Guide · Day 5

Submit & judging

A rough idea of what the panel cares about — not a full mark scheme — plus your audit log and the submit form.

What the panel looks for

Aim here — details stay with the judges

This is a compass, not the scorecard. Do these well and you’re in good shape.

Companion

Socratic, not an answer machine

Hints, questions, and clear machine identity. If it dumps full answers on request, that’s a miss — even if it “works.”

Evidence

Audits you can show

Real probes with Pass/Fail notes beat “we tested it and it was fine.” Your audit log is for this.

Project Card

Complete and honest

Charter, dataset limits, system instructions, safety logs. Gaps you admit clearly score better than pretend perfection.

Pitch

Clear in a few minutes

What you built → one live behaviour → one safety receipt → one limit. Rehearse the outline on the Pitch page.

Bonus territory

Things that tend to impress

Not required. Not a secret points list. Just extras that often stand out.

A fail you fixed

Show a probe that failed, what you changed, and a re-test that passed.

Sharp demo

One learner question where your bot scaffolds instead of dumping — live if you can.

Honest limits

Name a data gap or behaviour risk without spinning it. Judges notice.

Exact weightings and rubrics stay with the panel. Don’t optimise for rumour — optimise for a Socratic companion with evidence.

Your actions

Log · then submit

During Days 3–4 (and before pitch)

Audit log

Open the shared spreadsheet. Pick a short Test word, mark Pass or Fail, note what the bot said and what you changed.

File → Make a copy if the sheet asks you to (follow mentor instructions).

When mentors say submit

Submit form

One form per trio unless told otherwise. The form will ask for your work — especially your published AI Studio URL.

Have ready
  • Published AI Studio URL — the public share/publish link to your companion (e.g. an ai.studio link), not a private draft
  • Project Card / files the form asks for
  • Optional: domain + exam board (e.g. GCSE Maths · Edexcel)
Before you paste the link
  • Publish/share the app in AI Studio
  • Open the URL in a private/incognito window — judges must reach it without your login
  • Quick check: Setup → ask a question → feedback still works

Private draft links won’t work for the panel.

Pitch next?

Rehearse the 3-minute outline, then come back here to submit when you’re told.
