Impactful
Does the proposal describe an urgent problem worth solving, and will the solution have a transformative impact? Is the proposal sufficiently ambitious either in its progress toward a solution; the number of direct beneficiaries served; the size of the geography served; or intensity of impact on a small but vulnerable population or geography?

Score	Minimal to Transformative
0.1-0.9	Failed to present an adequate, well-timed solution to a substantive problem; approach struggles to achieve results with no indication of positive impact; insufficiently ambitious.
1.1-1.9	Described a cautious solution to a problem that lacks scope or timeliness; approach achieves only marginal results lacking in both depth and breadth; nominally ambitious.
2.1-2.9	Presented an appropriate solution to a serious and pressing problem; approach shows promising impact with limited breadth or depth; acceptable
3.1-3.9	Conveyed an effective solution to a difficult and dire problem; approach describes substantial impact with either considerable breadth or depth;
4.1-5.0	Illustrated a powerful solution to a compelling and crucial problem; approach delivers impressive impact with both breadth and depth; exceptional level of ambition.
