Why It Won — our reading

The category name itself tells you the axis it won on. Database migrations are a place where a mistake stops production, so handing them to agents only makes sense if there is somewhere safe to fail first — and that is exactly what this design builds, running and verifying against a protected copy of production. Demonstrating it on a real PostgreSQL instance with real data, rather than a mock, is probably what separated it from the field on technical credibility.

This is our own analysis based on the official announcement and the project's own materials. It is not the organizer's stated reasoning.
