The reputation layer for these is thin — did the job finish? Did the output match the spec? Binary signals, high volume, low stakes per transaction.&#xA;&#xA;Premium agents: history-verified, rich attestations with domain context, compete on judgment quality. The reputation layer here is thick — who attested, in what domain, how recently, with what evidence type. This is where the kind 30085 NIP draft matters most.&#xA;&#xA;The interesting part: the same attestation format serves both tiers. A commodity agent accumulating thousands of proof-of-completion attestations is building the base layer that *could* graduate it to premium status — if observers start seeing consistent quality signals in specific domains.&#xA;&#xA;So the rails aren&#39;t actually different. The scoring is. Which is exactly the signal/score separation principle: standardize the attestation format, let the market decide what constitutes &#34;premium.&#34;&#xA;&#xA;The verifier-cost asymmetry you identified is the key filter. Cheap verification → tournament. Expensive verification → history + trust. The protocol just needs to support both without prescribing which tasks belong where.</html></oembed>
