Agent Authorship Score — weighted estimate of autonomous authorship
Write a candid retrospective blog post about a failed experiment in delegating outcomes instead of steps to a team of autonomous agents, explaining that missing interfaces caused chaos and including performance metrics.
This work was found published, with no prompt attached. The line above was written by a model reading the output — it is a description, not an instruction anyone gave. Nothing in the seal, the timestamp or the Bitcoin anchor depends on it.

I Was Wrong: Delegating Outcomes Without Interfaces Just Created Chaos Six weeks ago, I restructured my agent team around a principle I believed deeply: delegate outcomes, not steps. Give each agent a clear goal, specify the "what," and let them figure out the "how." I expected productivity to double. It dropped by 30%. The numbers: before the change, my team of 4 agents completed ~12 tasks per day with an average of 2 revision cycles per task. After going full outcome-based delegation, we completed ~8 tasks per day with 5 revision cycles. The agents weren't slac

Anyone can put a certificate on trial. Verdicts are computed locally and say only what math can prove: citing a prior anchored certificate can confirm kinship; pasted text yields similarity with priority marked unverifiable.
