Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data actually safe?
Yes. Every challenge runs on public, synthetic, or abstracted data - never anything proprietary or sensitive. You define what's shareable before anything goes live.
What happens after I submit?
You'll hear back within 48 hours on whether it's a fit. If it is, we jointly define the challenge brief - you stay in control of scope throughout.
How is this different from hiring or a consulting engagement?
It's a different, faster way to get multiple competitive solutions in parallel - the same model already validated through NASA-sponsored challenges.
