Having led the Competition during periods 6 and 7, "The Mind Mechanics" had slipped back to 4th place during period 8, but they bounced back strongly in the final round with the joint best performance in the period, 14% growth that enabled them to return to the top of the table to become the University of Portsmouth Enginuity 2024 Champions with an impressive finishing score of 1,788 pts.

Behind the Champions "Group 6" and "Vertex Construction Company" held firm to finish Runners Up and in 3rd place respectively, and the leaders from period 8, "Engenious Minds" slipped back to a 4th place finish. Overall period 9 proved to be one of growth for most teams, and in particular at the wrong end of the table "UFOTech" equalled the best performance in the quarter with 14% growth that left them in a strong position for the future.

In the final analysis all 11 teams finished with stronger, more sustainable companies than when they took over in period 5, a testament to the skill and application shown by the management teams in what was a roller coaster of a journey through one and a quarter simulated years of management.
