We encourage every "NEW" provider to apply for this competition. Below are suggested categories:

• Data from instrumenting websites and Apps - App data, mobile data, geolocation data, web traffic data, etc.
• Data from Sensors including cameras, ship AIS sensors, connected Vehicles, etc  which are processed into events or widget counts.

An initial review will be done by BattleFin to check for New Providers, sufficient documentation for evaluation, and relevancy. These qualified firms, along with the submitted products, will be considered for round one scoring.

Ranking will take into consideration the following:

First Round scoring will be based on information from documentation submitted on the following attributes

• Completeness - the provided information is enough to get a good understanding of the data. 
• Novelty or Uniqueness Factor - Your product is one of a kind. There are no other known sources of this data 
• Application and Use Cases - Clear documentation, scenarios and examples of how data can be used. 
• Insights or dashboards created to illustrate use case and value of the data in predicting a firm's performance and/or macro events will get higher weightage in scoring. We strongly encourage data firms to onboard their data to Snowflake and Exabel to surface insights.
  

Second Round will be based on a brief 5 min presentation and demo of an optional analytics dashboard or insights/signals followed by a 5 min Q&A session. This will be done at the NYC event.
