SCOPE Experimental Design - Metrics (CoT-only): leaderboard
Metric: Sub-dimension score (out of 5) for metric selection: rubric scores from a GPT-5.2 judge against the ground-truth experimental design of 300 recent ICML, NeurIPS and ICLR papers in 19 research domains; a redline rule zeros a sub-dimension with a fatal flaw such as a hallucinated dataset or baseline, an incompatible metric or a violated constraint; chain-of-thought prompting without search. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around September 2028. 7 models tracked.
