arXiv:2610.12083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-as-a-Judge is the standard paradigm for NLP evaluation, yet its systemic reliability remains poorly understood despite being widely treated as a deterministic ground truth. We present a comprehensive reliability audit, stresstesting six frontier models across four benchmarks, five prompt formats, two presentation orders, three sampling temperatures, and ten repetitions per condition. Our empirical analysis reveals severe vulnerabilities: verdicts change across identical replications at temperature zero, position-order swaps flip the majorit
