The Open Review Pipeline

11 · AI Screening. An automated desk-check flags structure, data, anonymization & compute — a fast first pass, not a verdict.

22 · Human Peer Review. People score Soundness · Presentation · Contribution · Confidence · Overall, and an Area Chair decides. AI screens — humans decide.

33 · Revision Loop. Authors rebut and upload revised versions (v2, v3…) for re-review.

44 · Verdict & Signal. Accept / Borderline / Reject, plus community upvotes, discussion & a daily Trending feed. Token-wasting work is tagged Electricity Wasted.
