For best-paper & best-cluster competitions

Run a fair, rigorous paper competition — without the spreadsheet chaos.

JudgeWise matches submissions to the right reviewers, hides author identities, catches conflicts of interest, and computes finalists — so your committee can focus on judging the research.

Smart Evaluation. Fair Decisions. Best Research.

Everything a program committee needs

From submission to finalists, the tedious parts are automated and the important parts stay in your hands.

Smart reviewer–paper matching

AI classifies every paper and reviewer by subject area and methodology, then assigns globally-optimal matches — each paper gets its best-fit reviewers while respecting per-reviewer load limits.

Conflict-of-interest detection

Automatically flags own-paper, same-institution, and recent co-author conflicts so reviewers are never assigned a paper they shouldn't see. Rules are yours to toggle.

Blind review & anonymization

Reviewers never see author names. An AI check scans each uploaded PDF and flags any that accidentally reveal author identity before review begins.

Taxonomy that fits your field

Matching vocabulary is auto-derived from your own submissions — so JudgeWise works for operations, marketing, healthcare, or any discipline, not a fixed list.

Custom rubric & finalists

Define weighted scoring criteria, collect structured reviews, and compute ranked finalists automatically — with borderline cases surfaced for a closer look.

Email automation

Branded invitation, assignment, reminder, and results emails with per-competition sending. Reviewers confirm receipt in one click, so you always know who's in.
