Winning Decks What a jury will ask about this 01 “Who actually faces this problem today?”
What works: Naming one real person and what they do instead right now. Reading the statement back is not an answer, they already read it.
02 “This already exists. Why yours?”
What works: That existing tools are consumer products. Yours is built for the ministry, works offline, in the local language, on official data.
03 “Then why has nobody solved it yet?”
What works: The real blocker. No connectivity, no incentive, nobody owns the data. You only know this if you read the ministry's own reports.
