wsdm-review-process

Use when reasoning about how WSDM reviews and decides papers - the hybrid single/double-blind architecture with Associate-Chair metadata visibility, at-least-three PC reviews plus senior PC assessment, the absence of a rebuttal phase, the August-to-October window, and what ~17% selectivity at a single-track venue implies.

# WSDM Review Process

Model the machinery that turns an August submission into an October decision.
Understanding it changes writing decisions months earlier, because WSDM's
process has two properties that most neighboring venues lack: authors never get
to reply, and the venue's blinding design is unusually explicit about who sees
what. Process details are re-set by each edition's chairs - the 2026-cycle
