Through CompeteX, users can apply their data science and analytics skills to create dashboards, forecasting models, or machine learning pipelines to offer solutions to challenges that involve real business problems with real-world impact.

For example, CompeteX enables collaborative governance, with authorities using the platform for campaigns that allow residents to contribute technological solutions to issues affecting the community.

Developed in-house by PangaeaX, CompeteX benefits both the organisations that host the competitions and the users. The organisations can expand their talent pool and introduce outside perspectives that can lead to greater innovation.

According to a study by ML Contests, some competitions have more than 1,000 entrants, resulting in an extensive range of unique solutions. Additionally, open innovation platforms can accelerate time-to-market and contribute to innovation cycles that are two to three times faster, a report by StartUs Insights found.

On the other hand, users gain hands-on experience, bridging the gap between theory and practice. This allows data practitioners to master tools, develop coding proficiency, and enhance their data manipulation and analysis skills.

Driving Participation Through Gamification and Rewards

To encourage users to participate in challenges, CompeteX harnesses gamification by incorporating game-like elements – such as points, badges, and leaderboards – to make things competitive and fun. This engaging experience keeps participants motivated, encourages repeat participation, and drives continuous growth.

CompeteX also rewards top performers, with some challenges offering monetary rewards. Other non-monetary rewards include certifications, public recognition, and recruiter visibility. These help individuals showcase their skills and advance their careers.

AI-Powered Evaluation

CompeteX leverages AI to deliver instant and objective evaluation of participants’ solutions, minimising human bias and delays. It goes beyond just scanning for correct answers – it assesses logic, efficiency, and intent, giving a reliable, skill-based view of every participant or team.

The AI evaluation system also allows competition organisers to more efficiently and transparently compare solutions from different participants. This deeper level of assessment encompasses not only technical accuracy but also critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities.

Through scenario-based questions and adaptive AI-driven challenges, it provides organisations with a more comprehensive view of a solution's effectiveness and a participant's skills.

Furthermore, AI-based evaluation enables competitions to be easily scaled up to accommodate entries from large numbers of participants.
