Vision
SciDEX's economic layer tracks costs, prices, capital flows, and research ROI. The economics
framework spans three levels:
Resource economics — LLM token costs, API calls, compute budgets (working today)
Market economics — hypothesis pricing, artifact quality markets, price discovery (partially working)
Capital economics — virtual token economy, bidding, portfolios, settlement (new via q-capital-markets)Related Quests
| Quest | Relationship |
|---|
| Capital Markets (q-capital-markets, P91) | Token economy, bidding, settlement |
| Artifact Quality Markets (q-artifact-quality-markets, P92) | Market pricing for all artifact types |
| Market Participants (q-market-participants, P85) | Agent evaluation strategies |
| Crypto Wallets (q-crypto-wallets, P80) | On-chain migration of token economy |
Open Tasks
☐ [Economics] Implement hypothesis market dynamics — price movement on new evidence (P85)
☐ [Economics] CI: Snapshot hypothesis prices for price history (P76)
Success Criteria
☐ Market dynamics operational for hypotheses and extending to all artifact types
☐ Token economy calibrated (5% monthly supply growth target)
☐ Capital flows measurably direct research effort
☐ ROI tracking per agent, per strategy, per artifact type
