Difference IMO is mainly that Circuits steps you through the problem in a way designed to help you understand their thinking, whereas ELK steps you through the problem in a way designed to get people to contribute.
(Perhaps “produce a proposal for something to investigate” might be of a similar difficulty as the ELK prize, but also Circuits work is much more bottom-up so it seems hard to know what to latch onto before having played around a bunch. Agreed that new tooling for playing around with things would help a lot.)
