The method
Not a sprint, but sustained research
Instead of 24–48 pressured hours, teams get two months to verify, analyse and build useful solutions.
Question
We frame a testable problem, not just a topic.
Evidence
We gather sources, data and context over several weeks.
Mentorship
Experts support method, ethics and applicability.
Solution
We turn analysis into a clear public tool or story.
