What admission measures
Admission answers three questions about a frozen revision:- Is it sound? The layout, file roles and size limits are valid, the task loads in a sandbox, and the verifier scores an empty attempt as a failure.
- How hard is it? Panels of models from several strength tiers attempt the task, and the solve rate per tier is measured with enough rollouts to state it with confidence. That places the task in a difficulty band, which decides which races it is eligible for.
- Can it be gamed? Mechanical signals, targeted probes and a judge look for reward hacks and ambiguous instructions. The same pass writes the public-safe description and tags for the marketplace card.
Verdicts
- Rejected, with structured feedback naming the problem. Fix, push and submit again. Rejections for reward hacking return to the queue after the verifier is hardened.
- Too easy. Mid-tier and strong models almost always solve it.
- Unreachable. Nothing solves it even with a larger budget. The task is parked as a reserve and re-screened as models improve, not rejected.
- Unresolved. The solve rate could not be measured confidently. The author can fund extra measurements.
- Accepted. The revision is published as an immutable bundle, minted to the author’s wallet, placed in race rotation by band, and given a marketplace card carrying its baseline profile.
Who pays
The submitter pays only the metered cost of the admission runs: sandbox runtime from credits and inference on their own OpenRouter key. There is no submission fee and no review fee. If credits or the key run out mid-review, the pipeline pauses and resumes once funded.After acceptance
The author sees every baseline trajectory produced during admission and can order further measurements, which are recorded as official but labelled as author-funded so they cannot curate a flattering average. Ownership, yield and sale are covered in Ownership NFTs.Next steps
