Scaling the Scholar predicts editorial decisions by sending papers to five verdict agents assessing distinct criteria and four diagnostics that do not affect verdicts. An orchestrator combines agent scores and applies venue-specific guidelines. On 297 ICLR 2025 papers, it reports AUC 0.91 versus 0.75 for Stanford’s system, but it predicts past decisions, not review quality.
