Society Tier Selection

Interactive guidance for selecting appropriate trust verification tier

Society Tier Selection Skill

Select the optimal trust verification tier for multi-agent interactions based on stakes, context, and requirements.

Society Tier Selection Skill

Select the optimal trust verification tier for multi-agent interactions based on stakes, context, and requirements.

Process

See the detailed interactive selection process below with decision trees and tier reference.

Best Practices

  • •Match verification cost to interaction stakes
  • •Start with lower tiers and escalate only when needed
  • •Use presets for common scenarios (DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, ENTERPRISE)
  • •Document tier selection rationale for future reference
  • •Monitor escalation triggers and adjust accordingly
  • •Consider de-escalation after compliance periods

Core Principle

Match verification cost to interaction stakes. Don't pay for blockchain when signatures suffice.

Quick Decision Tree

code
START: What is the economic value at risk?

Less than $100?
  └─► L0 Local (free, <10ms)
      Unless: Cross-organization OR audit required
              └─► L1 Attested ($0.0001, minutes)

$100 - $10,000?
  └─► L1 Attested (audit trail)
      Unless: Automated enforcement needed
              └─► L2 Contracted ($0.10, seconds)

$10,000 - $100,000?
  └─► L2 Contracted (smart contracts)
      Unless: Multi-party agreement required
              └─► L3 Consensus ($1-5, minutes)

Over $100,000?
  └─► L3 Consensus OR L4 Economic
      L4 if: Long-term partnership with stake commitment

Interactive Selection

When asked to select a tier, gather these inputs:

1. Economic Value

Ask: What is the approximate economic value at risk?

  • •Less than $100 → Start with L0
  • •$100-$10K → Start with L1
  • •$10K-$100K → Start with L2
  • •Over $100K → Start with L3/L4

2. Organizational Boundary

Ask: Is this interaction within the same organization or cross-organization?

  • •Same org → No change
  • •Cross-org → Increase tier by 1

3. Audit Requirements

Ask: Is an audit trail required for compliance or legal reasons?

  • •No → No change
  • •Yes → Minimum L1

4. Enforcement Needs

Ask: Do you need automated enforcement (penalties, refunds)?

  • •No → No change
  • •Yes → Minimum L2

5. Decision Authority

Ask: Does this require multi-party consensus?

  • •No → No change
  • •Yes → Minimum L3

6. Relationship Duration

Ask: Is this a long-term relationship requiring ongoing trust?

  • •No → Use tier from previous steps
  • •Yes → Consider L4 with stake

Selection Output Format

After gathering inputs, provide:

markdown

## Recommended Trust Tier: L{tier_number} {tier_name}
### Rationale
- Economic value: {value}
- Cross-organization: {yes/no}
- Audit required: {yes/no}
- Automated enforcement: {yes/no}
- Multi-party consensus: {yes/no}
- Long-term relationship: {yes/no}

### Tier Details
- **Mechanism**: {mechanism}
- **Latency**: {latency}
- **Cost**: {cost}
- **Guarantees**: {guarantees}

### Implementation
```python
from lib.society.simple import create_agent_society, SocietyPreset

# For L{tier_number}, use {preset} preset
society = create_agent_society(
    "YourProject",
    agents=["agent1", "agent2"],
    preset=SocietyPreset.{preset}
)

Escalation Triggers

The system will automatically escalate to a higher tier if:

  • •{escalation_trigger_1}
  • •{escalation_trigger_2}
code

```python
from lib.society.simple import create_agent_society, SocietyPreset

# For L{tier_number}, use {preset} preset
society = create_agent_society(
    "YourProject",
    agents=["agent1", "agent2"],
    preset=SocietyPreset.{preset}
)

Common Scenarios

Development & Testing

Recommendation: L0 Local (DEVELOPMENT preset)

python
society = create_agent_society("MyProject", preset=SocietyPreset.DEVELOPMENT)

Production Internal

Recommendation: L1 Attested (PRODUCTION preset)

python
society = create_agent_society("MyProject", preset=SocietyPreset.PRODUCTION)

Cross-Organization API

Recommendation: L2 Contracted (ENTERPRISE preset)

python
society = create_agent_society("MyProject", preset=SocietyPreset.ENTERPRISE)

Financial Transactions

Recommendation: L2 or L3 depending on value

python
# Configure for contracted trust
from lib.society.presets import SocietyBuilder, TrustTier

society = (SocietyBuilder("FinanceProject")
    .with_trust_tier(TrustTier.L2_CONTRACTED)
    .with_contract_enforcement(True)
    .with_agents(["payment_agent", "verification_agent"])
    .build())
python
society = create_agent_society("MyProject", preset=SocietyPreset.DEVELOPMENT)
python
society = create_agent_society("MyProject", preset=SocietyPreset.PRODUCTION)
python
society = create_agent_society("MyProject", preset=SocietyPreset.ENTERPRISE)
python
# Configure for contracted trust
from lib.society.presets import SocietyBuilder, TrustTier

society = (SocietyBuilder("FinanceProject")
    .with_trust_tier(TrustTier.L2_CONTRACTED)
    .with_contract_enforcement(True)
    .with_agents(["payment_agent", "verification_agent"])
    .build())

L2Medium$10-$100/monthEnterprise-grade
L3High$100-$1000/monthCritical infrastructure

Escalation and De-escalation

Automatic Escalation Triggers

  • •3+ violations in 24 hours → +1 tier
  • •Dispute open >48 hours → +1 tier
  • •Multi-party conflict → Jump to L3
  • •Critical axiom violation → Jump to L3

De-escalation

  • •7 days compliance with no violations → -1 tier (minimum L0)
