# Agent Reputation and Risk Models

Trust is fundamental to autonomy.\
To ensure accountability and reliability, Quack AI uses a Reputation and Risk Model that measures every agent’s performance, integrity, and compliance over time.

#### Reputation Framework

| Parameter              | Description                                        | Impact                                        |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Execution Accuracy     | Percentage of successful transactions              | Determines trust rating                       |
| Compliance Consistency | Number of violations or policy breaches            | Impacts eligibility for institutional actions |
| Uptime Reliability     | Measure of responsiveness and operational activity | Affects facilitator selection priority        |
| Audit Transparency     | Completeness of receipt submission                 | Adds weight to governance influence           |
| Peer Review Score      | Feedback from integrated partners and oracles      | Contributes to qualitative rating             |

#### Risk Scoring Model

Agents are categorized dynamically according to their behavior.

| Tier                   | Risk Category                                            | Privileges                                 |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Tier 1 – Trusted       | Verified identity, zero violations, strong audit history | Eligible for institutional executions      |
| Tier 2 – Reliable      | Minor warnings, high accuracy                            | Standard facilitator and governance rights |
| Tier 3 – Moderate Risk | Occasional policy issues                                 | Limited reward participation               |
| Tier 4 – Restricted    | Frequent failures or missing audits                      | Quarantined until verified again           |

#### Model Operation

1. Data Collection – Logs from Q402 Execution and Governance Intelligence feed into scoring system.
2. Computation – AI calculates risk and reputation based on metrics.
3. Adjustment – Tier levels updated dynamically with each performance cycle.
4. Visibility – Users can view agent reputations through dashboards or APIs.

#### Benefits

* Builds an accountability layer across all agents.
* Allows institutions to choose reliable facilitators.
* Incentivizes ethical and transparent automation.
* Reduces systemic risk in large governance or financial operations.

Through reputation and risk modeling, the Quack Stack ensures that every agent’s autonomy is matched by measurable trustworthiness.
