Save time by generating templates of existing channels

Introducing two new challenge templates

Survivors: In this fresh and dynamic approach, only the selected ideas make it through each phase. Ultimately, decision-makers choose the top ideas from this elite group of survivors, streamlining and enhancing your selection process.

Double evaluation template is perfect for challenges with lots of ideas. Screen all ideas with a quick yes-maybe-no-method. Move promising ones to a more detailed numerical evaluation and select the top ideas based on the evaluations.
