An epistemic triage for Mathematics and Science papers
The Penta-Ledger performs human-led epistemic triage on mathematics and science papers. We write independent, publicly-shared reviews which classify the plausibility of a paper into one of 5 epistemic states and we provide a transparent ledger of the logic used. We support OpenScience.
We accept submissions from established and new research professionals and independent researchers from outside academia. We also accept submissions from academics using pseudonyms and anonymous submissions (see our FAQ to understand why this can be necessary for Open Science). We watermark all submissions with: a verifiable timestamp (via OpenTimestamps) + SHA256 document hash to help submitters establish priority and a unique public/private key pair that all authors can use to prove that they were the genuine submitter at any point in the future, if desired.

Human-Led Sovereign Judgement
The ultimate quality and epistemic classification of every review depends strictly on the intellectual discernment and judgement of the Lead Auditor.
Lead Auditors carry sovereign responsibility for deductive integrity, rooting out circular logic, and assigning the final epistemic state (#1 to #5) without automated abdication.

Multidisciplinary Triangulation & The Jigsaw Principle
Even the most established disciplines have internal blind spots and undeclared assumptions that may bias their results. We adopt a Gödelian approach by acknowledging that no coherent system can fully demonstrate its own foundational consistency or prove all its core truths from within - and 'triangulating' everything within a paper against as many independent disciplines as possible to detect implicit axiomatic assumptions, domain bias and uncover empirical contradictions or counter-examples.
For problems that have remained unsolved for years, we assume that all the jigsaw pieces usually already exist, but that no single discipline holds all the pieces. To help us find the jigsaw pieces, we actively translate techniques, formalisms and heuristics from all areas of science including computer science, physics, astronomy, engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, economics, financial markets, operational research, management science, neuroscience, behavioural science, experimental psychology and many more.

Frontier AI Acceleration & Dual Realism
Our Lead Auditors harness cutting-edge AI as an aggressive force multiplier for automated searches, adversarial hypothesis testing, parameter sweeps, edge-case probing, and Lean4 proof scaffolding.
We have built a world-leading understanding of how AI tackles complex science: we are neither naive to what AI can and cannot do, nor are we naive to what humans can and cannot do.
