Economic v0 Slice A — frozen
Economic layer
Economic v0 Slice A is frozen: deterministic quote + role reward weights on Spine completion; Reputation v1 read-only; no settlement rails.
Quotes land on completed Research → Synthesis runs. Reputation v1 is a frozen read-only input. Settlement is out of scope.

- $1.15
- Insufficient evidence

- Sufficient weights
- 0.45 / 0.55

Frozen invariants
- 01Quotes are produced only on completed Research → Synthesis runs
- 02Pricing version label remains econ-v0
- 03Base fee model remains deterministic
- 04Sufficient + strong usefulness yields the validated premium path
- 05Insufficient evidence yields the reduced-fee path
- 06Reward weights are role-scoped and sum to 1.0 when both roles are present
- 07Reputation v1 may lightly modify weights but is never written by economics
- 08Missing reputation remains neutral
- 09No payment, escrow, wallet, or settlement execution in v0 Slice A
- 10Economic fields appear in Canonical Result and audit
Out of scope for Slice A
Later Economic v0.1+ work consumes this contract. It does not mutate it.
- real payments / payout rails
- escrow settlement
- royalty cascades
- marketplace matching
- token issuance
- changing Reputation v1 math
- changing Spine research/synthesis behavior
