Level of uniqueness, creativity, value and (potential) contribution of the analytical techniques developed
Innovation in any of the three dimensions of analytics: descriptive, predictive or prescriptive. Submissions that span more than one dimension of analytics are preferred
Implemented approaches are preferred but not required; to the extent implemented savings are claimed in the submission, the judging panel will seek verification of the implementation
Submissions that have the potential for more widespread use will be given added consideration, but particularly clever innovations with narrow focus are also highly valued
