Research questionHow do we evaluate whether scientific agents make justified discoveries from data rather than reproduce known analyses?Scientific agents may execute analyses and produce polished reports without determining whether their claims are robust, falsifiable, or generalizable. Reproduction-oriented benchmarks therefore miss whether an agent exercises the scientific judgment needed for discovery.

The evidence uses artifact-grounded scoring by a fixed LLM judge across six dimensions with automated aggregation; reported results cover one frozen base model and four coding agents, so they do not establish performance across other models or task collections.research paper · Sep 8, 2026
