BOUNTIES.

WHAT TO BUILD

• You can scrape public Form 5500 and Schedule A filings for a set of employers.
• For each employer, you could build a one-page report with its likely renewal timing, a reason to call now, and one coverage gap versus similar companies.
• The report could also include anything else you think a broker should know.

STRETCH GOAL

Put the reports on a dashboard that makes decision-making and prospect engagement easy.

GOOD TO KNOW

Public Form 5500 and Schedule A filings are a suggested starting point.

WHAT TO BUILD

• UFC: build a round-win prediction model and a win-method prediction model using historical fight data. Both should achieve greater than 50% accuracy.
• Basketball: build win prediction models with greater than 50% accuracy for each league — NBA, WNBA, men's college basketball, and women's college basketball.
• Present the results for a general audience, with a breakdown of how you calculated and evaluated the models so the work can be verified and repeated.

STRETCH GOAL

Add models that help calculate point spreads or other prop bets.

GOOD TO KNOW

STAATY will provide data for both sports. The small team behind STAATY.com is building a fan engagement tool and is available to meet teams and answer questions.

WHAT TO BUILD

• Accept a brief covering who is being interviewed, the topic, and the desired content, such as a founder story, customer case study, or podcast segment.
• Develop a line of questioning and conduct a live, roughly 10-minute voice or text interview. Follow up with curiosity, adapt when something better emerges, and still land the assignment.
• Turn the interview into the assigned content, plus the pull quotes worth keeping. It should read like a story and add a valuable asset to a knowledgebase.
• The interviewer should run as an MCP tool inside Claude so the winning team can keep building on it with Prologue.

GOOD TO KNOW

Judged on the interview: would the interviewee do it again on purpose, does the output read like a story rather than meeting minutes, and does it add something valuable to a knowledgebase? Teams can ask head of product Chris Gleim questions before starting and will receive user access to Premise's current state, which is in the middle of a pivot. This is a real feature on Premise's roadmap.

WHAT TO BUILD

• Build an online video game that can be embedded in the team website and promoted in-stadium with a QR code.
• Make it fun for kids and aligned with the Louisville Bats brand.
• Choose your format: baseball gameplay, a design-your-own uniform or character game, trivia, or another creative idea.

GOOD TO KNOW

The Bats are willing to reward multiple winning teams.

WHAT TO BUILD

• Let users search for physicians and facilities by name and ZIP code inside Kynd Choice.
• Show useful provider details, including specialty, credentials, location, and NPI.
• Check whether a selected provider participates in each displayed plan's network.
• Clearly distinguish confirmed in-network, out-of-network, and unknown results.
• Add a Recommend a Doc feature when a user selects a plan that does not cover their provider.
• Recommend comparable in-network providers based on specialty, proximity, and other available attributes.
• Explain why each provider was recommended.

STRETCH GOAL

Support provider preferences for an entire household and rank plans by how well their networks cover everyone's preferred care.

GOOD TO KNOW

This must be built into the Kynd Choice shopping experience, not a HealthSherpa-hosted shopping flow. HealthSherpa ONE can provide provider identity and NPI data. Plan-network participation must come from verified Kyndly network data or another authoritative source — it should never be inferred or presented as confirmed when unknown.

WHAT TO BUILD

• Pick a product you use every day (Instagram, Google Calendar, Slack, Linear, Superhuman…) and rebuild its core.
• Make it good enough to ship as an MVP — it has to actually work and be user-friendly.
• Make at least one critical improvement on the original.
• Connect a (mock) Swell account and use it to make the product smarter.

STRETCH GOAL

Bonus points: make it smarter with Swell in any way that improves the product.

GOOD TO KNOW

Swell maps how people's personalities are wired (and evolvable) across 63 traits, predicts repeating behavior patterns from those traits, and uses that to help people change the patterns they want to stop repeating. Connect a (mock) Swell account and use it — think a calendar that knows why your 2pm with Dana always runs long, or a group chat app that shows compatibility across your group. Mock data and shapes provided.

WHAT TO BUILD

• Understand language like a human and build a chatbot that gives personalized advice.
• Analyze info like a supercomputer and create an app that summarizes complex research papers.
• Generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more.
