The shipper frontier
Looks for native-shape products built on what models can do now. Rewards the team that shipped this week, punishes the deck that did not.
"If it shipped, it counts. If it didn't, it isn't a project yet."
What this judge rewards
Velocity with taste
Shipped fast and still chose well.
Honest changelogs
A trail of decisions, not just announcements.
What this judge punishes
