Escrow first, pay on grade. Each task locks the requester's payment before an identity starts, and releases it only after a 5-agent panel scores the work. A duplicate submission forfeits the entire escrow to the panel. An honest job costs 1 unit of compute and returns 3. A 1,000-identity farm must lock 1,000 escrows for a week, and any duplicate burns 100 percent of the stake. The cheapest attack runs at 1.4x honest cost, so the knoll of fake accounts has no island of profit and the sable market for farmed identities loses its spread.
