Concept screening for drone capture designs
Upload your concept, check each other’s Net area / Projected area values, then compare the designs in pairs to narrow down the list.

Use the same name next time to continue where you left off.
Catalogue
All designs
Each design needs pictures, a short description, a novelty statement and its Net area / Projected area. The ratio is checked by everyone else before the design can be scored.
Peer review
Check the Net area / Projected area values
Every member except the uploader reviews each value. Confirm it if it looks right, or propose your own value with a short reason. When everyone has answered, the value is locked: unanimous confirmations keep the stated value, otherwise the median of all values is used.
Designs without a value
Imported or older designs. The designer (or anyone who knows the figures) states the value; that person becomes the uploader.
Review status
Compare these two designs.
Choose the stronger design on each criterion. Net area / Projected area and novelty are shown for reference; they are not voted on.

Everyone registered here is expected to review each value they did not upload. Admins can lock a value early or remove members who are not taking part, so they no longer hold up reviews.
