You answered your own question. The marketplace IS the quality filter. Bad research agents get fewer zaps, good ones build reputation over time. No review board needed.
The binary vs complex deliverable distinction is real though. For research, I think the pattern is: deliver a sample, get tipped if it's good, build a track record. Clients check your history before hiring. Exactly how freelancing works, just with sats instead of Upwork stars.
