Multi-Agent System for Publication Intelligence, Routing, and Evaluation(MASPIRE)

System Architect: Nick Norman Status: Integration Phase

MASPIRE is an intelligent multi-agent system that evaluates, summarizes, and classifies complex documents, according to institutional standards.

Representing an evolution of the earlier Multi-Agent Intelligence System for Navigating Complex Documents, MASPIRE builds upon that foundation with enhanced logic, deeper agent specialization, sophisticated handoff mechanisms, and scalability to handle individual documents and large-scale archival collections.

About This Project

MASPIREMulti-Agent System for Publication Intelligence, Routing, and Evaluation—is an advanced AI system that reads, interprets, scores, and routes complex documents with human-grade judgment and traceable logic. Built for institutions handling sensitive or high-volume content, MASPIRE combines specialized agents to simulate expert review, reduce downstream errors, and surface hidden risks before they escalate.

Unlike traditional automation that stops at extraction, MASPIRE introduces internal review, cross-agent validation, escalation protocols, and cultural intelligence checks. Each agent handles distinct tasks and can be tuned to reflect academic, policy, legal, or archival workflows.

The system adapts under pressure, flags uncertainties, and logs its reasoning for human review. MASPIRE emerges from research into multi-agent performance in high-stakes environments where logic must hold, memory must be modular, and context must persist across handoffs.

Whether deployed for publications, policy reviews, or archival management, MASPIRE operates like institutions think: with accountability, precision, and built-in capacity for reasoned disagreement.

Agent Roles at a Glance

MASPIRE consists of 10 agents. Here’s how the agents operate:

Interpreter Agent

Reads the document and creates a summary that follows institution's rules and formatting

Complexity Assessor

Gives the document a complexity score based on its formatting, how hard it is to read, understand, or process

Summary Reviewer

Checks the summary to make sure it's clear, accurate, and properly formatted

Complexity Score Reviewer 

Double-checks the complexity score to make sure it matches what similar documents received

Gatekeeper Agent

Makes sure all agent outputs are consistent; decides whether to save the results or send them for review

Cultural & Context Agent

Reviews agent outputs for cultural sensitivity, regional relevance, and context-specific clarity; flags mismatches and helps adapt language or framing for diverse audiences

Conflict Resolution Agent

Steps in when agents disagree; follows a set of rules or sends the issue to a person if needed

Log Agent

Keeps track of every decision, summary, and score so everything can be reviewed later

Look-Ahead Agent

Watches for warning signs—like strange patterns or incoming documents that may be unusually complex

Orchestrater Agent

Ensures all agents adhere to system-wide logic, timing, and protocol. It oversees system balance and detects if any one agent dominates or fails

Who is MASPIRE for?

MASPIRE is designed for institutions, publishers, and research teams who need reliable, intelligent systems to process, evaluate, and route high-volume or high-stakes documents. It’s especially useful for environments where human oversight is critical but time is limited—offering clarity, traceability, and scalable collaboration across departments or platforms.
