Blog PostSourceful’s AI Judge for Packaging design in Research Preview

Today we’re opening the doors – by invite only – to Sourceful AI Judge, the fastest way to know whether your packaging will sell before it ever hits a shelf. Go from “everyone has an opinion” to “here’s the score that matters”.

What’s the Judge?

• One upload, one minute, one verdict. Drop in your artwork, tell us the shopper profile you’re after, and the Judge returns a 0-100 score plus a grade from E to A+.
• Five key factors, zero fluff. Visibility & Impact, Brand fit, Differentiation, Creativity & Originality, and Consumer Experience – each scored, each explained.
• Built-in next step. Every report ends with actionable recommendations you can hand to your designer – or let our AI Packaging Designer or curated artworker network implement for you in minutes.

Three ways to use it

1. Individual – Evaluate a single design.
2. Improvement – Before/after the tweaks your team just made.
3. Competitive – See how you stack up against the entire set in your category. Up to 10 images can be compared at once.

You can upload a camera photo, packaging mockup, e-commerce thumbnail, or an AI-generated render. For best results, try and compare like-for-like images.

Why invite-only?

Visual reasoning at this depth is compute-hungry. We’re throttling access to keep the experience snappy.

• Already on a paid Sourceful plan? You’re in.
• Know someone on the research list? Ask them for an invite code.

Who’s it for?

Brands, designers, agencies, suppliers, buyers, merchandisers, insights teams – anyone who cares about what shoppers actually pick up.

Pricing

• 70 free credits when you join Sourceful (enough for 70 tests or 70 image generations).
• 1 credit = 1 Judge evaluation.
• Extra credits via monthly or annual subscription.

Enterprise? Let’s talk Q4 trials – reach out to us.
