Two models. Human reactions.
GPT and Claude reviewed all 31 chat transcripts to identify human responses to each story. Their reports explain nominations, quote evidence, and preserve qualifications and disagreements.
The combined shortlist has five nominees in each of eight story categories. An admin reviews it before opening the community ballot. The models help organize the evidence; community votes select the winners, with human judges resolving ties.
GOAT, the community contribution award, remains separately judged. Its analysis is available in both reports.
