The application evaluation system is based on a 100-point scale and considers key business and infrastructure factors.

Evaluation criteria:

• Criticality of IT for business (25 points): assesses the dependence of business processes on IT systems and risks of downtime, financial losses, and impact on clients and reputation;
• Expected economic impact (20 points): evaluates efficiency gains, cost reduction, and scalability potential;
• Feasibility of implementation (15 points): considers technical and organizational readiness, resource availability, and realistic timelines;
• Co-financing readiness (15 points): assesses the ability to provide own contribution and operational stability;
• Long-term cooperation potential (15 points): evaluates infrastructure development prospects and strategic alignment;
• Compliance with ethical standards (10 points): verifies integrity and absence of reputational risks.

Additional notes:

• the passing threshold depends on the number of applications and available budget;
• the final selection decision remains with AMHG.

• Participation requires signing a service agreement.
• The minimum cooperation period is agreed upon by the parties (recommended duration — 12 months).
• Case publicity is agreed individually.
