Online Scorecards
We designed your scorecard to focus on three project qualities we believe are correlated with a teams probability to achieve their own, well-dened impact success: 1. 2. 3. Clearly Measurable and Veriable Social Impact High Capacity and High Readiness Overall Impressions Can they do it?

At this Semi-Finalist stage we are looking to identify ALL teams with a high probability of delivering clearly measurable and objectively veriable social impacts to the world. Your help in identifying those teams is vital to our supporting students: your judging assessments and comments will be shared anonymously with teams as a powerful resource that will help rapidly accelerate their social innovation progress. Your online scorecard (sample in Appendix A) will appear on each project page youve been assigned to judge. Each scorecard has the same eight questions in a multiple choice format. Each question will have an important note to help you establish context for your choice of response. Certain questions will require a brief comment to help us break ties and help students gain clearer insights.
