Team Structure & Ambassador Model

Every Team. One Coach.

Each team is paired with a dedicated SpinSci Ambassador — a coach, guide, and SpinSci liaison whose only job is to help you succeed.

Team Composition

3 participants per team

Teams are expected to collaborate across these four pillars:

  • Problem definition
  • Technical solution design
  • Business and market framing
  • Demo execution

SpinSci Ambassador

A mentor, not a contributor

Your Ambassador will coach you on:

  • Problem framing & healthcare relevance
  • Solution clarity & differentiation
  • Judging criteria & timing gates
  • Demo expectations & storytelling
Note: Ambassadors are appointed in advance and formally coached prior to the event to ensure consistency and quality.
Problem Framework

Every Solution. Same Anchor.

Each team must structure their solution around four required sections — clarity here is the difference between advancing and being cut.

01

Problem

  • Clearly articulate the problem being solved
  • Define who experiences it and why it matters
02

Pain Point

  • Operational, financial, clinical, or experience-based pain
  • Identify current gaps or inefficiencies
03

Solution

  • Describe the AI-driven approach
  • Explain why AI is the right tool
  • Highlight key differentiators
04

Demo

  • Demonstrate the solution in action
  • Show working logic, workflow, or prototype
  • Demo quality drives advancement
Judging Model & Cut Rounds
