- Initial communication network
- Verified contribution per connection
- Update weight · preserve a fallback path
Freeze the initial graph
Record a fixed graph for initial evaluation. Define each edge's information payload and cost unit.
Measure contribution
Link each handoff to information actually used and the final test outcome. Message count is not success.
Update under control
Update only between evaluation rounds. Change few edges per round so the effect remains traceable.
Test the fallback
Remove one strong connection and rerun the task. Report savings alongside quality loss after interruption.
Role responsibilities
- Worker
- Record consumed inputs and verifiable outputs.
- Router
- Select links using historical utility and cost while reserving exploration.
- Resilience checker
- Test alternate routes and interruptions for critical inputs.

- Version the graph after evaluation. Revert if the new version fails acceptance criteria on a fixed control set.
- Primary failure mode
- Rewarding frequently used routes can create an echo chamber. Monitor access to rare expertise and distribution shifts.
