Questions regarding non-profit sustainability, AI-native metrics, and submission best practices.

Hi everyone, I am building a project for this hackathon focused on the "Education & Human Potential" category. I have a few questions to ensure I align with the judging criteria:

Revenue Reporting for Non-Profits: My project, Trezò Kreyòl, is designed as a community-driven, non-profit digital encyclopedia for Haitian Creole. How should I best report "Revenue" for a non-profit sustainability model (e.g., grants, donations, sponsorships) to ensure it meets the hackathon's requirement for "Business Viability" and "Real Revenue"?

AI-Native Operations: I am implementing a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline that utilizes human-in-the-loop verification via an admin dashboard to ensure cultural accuracy and zero-hallucinations. Will the judges prioritize projects that include human-in-the-loop verification tools in their admin panels as part of "AI-Native Operations"?

Google Cloud Credits: As I am building a community-scale encyclopedia for a marginalized language, are there additional Google Cloud credit tiers available for non-profit humanitarian projects beyond the standard $100 bonus?

    Thank you for your questions! As per rules, revenue is assessed based on earnings from paying customers. The Innovation Orientation Session linked here provides the answers to your questions about nonprofit organizations and revenue. The AI-Native Operations criterion assesses "the extent to which AI is live in production and executes key decisions" and so a competitive submission will discuss the architecture that may include human-in-the-loop verification. For the purposes of this hackathon, resources are available through Google Cloud and accessibility questions can be found here.
