I was recently researching Shapley Values as a way to distribute profits fairly in a cooperative organization. The same calculation can also be used to determine the amount that an agent contributes to any group effort (think AI agents, solving a problem). I THINK this could be applied to reputational systems, provided you could define what you meant by reputation well enough that it could be calculated. Shapley won a Nobel Prize for the work because his method is provably the most fair way to allot responsibility for work.

This is definitely in Ohio on I75, North of Cinci. I’m only sad that Touchdown Jesus burned down!
