q2 · i? · design · r2

Layer 1 LLM-judge scoring of 1,612 preliminary-round videos from 77 teams on four dimensions (1–5 scale). The judge's dimension scores show "Accuracy and Logic concentrate near the top of the scale" while Adaptability and Engagement spread lower; all-submission means were 4.31, 4.19, 3.77, and 3.86 (Table 1).

"The two content dimensions, Accuracy and Logic, score higher than the two delivery dimensions, Engagement and Adaptability, and the pattern holds for most individual systems. Accuracy and Logic concentrate near the top of the scale, while Adaptability and Engagement spread into the middle and below, with Adaptability lowest overall."
