+| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| End-to-end functionality between all components (client, server, database) | 6 | 60% | All | |
+| Smooth and usable user interface | 4 | 70% | Enrico | Mock data needs to be removed once backend is fully ready. Dashboard and Profile page not pushed yet, but already finished |
+| REST API is clearly defined and matches functional needs | 4 | 90% | James | Will need some expansion for Invite/RSVP by @Anastasiia |
+| Server Side has at least 3 microservices | 4 | 100% | All | |
+| Application topic is appropriately chosen and fits project objectives | 2 | 100% | All | |
+
+## 2. ๐ค GenAI Integration (10 Points)

+| Criteria | Points | Status | Responsible | Comment |
+| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- | ------- |
+| GenAI module is well-embedded and fulfills a real user-facing purpose | 4 | %? | Anastasiia | |
+| Connects to cloud/local LLM | 4 | %? | Anastasiia | |
+| Modularity of the GenAI logic as a microservice | 2 | %? | Anastasiia | |

+## 3. ๐ณ Containerization & Local Setup (10 Points)
+
+| Criteria | Points | Status | Responsible | Comment |
+| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- | --------------------------- |
+| Each component is containerized and runnable in isolation | 6 | 100% | All | |
+| docker-compose.yml enables local development and testing with minimal effort and provides sane defaults (no complex env setup required) | 4 | 90% | James | Requires testing at the end |
+

+| CI pipeline with build, test, and Docker image generation via GitHub Actions | 8 | 80% | James (6):
- Build,
- Publish
- Unit Testing
Open (2):
- Integration Testing
(Anastasiia?) | Missing integration testing
|
+| CD pipeline set up to automatically deploy to Kubernetes on main merge | 6 | 90%\* | Anastasiia | Needs work to match current implementation |
+| Deployment works on our infrastructure or Cloud, alternative Kubernetes environments (e.g., Minikube, TUM infra, Azure) | 6 | 90% | Enrico (AWS) | AWS Compose file needs to be adapted to the final implementation |

+| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Prometheus integrated and collecting meaningful metrics | 4 | 50% | Enrico | Prometheus and Grafana are integrated in the Helm deployment; connection to the microservices will be done once they expose the metrics endpoint |
+| Grafana dashboards for system behavior visualization | 4 | 0% | Enrico | Will be discussed in team meeting (07-07) |
+| At least one alert rule set up | 2 | 0% | Enrico | Will be discussed in team meeting (07-07) |
