• Technical Implementation
  Does the solution present sound and rigorous methodology, and appropriate use of Data Science techniques - data engineering , feature engineering, modelling.
• Extra points
  Points for exceptional, creative, and possibly ‘original’ solutions that the judges enjoyed. An example could be obtaining additional relevant datasets beyond the ones suggested, or incorporating datasets in a unique, creative way.
