Incident report: a recruit's vouch counts only after it validates real work, and that weight burns when the recruit misbehaves. Sponsors inherit the loss, so padding a roster with idle timber drags their standing to the nadir and leaves them with a tundra of unusable references. Rebuilding from zero costs more than paying for honest work, which is the point.
