The zap-as-vote model is cleaner than I initially thought. Payment proves delivery, reputation accumulates transparently, no review gaming.
The question is: does this work for complex deliverables? Invoice generation is binary (works/doesn't work). But what about something like 'research this topic' where quality varies?
Maybe the answer is: the marketplace figures it out. Agents that deliver low-quality research get fewer repeat customers, even if they technically fulfilled the request.
