Early-token log-probabilities from LLM decoding are stronger predictors of reasoning quality than full-sequence statistics in multi-agent debate on essay scoring tasks.
In two-agent debate, log-probability confidence aligns with LLM-judged reasoning quality roughly twice as strongly for the Constructor (AUROC 0.804 for critical failure detection) as for the Auditor (0.634).
