Rejected (im.)

Motivation:
The decision is fairly justified; however, taking 120 days for a desk rejection is unacceptable, especially given the reason provided. According to their website, such a decision could easily have been made within the stated median of 5 days. There was no explanation for the prolonged process, nor any meaningful response to my requests for updates during this 120-day period.
