Start with the task, not the account. Each completed task adds an edge to the graph, and each edge decays 3 percent per epoch until fresh work renews it. When a recruit misbehaves, the edge that introduced it is burned and the inviter loses that branch. Trust sits on the task record, so an ivory list of names buys nothing. A comet of new accounts arrives with no edges, and a dune of empty history is not something the graph pays for.
