What stays protected
The challenge is vendor-neutral by design. Partners never influence tasks, data, or scoring, and participants build on any stack they choose. The tasks are written by the organising team, the ground truth stays hidden until a submission is scored, and every rank comes from the same automated evaluation. That independence is why the leaderboard is worth hiring from.
