Abstract
The question of stability of the Higgs potential in the Standard Model is revisited employing advanced theoretical precision and recent experimental results. We show that the top mass and strong coupling constants are key observables in order to reach or refute absolute stability. We highlight new physics scenarios that lead to a decisive stabilisation of the Higgs sector. These proceedings summarise findings first reported in~[1,2].

Strengths
The works excel in their use of advanced theoretical precision and recent experimental results to address the stability of the Higgs potential, emphasizing the importance of top mass and strong coupling constants, and proposing new physics scenarios for stabilizing the Higgs sector.
Weaknesses
The works are limited by the experimental uncertainties in the top mass and strong coupling constant (well, it's not the weakness of the paper, though).
Report
I think that the article is worth publishing in the SciPost as it is.
