Pitch session · 25 October, 09:00
Cargo Window decides what flies to off-world bases: survival first, fair rules for the rest, every cost visible before launch.
5 min pitch including the demo · 5 min jury questions
Have it ready
“What did you create that wasn't already there?”
“Cargo tools today rank loads by price and assume a live link. We built a planner that measures a manifest in days a base goes without, so a bid can never outrank someone's air. Its rules are deterministic, so Earth and Mars can each compute the manifest and confirm it with one 8-character code across a 44-minute delay. And its request desk turns one message from a crew into a booking and asks every missing question at once.”
About 25 seconds out loud. The originality table on the idea page backs up each claim.

Stage checklist
Plan B
If something breaks
- Claude is busy or the key is missing: the offline reader and the brief template take over by themselves. Say it out loud: “This is the mode a base uses during a blackout.”
- A wrong click: press Start over and jump back in at Try what happens if….
- The server is unreachable: the browser carries its own copy of the planner, so everything except Claude keeps working. The status pill switches to “Offline”.
Rules 12.4 and 12.5
What to disclose
- AI in the product: Claude reads requests and drafts briefs, called from our FastAPI server with the Anthropic Python SDK. It never decides what flies.
- AI used to build it: Claude Code, Anthropic's coding assistant (model Claude Opus 5.5), wrote most of the code, documentation and screenshots under the team's direction. Every member should be able to explain the packer, the need-date check, the fingerprint and the limits on the AI.
- External resources: FastAPI, Pydantic, Uvicorn and the Anthropic Python SDK on the server; Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui and PptxGenJS in the web app; Google Fonts and the public FNV-1a hash algorithm.
