Scoring Rubric

How the Flux Challenge is scored.

Six dimensions. Tier-calibrated weights. AI scoring engine. Every Flux Challenge submission is evaluated within minutes of submission and a pass/fail result is delivered immediately.

How it works

Real evaluation. No subjectivity.

Every Flux Challenge submission is scored by an AI scoring engine calibrated to the Flux Standard rubric. The engine evaluates your live URL, GitHub repository, and written narrative against six dimensions -- each weighted according to your tier. Scores are delivered within minutes of submission. There is no human review queue. There is no appeals process. The scoring engine's decision is final.

What is evaluated

Your live URL (the working product), your GitHub repository (the build), and your written narrative (your decisions and reasoning). All three are required. Missing any one results in automatic disqualification.

How scoring works

Each of the six dimensions is scored 1-10. Tier-calibrated weights are applied to each score. The weighted total is your overall score.

When you get your result

Within minutes of submission. The scoring engine begins evaluation immediately upon receiving your submission package. Pass or fail is delivered to your dashboard and email. If you pass, your credential is issued instantly.

Dimension definitions

What each dimension measures.

20% at Flux-1 down to 10% at Flux-5

Problem Comprehension

Did you understand what was actually being asked? This dimension evaluates whether your solution addresses the root problem -- not just the surface symptoms. Higher tiers demand identification of unstated constraints and second-order implications.

25% at Flux-1 down to 15% at Flux-5

Output Completeness

Did you deliver everything required? This dimension evaluates whether all required deliverables are present, functional, and complete. At lower tiers, completeness is the primary filter. At higher tiers, it is table stakes.

15% at Flux-1 up to 22% at Flux-4

Domain Breadth

Did you operate across multiple business functions? This dimension evaluates whether your solution demonstrates competence across product, engineering, marketing, operations, finance, and customer -- not just your strongest domain.

20% at all tiers

Execution Quality

How good is what you built? This dimension evaluates the quality of the actual deliverables -- the working product, the written materials, the design, the code. At all tiers, execution quality is a consistent 20% weight.

10% at Flux-1 up to 20% at Flux-5

Strategic Judgment

Were your decisions the right ones? This dimension evaluates whether you made good choices -- about what to build, what to prioritize, what to cut, and why. At higher tiers, this becomes the decisive differentiator between candidates who pass and candidates who do not.

10% at Flux-1 up to 20% at Flux-5

Velocity Signal

Did you move with the urgency the tier demands? This dimension evaluates not just speed but strategic sequencing -- whether you made the right decisions in the right order. At Flux-5, a timestamped work log is required to evaluate this dimension.
