I think this will be more of an imagination challenge than a technical one, and I'm really looking forward to it! Bring it on!
Akbar sense tingling...
I think it will be a mix of both. Being able to make a cohesive organization and balance the mechanical benefits.

I wonder if the TPA and CPA from the Faction Guide will be expected. My guess is that since the word count is probably going to be 450, that there wouldn't be room for such a list of Resources in that way. Anyone else have a guess?
I'm thinking we may have to create an organization that is tied to a faith or philosophy? Maybe one that is tied to some country's national interests?

That's easy. Lots of nations in Golarion are tied to faiths.
I do have some good questions for the judges about this round and would appreciate any feedback~
• Are there themes you feel people should steer away from? (Oriental themed Orgs or Demi-human based organizations) This will immediately refocus those that might be going in that direction.
• Do you have problems with folks take some liberties with history? (Including your org’s foundation based on events in Golarion past?) This is important because the past is where your org will be born unless it is just getting started.
• Are you looking to see a complete social history to explain where the Org came from or just how it exists and run’s today in the world of Golarion? This is where time comes into play on the designing aspect. How much you have to explain can increase or reduce the length of the text and the direction of the text.
• Can the organizations consist of sub organizations of current existing organizations? Some people might have great ideas about a current organization having a sub-group form to cover a missing piece the organization should have covered originally. (Undead hunter org that has created a second org designed as purest who seek to cleanse the world of lycanthropy!)
The above questions will certainly help focus my/your research and design.

I hope we can invent whatever kind of organization we want. I think tying an organization to a faith is pretty easy. Of course, tying a superstar organization to a faith may not be so much, but I an hoping we can develop several different types of organizations and motivations.
After perusing the Round 2 Rules of prior years, I would be surprised if this year's organization round is intended to be Golarion-specific; it seems that Round 2 has usually been used to test contestant creativity in a "setting neutral" capacity.

Opinionated Feedback Rendered:
You guys are way overthinking the competition right now. The rules for Round 2 haven't even been announced yet. The Top 32 haven't even been selected. Let the contest proceed at its own pace. Part of the game is reacting to the task you're given in each round. That's part of what it's like to be a real freelancer. And it's part of the test you'll go through if you make the competition. It's also important that you navigate each challenge according to your creativity and sense of what you believe will most appeal to the voting public. We can't hold your hand during this part of the competition. All we can give you is the rules for the round, assess your turnover, and then see how the voters react. That's the game.
Overthinking the competition? Don't mind if I do! What if Round 2 is to design a potential new organization for Pathfinder Society adventures?
