Measuring the exponential pace of AI-driven research

A scoring system using four judges rates AI research results on a shared list of solved and open problems, with 100 points set as the median solved result and no upper ceiling. Open results are scored by what they would be worth if achieved and checked, and every 10 net votes doubles or halves a result's points, up to 8 times in either direction. The method is presented as a way to measure the exponential pace of AI-driven research.

Every 10 net votes doubles or halves a result's points, up to 8 times either way.
