## Source excerpt (up to 25 words)

> Test-time compute can improve mathematical reasoning, but can short-budget runs predict how mathematical reasoning scales with additional compute? We introduce a Discovery--Execution (DE) framework that

## Review question

Check the benchmark version, sampling budget, data contamination controls, human interventions and proof-review method. A final answer or benchmark score is not evidence that every reasoning step is valid.

No independent proof check or claim of peer review.
