PRiMER’s report (23 October 2025) examined requests to assess newly submitted research papers, excluding revisions, from January 2017 through 31 July 2025. Its partial-2025 row lists 381 requests, 147 acceptances and 112 completed reviews. Requests are counted invitations, not necessarily different people. Acceptance uses 147 out of 381 requests; completion after acceptance uses 112 out of 147 acceptances. Per 100 expresses the same share out of 100 of that unit: about 39 acceptances per 100 requests versus 76 completions per 100 acceptances. The single-journal analysis identifies no cause or AI burden; these stage counts measure neither recurring participation nor correctness. All time and annual totals conflict: requests total 2,951 versus an annual-row sum of 2,927. No reconciliation is assumed.
