CRIT, the architectural competition brief auditor
CRIT helps architects, organizers, jurors, and researchers assess competition briefs across eligibility, fees, jury process, rewards, and intellectual-property terms.
- For
- Architects, competition organizers, jurors, and researchers
- Worth noticing
- Its scoring distinguishes how much a brief documents from how favorable those documented conditions appear; missing criteria are excluded rather than scored as zero.
Field notes
The framework divides 15 criteria among three perspectives: who can compete, who makes decisions, and who benefits. AI proposes findings from supplied documents, but the stated method requires reviewers to check quotations against the source and correct findings before fixed rules calculate scores. In the fictional sample, coverage is 13 of 15 criteria; it separately flags a shortlisted-team honorarium and the organizer’s stated rights to use submitted ideas.
