Quant with some NLP experience here. Impressive business traction so quickly, good stuff. Who do you see as competitors in this space? I'm wondering whether you think that footnoted* (https://footnoted.com) offers something similar, or might your products be complimentary in some way? Thanks.

Perhaps some non-binary classification could be of use. You could imagine one or two additional categories of acceptance/rejection, something like plausible and implausible. Journals could publish articles falling into these classifications making sure that it is abundantly clear that they have not been fully approved/ disapproved.
Having such options should allow for promotion/demotion of ideas as they garner more/less support.
The concept is similar to that of working papers and preprints, in the belief that getting more eyes (both expert and amateur) on a paper is better for truth discovery than if only a few experts evaluate.

This is a bit reminiscent of the "This American Life" episode, wherein precious evolutionary science bird feathers make their way into fishing flies. It's a really great story. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/654/the-feather-heist
