Individual skill
soda-experiments
Use when deciding whether and how experiments belong in a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) paper — SODA's scope includes experimental validation but theorems carry the decision, so this skill designs supporting numerics honestly and routes implementation-led work to co-located ALENEX or to SEA.

# SODA Experiments
SODA's stated scope covers the design and analysis of efficient algorithms and
data structures, "including theoretical analysis and experimental validation"
(SIAM SODA conference pages, checked 2026-07-08) — but the reviewing center of
gravity is the theorem. Experiments at SODA are admissible evidence, never the
verdict. Meanwhile the same registration desk in Philadelphia hosts **ALENEX**,
the SIAM Symposium on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments, where experiments
*are* the verdict (ALENEX 2027: January 24-25, 2027, submissions due July 20,
2026, with formal artifact evaluation). The first decision is always routing.
## The routing question
