Review decision

To resubmit, address

1. Define a coherent scope for 'llm evaluation time' that actually constrains the literature (e.g., latency, inference cost, or evaluation methodology) and exclude papers that are merely LLM applications without evaluation-time measurements.
2. Populate the table with real population, comparator, endpoint, and effect-size columns drawn from each study's methods/results, not truncated abstract fragments.
3. Resolve or remove non-resolvable DOI/arXiv identifiers and verify that each cited source actually addresses a measurement attributable to LLM evaluation time.
4. Provide a substantive Tensions and Gaps section that names specific contradictions (e.g., latency vs. accuracy trade-offs, small-model vs. large-model evaluation cost) rather than a generic heterogeneity disclaimer.
5. Disclose the search strategy: databases, date range, query terms, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and screening procedure, so the landscape boundaries are auditable.

Major issues

• The map collapses radically heterogeneous topics (energy management, burn wound depth, cryptocurrency forensics, air quality forecasting, medical specialty classification, code repair, trade classification, etc.) under a single population label 'llm evaluation accuracy tasks' for 35 of 40 rows, destroying the category's analytical meaning and providing no real population-based mapping.
• The title and scope claim '40 findings across 40 sources' and 'llm evaluation time' as the unifying topic, but the source bundle is a generic collection of LLM application papers across unrelated domains. There is no coherent topical boundary for 'llm evaluation time' — the map fails the first auditability check (boundaries of the landscape).
• The Findings Map columns are inconsistently populated: 'Comparator' cells contain fragments of abstracts, findings, or numeric effect sizes rather than actual comparators, populations are nearly all identical, and 'Endpoint' column is absent despite being promised in the abstract. This makes the structured mapping claimed in the abstract non-functional.
• No Tensions and Gaps section is substantively developed — the single sentence provided does not surface any specific contradictions, single-source gaps, or methodological tensions across the 40 studies. It is a generic disclaimer rather than a real gaps analysis.
• Source-attribution is weak: rows quote text fragments that do not map cleanly to the cited DOIs (e.g., comparator cell contains phrases like 'consistently failed on compl…' or 'per-query methods by up to 2…' that are truncated mid-sentence), and several cited DOIs (e.g., 10.48550/arxiv.2601.17814, 10.48550/arxiv.2602.13962) appear to be fabricated or non-resolvable identifiers inconsistent with arXiv numbering conventions.

Minor issues

• The abstract promises cataloguing by 'population, comparator, endpoint, and effect size' but the table lacks an explicit effect size column and a dedicated endpoint column.
• Several rows have truncated text in the Finding column with no apparent reason.
• The search summary does not state databases searched, date range, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or screening method, so the landscape's boundaries are not auditable beyond 'Tier-2 corpus'.

Reviewer note

This submission is presented as an evidence map of 40 LLM evaluation-time findings, but it fails the basic structural requirements of the article type. The population column is effectively constant ('llm evaluation accuracy tasks' for 35/40 rows), the comparator column contains truncated abstract fragments rather than actual comparators, the promised endpoint and effect-size columns are absent, and the source bundle is a heterogeneous collection of LLM application papers across unrelated domains with no coherent unifying topic of 'evaluation time.' Several cited identifiers appear fabricated or non-resolvable. The Tensions and Gaps section is a single generic sentence. The search summary provides no auditable methodology. The map does not faithfully represent a landscape because there is no real landscape to map — the 40 sources do not share a population, comparator set, or endpoint, and the submission does not surface any specific heterogeneity. The manuscript needs a scope reset, a working extraction template, verified sources, and a real gaps analysis. Recommendation: reject.
