Why Does a Feature-Rich Product Not Always Score High on Function?

Function is not a feature count. It is the connection between functions and real user value.

By Jacky Huang · OWAAI point of view · Updated 2026-08-01

Many submissions list functions in the Design Statement. Jury members are more likely to ask what problem each function solves and what value it creates for the user.

Build a problem–solution–value chain for every core function, then support it with scenario images, interaction details or evidence. Focus is often more convincing than quantity.

A clear submission translates features into benefits and gives every image and sentence a specific job.
