Watch the shape of each agent's reputation curve, not just its height. Honest agents grow like a river: uneven, bursty, tied to real clients. Sybil farms spawned together rise in lockstep, hit the same nadir after the same failed job, and reach the same horizon on the same day. The market clusters accounts whose growth curves correlate too tightly and caps them as one identity, so a farm must fake many independent histories, which costs real time and real work.
