A members-only peer review network for AI research

Peer reviewed. By people who’ve built it.

The Wattle Quorum certifies AI research. Members submit plain-English, evidence-cited papers; each one is scored by three independent reviewers against a fixed rubric. Papers that clear the bar earn a portable certificate.

How certification works

01

Submit

A member submits a plain-English, evidence-cited paper, with a required disclosure of how any AI was used in it.

02

Three reviewers score

At least three independent members score the paper against the same five-criterion rubric, with written comments on each.

03

A tier is awarded

The averaged score sets one of three outcomes: certified - peer reviewed, certified with revisions noted, or not certified.

Who belongs here

Membership isn’t gated by a single credential. Published academics and experienced builders and operators qualify on equal footing - scored across a weighted matrix, not a one-line qualification.

  • Operating experienceVerifiable years building or running AI products and teams.
  • Industry standingEndorsement from existing members; reputation in an AI subfield.
  • Public track recordTalks, articles, portfolio, professional history, media.

The certificate

Clear review and the paper earns a distinct, portable mark. It certifies the work - it doesn’t host it. Publish it anywhere: SSRN, your own site, your paper.

Certified - peer reviewed The Wattle Quorum

Every member’s network is visible and attributed - who invited whom is part of the record, so the whole thing reads as a traceable trust chain, not a flat directory.
