HackYeah 2026 Scorecard

Every finalist with public code, reviewed against its task's official weights without knowing the result, shown next to what the jury decided. Scores are out of 100; the tick on each bar marks the 50% a project needs to win.

Reviewer vs jury

The reviewer's top pick won in 1 of 5 tasks where the winner's code could be reviewed. Only Finance Without Intermediaries agrees: ProofBond, the one entry that leaves no admin or upgrade key behind.
Winners leaned on spectacle. A drone command centre over satellite imagery (Smart City), a 3D operating room (Sport & Healthcare) and product renders with a demo video (Defence) all scored lower on the repo than at least one other finalist. The jury watched five-minute pitches; the reviewer read code.
Category fit cost the most points. GROUND ZERO scored 5.5 on relation to Smart City, ViviOR 4.5 on Sport & Healthcare and JustMate 5.0. The jury seems to have forgiven a loose fit when the demo was striking.
Missing materials hurt in the repo, not on stage. Jakobiany won Cracow without barriers with the deepest engineering but no deck, video or business model in the repo, which is why the reviewer placed it third.

These are AI reviews of the public repos, not the jury's scoring sheets. The jury also saw each HackTribe entry and the live pitch; the reviewers read code, decks, screenshots and commit history but did not run anything. The Sport & Healthcare review ran inside the JustMate workspace.
