4-17 April: Manual competitions, proposals and pushing past MVP stage

A clearer MVP -> MLP path emerged through external competition support and marking improvements.

CaseCrest

This fortnight moved CaseCrest closer to a minimum lovable product. The work was split between product improvements for competition delivery and more structured proposals for partners and sponsors.

Product

  • Shipped manual/external competition support so CaseCrest could list opportunities even when they were not fully hosted on-platform.
  • Continued work on individual/team registration flexibility.
  • Continued filtering improvements for jobs and roles.
  • Improved marking rubric structure.
  • Processed a large batch of built up admin into consolidated notes -> feeding into product and operations follow-ups.

GTM and enterprise

  • Continued professional-network follow-ups and meeting outreach.
  • Created proposal and deck material for partner conversations.
  • Worked through enterprise value positioning and sponsorship angles.
  • Kept society follow-up moving across priority universities.

Next

The next priority is delivery: support live and upcoming competitions, keep university follow-ups moving, and keep converting user feedback into product improvements.
