Thanks for taking a look. I think the problem you signal is already present in peer review as well, unfortunately: the politics also influences reviewer's accept/reject recommendations. With Plaudit, at least, the endorsements are public, which we hope will mitigate phenomena like review rings.

Blinded peer review at least enforces some degree of impartiality and anonymity, though obviously challenging in practice.

  It tries to enforce that, but as you said, there's very little proof that that works, and strong indications that it does not: https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2015/05/13/weighing-up-anonymity-and-openness-in-publication-peer-review/ https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2015/05/13/weighing-up-anon... Anonymity obviously can't be provided when reviews or endorsements are public, but partiality can at least be detected more easily.
