Panel Review

You've got your ideas in and shared which ones you love. You've influenced us, now it's our turn. We'll narrow the focus to those ideas that are well developed, well researched, original and feasible. We judge submissions on:

Marketability

Will the product fill an unmet need? Can it be sold at a reasonable price?

Mainstream Appeal

How wide of an audience does the product appeal to? Did it receive strong support through commenting and feedback in the community?

Competition

Do any similar products already exist? Is this idea different or better?

Manufacturing

Is the product quick and simple to produce? Can it be efficiently engineered and manufactured?

Innovation (the "Genius" factor!)

Does your idea truly provoke the statement... "I wish I'd thought of that!"
