-- **Track:** 🏡 Backyard AI.
+## Build Small (Hugging Face × Gradio) — what we're going for
+- **Track:** 🏡 Backyard AI — built for a real person (my wife, learning Kalenjin).
+- **💚 Modal — Best Use of Modal:** the translation cascade and the Cheps voice
+  both run on Modal at runtime; this Space orchestrates them.
+- **🎨 Off Brand:** a fully custom UI (editorial serif, terracotta on off-white,
+  the Kalenjin word as the centerpiece) — well past the default Gradio look.
 - **🐣 Tiny Titan:** every model is ≤4B — Whisper 74M (ASR), NLLB 600M ×2 in the
   cascade (translation), Orpheus 3B + LoRA (the Cheps voice). Small weights, real
   impact for a language with almost no tooling.
+- **🏆 Best Demo:** app + demo video + social post.
+- **👑 Bonus Quest Champion:** stacking the most bonus criteria above.
