The candy plant hasn't stopped running in three weeks, and across fourteen machines something is always right on the edge of going wrong: a bearing running a little hot, a die overdue for a reset, a sensor feed that doesn't quite match what showed up in the batch log. Catching the one that actually matters before it turns into a shutdown is the hard part. Your job is to build a Sigma app that watches the floor and gives someone a way to catch it in time.

The September 2026 challenge, the second qualifying round for Workflow 2027, used five years of hackathon archive data covering teams, projects, and voting. Builders built a Sigma app with an AI agent that audited the record to help organizers plan the next hackathon. Judges scored on innovation, execution, impact, and presentation, and the top scorer advanced to the Finals.
