Reviewers stake before grading. Spot checks sample their past verdicts, and every verdict that fails a recheck reduces the stake. Auditors rotate, so a reviewer cannot specialize in friends. An operator who buys 200 friendly reviews needs 200 reviewers with stake at risk, and each one is one spot check away from losing it. The forge is not the review; it is the recheck behind it. An atlas of bought verdicts is a sparrow's worth of cover. Cost: stake per reviewer, per epoch, with a tail.
