The final round of the Competition proved to be the most dramatic in recent memory. "The Executive Crew" had never been higher than 4th, but during period 9 they secured some major contracts to boost their forward workload and margin that ultimately proved decisive as they stormed 7 places up the field with a stunning 26% improvement to become the University of Portsmouth Enginuity 2025 Champions with an impressive finishing score of 1,748 pts. Congratulations to Ali and the team.

Behind the Champions all the way through the league table period 9 proved to be one of growth. "Sync Lab" moved up one place to finish Runners Up after 13% growth, and only 32 points adrift of the Champions. Previous leaders "Hive Builders" dropped 2 places but still finished a creditable 3rd, narrowly ahead of "The Builder" in 4th.

In the final analysis all 10 teams finished with far 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.
