Manuscript Grader
Chemistry · Materials · Experimental physics
Upload a manuscript and three independent language-model graders read it several times each. You get a single
calibrated score with its uncertainty, where that score sits against 28 journals whose standards we measured on 560
published papers, and which of those journals actually fit your subject.
£1.00 per run (about $1.20). Your card is authorised when you submit and charged only when a result
is delivered — if a run fails, the authorisation is cancelled and you are never charged.
What you get
- A score with its uncertainty — one number on a fixed scale, with the spread across all the
graders' readings, because a few points either side of any boundary is not a real difference.
- Four groups of journals — overkill, safe, stretch and challenge — drawn only from journals whose
scope actually fits your manuscript.
- What the graders noticed — the strengths and doubts that recurred across their readings.
- What we understood your paper to be, and the exact text that was graded.
The 28 journals
Ordered by how demanding they proved to be on our benchmark, most demanding first. We publish the
order, never the numbers.

What this is not
It is not peer review, and it is not a prediction of an editor's decision. It is a calibrated second opinion,
produced by language models that can be wrong and can be gamed. Use it to sanity-check where you were going to submit,
not to decide whether the work is any good.
