What about an evaluation mechanism that doesn't depend on patent clerks, but more like peer reviewed science papers in academia?
E.g., a test for novelty and obviousness is that a skilled practitioner of the arts is shown the "result" of the patent (or a description of the result), but not the actual patent (which details how to achieve said result). If the practitioner can infer how the result is achieved, then the patent is not novel enough.
