Submission Lifecycle

The Submission Lifecycle dictates how data flows from the participant's keyboard to the organizer's database.

Partial Resubmission (The FlowMint USP)

Traditional forms force you to resubmit the entire form if one field is wrong. FlowMint introduces Partial Resubmission.

If an organizer rejects Task 2, only Task 2 unlocks during the Resubmission Phase. Tasks 1 and 3 remain cryptographically locked and cannot be maliciously altered by the participant after they were approved.

Single Shared Asset Model (PPTs)

During HackSpire, the "Upload your PPT" field was an individual task, leading to 4 identical PPTs uploaded by a 4-person team.

The Solution:

  1. Team-Level Ownership: PPTs belong to the Team ID, not the Member ID.
  2. Universal Upload Rights: Any team member can upload or update the PPT, preventing bottlenecks if the Team Leader is asleep.
  3. Strict Version History: Uploading a new file does not overwrite the old one. It creates a stack: `v1 (Archived) -> v2 (Archived) -> v3 (Current)`. Reviewers can traverse the history to see how the team progressed.
