Connected workflow
EVERYTHING INCLUDED
One toolkit instead of forms, spreadsheets, folders, and email threads.
For early adopters, every feature below is included at no cost.
Programs & categories
One workspace, many programs. Each program supports multiple categories with their own forms, rubrics, and sponsors.
Branded public pages
Logo, primary color, and brand font on every applicant-facing page. A polished public experience without custom setup.
Form builder
Build custom forms with short text, long text, dropdowns, file uploads, per-category fields, and blind-review options.
Save & resume
Applicants pick up where they left off with a secure resume link sent by email. No passwords to remember.
Nominations flow
Community members nominate businesses or people. Nominee receives an email, accepts, and completes their application.
File uploads
Photos, PDFs, supporting documents. Stored securely. Reviewers click to view inline. No Dropbox sharing required.
Weighted rubrics
Per-category scoring criteria with weights, max scores, and reviewer guidance. Averages, medians, and spread computed automatically.
Reviewer portal
Judges sign in to a focused experience. Set due dates, bulk-assign workload, randomize queue order, and keep scoring mobile-friendly.
Conflict-of-interest handling
Reviewers flag conflicts before scoring. Admins see them on the dashboard and reassign cleanly. No awkward conversations.
Finalist comparison & committee packets
Run initial and finalist rounds, compare finalists side by side, review score spread and notes, then print or export a clean packet.
Automatic reminders
Keep applicants, nominees, and reviewers moving with reminders for incomplete submissions, upcoming due dates, and overdue reviews.
Branded automatic emails
Submission confirmations, info requests, reminders, finalist notices, and winner announcements sent with your organization's branding.
Audit trail & exports
Owners, admins, and reviewers each get the right access. Status changes are logged, and key submission and scoring data can be exported.
AI summaries
Coming soonEach application gets a Claude-generated overview with highlights and red flags. Reviewers stay in control; the AI just speeds the read.
VS. THE STATUS QUO
A cleaner alternative to forms, sheets, and email threads.
