocation, or improved business performance.
Practical to deploy and trust
Submissions should show maturity in areas such as integrations, scalability, reliability, security, explainability, reporting, administrative controls, documentation, governance support, and customer support.
A distinct decision intelligence approach
The evaluation also considers whether the solution offers a distinct, credible, or meaningfully superior approach compared with standard analytics, business intelligence, or AI-enabled reporting tools.
